Before i decide if its worth the risk/hassle of queues etc to do a supermarket run, It would be interesting to get an idea of what if anything other than ppe and hand sanitiser is absent from the shelves atm?

Last time i went it was a nightmare and many shelfs had been panic picked clean, so i couldn't stock up on the staples that i now need (flour, pasta rice dried fruits etc...)

Also on that day the supermarket had decreed that everyone was limited to buying a max number of 3x any 1 item, fair enough under the conditions then, but are similar limitations still in place??

If i ask locally i will get an earful of well intentioned advice to stay inside and offers to get stuff locally for me which are great but the local shops dont have the stuff i want, And i do miss the little treats that never get listed but get picked up on a whim when on offer or just because they look yummy..

Cheers..
 
Things aren't too bad now & might be even better since the last time I went but eggs & flour were like hens teeth

The supermarkets are well organised so the experience isn't that bad, just a queue to get in & at the tills, inside is very calm
 
On a more serious note.. in my area (East-Central Scotland) tinned tomatoes are not available anywhere. Loads of fresh ones though because the unwashed masses either haven't worked out what's actually in a tin of tomatoes or are not allowed access to the sharp objects required to prepare them.

Brown rice is almost impossible to find. Got one bag today after three weeks.

That's about it really.

The bastids even stripped the GF stuff, thats what i need.
