    I looked high and low for it near the rice (thanks, Wayne). They put it
    near the soups. Dumb, IMNSHO.

    That's where I would put it, too, but I think most supermarkets put it with the
    cereal. Wherever it is that they put it, I always have a terrible time finding
    it. I don't buy it often enough to remember where it's stocked.

    Barley should be by the beer.

    I guess if I was stocking the shelves of a store, I'd put it in a
    different place each time I stocked the shelves. That seems to be what
    they do around here.

    BUT, it should be with the dried things like beans or the rice.

    I would put it beside the rice one time, and the next time I would put it with
    the lentils and dried beans.

    Near the rice and/or dried beans.

    Who adds uncooked barley to canned soups!?
    Obviously the market was stocked by people who
    don't know food/cooking?

    This reminds me of the time I was trying to find flour tortillas for a
    "tex-mex" pot luck at the office. I searched high and low for flour
    tortillas to make quesadillas. Were they on the "Mexican" aisle or with the
    "ethnic" foods? Nope. Were they in the cold case by the cheese and eggs?
    Nope. I found them with the bread. Okay, bread... tortillas; I suppose it
    makes sense, kinda.

    It makes a nice pilaf and is a welcome addition to beef or lamb soup 🙂 I
    would never think of looking for it where the cereal is. It's barley, not
    oats!

    The three grocery stores where I do most of my shopping keep their tortillas in
    different places. One has them at the end of the in store bakery, right next to
    the fish counter. One has them at the end of the frozen vegetable aisle, and the
    third has them at the end of the bread section, which is separate from the in
    store bakery.

    My store keeps them in two or three places. Not with the bread, though.
    Go figure.
