dry goods
Cloth and notions
Dry goods are retail merchandise that isn't wet, fresh, or perishable—typically textiles, clothing, and related items like thread, ribbons, and notions.
In American usage, a dry goods store historically sold fabric and sewing supplies rather than groceries or hardware.
The term also applies in wholesale and shipping contexts to non-liquid commodities like grains, flour, and other shelf-stable products that can be stored without refrigeration.
