Getting some deliveries today/tomorrow

One thing I miss is having some larger stores which carry a greater variety.
This doesn't bother the Germans here because they aren't looking for the things that I am.
I will be getting 6 large cans of tomatillos.
Some Lyles Golden syrup. (Instead of honey)
Molasses. I could have gotten Grandma's but it is 2X more than some German brand.
3 different locations, none Amazon, will all be delivered at once.

One thing that frustrates me is buying sugar around here. US brown sugar is very hard to get and when available pricey. There is a British equivalent that my fav local store carried but no longer does. Now I order on line. My wife has fructose issues and most fo teh normal granulated is beet sugar. Sometimes it is a low fructose yield, other times not. She doesn't like being the fructose testing equipment. Now I get cane sugar from the BIO store. It is called Rohrohr Zucker. I mention it because the translation is Pipe ear sugar.

Glad I could skip Amazon for the purchases.

It is pricey but worse coconut is high in fructose and my wife can't have it.

She has fructose mal-absorbtion and her body doesn't work and play well with a high fructose ratio product.
