Rice a Roni's rice pilaf is excellent.  But so are  the Near East and Zatarain brands of rice pilaf.

I make mine with chicken broth instead of water and, because I'm a pea lover, always add a half-cup or so of frozen baby peas at the end of cooking.,.

Maybe adding broth or chicken stock would make the mix taste more like the one you're missing.

Slivered almonds can be another good addition.

@CelticCrafter Try this site:https://www.stonewallkitchen.com/food/jams-jellies-marmalades/.  They have great blueberry jams and other flavors. I haven't tried theirs but Vermont Country Stores sells blueberry and other jams.

@rms1954   I just got home from Publix, if you live near one, and they had Bumble Bee brand canned shrimp.  They had 2 can sizes.....one was for tiny shrimp and the other was for medium sized shrimp.  🍤🍤

Roman Meal whole wheat bread in the telltale orange wrapper.  I'm reading, though, that they don't make it anymore.  I still miss it.  🍞

@ValuSkr @Wow- Iwent to SUNY Oswego for college.  Sure do miss GB beans!

Peets Coffee has vanished from Publix in my area.  I am getting it from Costco, but there is a delivery charge (which is worth it to me--I love Peets and don't like the other brands on offer). 

I also mourn the absence of whole wheat Eggos.  (Sigh.)

We eat produce and unprocessed food mostly, and it is usually available....just at twice the price.

2 things I have never looked for to purchase, canned shrimp and frozen beans. As another poster said we eat as little processed food as possible. Fresh shrimp is easy to get in our area, as are Lima beans. When grocery shopping in general we don’t have a problem getting what is on our list. From farmers market, local farms and butcher shops, seafood off the dock, and the plain old grocery store. If there is a brand that is unavailable, we get the next best one we like.
