Where do you live? Hannahs and Jewel are typically what I find at my local markets - but not all markets carry them. The big box chain grocery store closest to my house only carries Jewel. I need to go to a different market chain to find the Hannahs. Sometimes I have to shop several markets to find items I want or need. While I understand markets can only carry so many items at a time, I think the entire food chain is askew, but that is a topic for another time.
"Back in the day" all markets carried fresh "prune plums" during their very short season. Now only one market carries them - in the 3 or 4 weeks they are available I buy lots and freeze as well as gobble as many as I can stuff into my tummy.
