It’s been interesting reading the different situations in supermarkets around the country. Though of course depends on specific time of visit too. Practically everyone reports back some empty shelves though, the bulk buying is absolutely nationwide, the products may be more varied.oh wow really! where I am there are so many piled up in all the big supermarkets
That said, i live in central ish London (zone 2) and don’t have a car. There are some reasonably sized supermarkets near me but I don’t often bother to go to them - and I’ve completely avoided them recently. Cornershop/ off licence/ newsagent type places are everywhere in my area and these days sell lots of decent grocery items too (a benefit of gentrification?).
The one I went in today you’d never know anything unusual was happening except for this sign.
Generally these places are a bit pricier with less choice but it’s worth pointing out if you have a shop like this near you and are worried about not getting things you need at the supermarket. I also bought paracetamol.
