Q: I’m trying to find a store that carries scones and crumpets, but other than Wolferman’s brand. Publix used to have a frozen crumpet, but I can’t find it now, and I don’t remember the name. Thank you. — Gloria Townsend, email
A: Gloria, you’ll soon be enjoying your scones and crumpets, without the bother of shipping costs. Taste of Britain, 73 S. Peachtree St., Norcross, 770-242-8585, stocks both frozen crumpets and scones. You’ll find Oakrun Farm crumpets, $5.60 for a package of six, and Cameron scones (plain or raisin), $8.25 for a half-dozen.
Q: I am trying to find L’Oreal Age Perfect Pro-Calcium, Radiance Perfector skin tint moisturizer in medium skin tone. I ordered it from Amazon after I could no longer find it in stores, but now they state it is discontinued. Please help me find this if possible. Thank you for your assistance. — Cathy S. Page, Winder
A: While the moisturizer has been discontinued by L’Oreal, I did find a few in medium tint on eBay.com. Prices start at around $29. There seems to be plenty of the light tint available but, as you’ve noticed, very little of the medium, so you might want to stock up while you look for another product that fits your needs.
Q: I am looking for the 8-ounce bottle of Astring-O-Sol mouthwash. This is the only mouthwash that my 94-year-old mother will use, and I haven’t been able to find it in about two years. I would appreciate it if you can find a location as close to Buckhead as possible. Thank you very much. — Suzy Wilner, email
A: With the slew of new mouthwashes on the shelves, the old-time Astring-O-Sol isn’t quite as easy to find as it once was, however, it’s not impossible. You can purchase 8-ounce bottles of Astring-O-Sol mouthwash for $14.99 at Tuxedo Pharmacy, 164 W. Wieuca Road, Atlanta, 404-255-3022. It’s a special order, but the store can usually get it in stock overnight if your order it during the week.
Q: We have been trying to locate dip-it coffee pot stain remover to no avail. It removes stains from metal, porcelain and glass. Do you know if it is available anywhere in the Atlanta area? Many thanks. — Helen Thompson, Sandy Springs
A: Helen, I found dip-it not far from you, and you can pick up 5-ounce boxes of the stain remover for $3.99 in the housewares section of General Hardware, 4218 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, 404-237-5209. And for those in other parts of the city, you can order dip-it from www.acehardware.com and have it delivered, without shipping charges, to an Ace Hardware store near you.
