The Hard to Find Grocer began in 1996 as a source of hard-to-find favorites for transplanted northerners to warm, sunny Florida. It has since expanded to include
well over
2000 old-time favorite foods, shipping to all points in the US and beyond. Our product selection is based on customer request; you tell us what you can't find, we will try to carry. Due to the large volume of requests, we must limit our products to non-perishable, non-refrigerated food items only.
Use the "Contact Us" tab on the Hard to find Grocer Home Page.
There is no charge to research a product, but please check out our on-line shopping center and "Boy, they were good" listing of discontinued items first
(Located on the Hometown Favorites Store). Chances are, someone's already asked for what you're looking for and we may have the answer (or the product!) a few clicks away.
 We're often asked "why can't I find this product anymore?".
There are many reasons a product becomes scarce - lack of shelf space at your local grocer, not a big seller in your area, item is seasonal in nature, product is only produced sporadically making it hard for local grocers to stock on a regular basis. Most local grocers want to sell you new, Bigger, best - those items being promoted by big name manufacturers with the advertising muscle to consume the shelf space in your store.

The products we carry may come from small manufacturers with limited distribution, or items that are very regional in nature (coffee syrup,
Abba-Zabba bars). But we also carry some big names - Nabisco, Betty Crocker, Quaker - we just specialize in the flavors/brands that seem to never make their way to the shelves.
Because of the scarcity of some of
these products, we may occasionally be out of something or may have a longer
wait for our shipments than you would expect. We will do our best to serve you
on a timely basis
 We
are a small, corporation determined to give you good value for your dollar. We
recycle all boxes and shipping materials we receive and your order most likely
won't arrive in a fancy box. We guarantee our products to be fresh and to arrive
in good condition - and hopefully as good as you remember them!
