Tbh Meryl I could only find one brand of pesto in my tiny local Co-op ! ?

I think unless you are looking for something specific, you may not notice
Last week in Tesco, there was no celery, radish, or green beans and a distinct lack of choice of fabric conditioner
In the fruit and vegetables aisle, once you started to really look, there were obvious gaps
Prices have increased too

There are empty shelves here in South Liverpool in Asda Sainsbury's and Aldi. It's mostly meat and some toiletries. Have been told in each store it's logistics getting food from warehouses etc.

Nope. All’s good in Southend ?

No shortages here in NE Scotland. I’ve heard talk of shortages elsewhere but no one actually seems to have experienced a shortage themselves. It’s always ‘My sister-in-law’s cousin’s aunt’s first husband couldn’t get his specialty gnat’s milk from Fiji’ type stuff. ?

Not great with regards to Tesco and a few of the local shops have signs up with regard to shortages.

No shortage seen here.

All fine here in SW Herts.

Sorry, can’t remember, should that have been France? Any shortages and empty shelves there?

I haven’t noticed anything much apart from milk being a bit short but there was enough just not as full as usual
I went to the supermarket (Asda) Saturday and didn’t see any empty shelves at all My local co op seems to have everything as normal So maybe we re lucky

What are your stories and anecdotes about the current shortage on some shelves?
