Missfoodlove. Agreed, my local butcher has plenty of meat and also sells veg. It’s a tad more expensive but much better quality. Go back to the local shops!

What about preppers? Now they are scary.

Ghandi said There is plenty for everyone's need but not for everyone's greed.

Plenty on all shelves in my area. Depends where you live and the local mindset. Many of us were brought up to be patient and to queue quietly.

I understand that in certain supermarkets you can now only buy a maximum of 3 of anything. However, some of the retail staff are being abused by the selfish lowlife, who feel their need is greater than anyone else's. There is also the situation when someone maybe shopping for a family member or neighbour and would require more items. I wouldn't be surprised if official rationing is introduced at some stage.

I wish stores would impose limits-

I'm still upset by a local news article this evening.A critical care nurse sobbing in her car because after after a gruelling long shift she tried to do some shopping and could hardly get anything,She was so tired and distraught.She summed it up.What's wrong with you ?Why are you behaving like this ?To all those idiots who most likely already have mountains of stuff clearing out the shelves. I wish they could be named and shamed.

I walked on to our local high street today where butchers, greengrocers etc had plenty of stock.
Sadly everyone flocks to the supermarkets!

A butchers chicken has done us two main meals with some left, I made stock then soup with the carcass using the veg that was past its best.
It’s really not difficult.

I will not buy anything until we have finished all the fresh produce.

I assume you mean those clearing the shelves and buying all the flour, bread etc they can fit in their baskets. Then go back for more.

How granniechrissie ?

These people are ignorant, selfish, thoughtless, insensitive, unconcerned and heartless. I can think of more words but my comment would be deleted by admin.

How to you shame people that have no respect for other health, comfort and safety .
