Sporadic shortages in all our supermarkets, bottled water, frozen veg, chilled foods seem to be the main shortages at the minute.
Microwave rice and pasta very thin on the ground last week too!

I bet you stocked up on cake though😁

Please give me prior notice if you are going to my local sainsburys so I can stay home and lock all my doors.

Is it a shortage of foods or a shortage of HGV drivers delivering the foods?
I haven’t been able to get small cartons of pineapple juice for DD’s packed lunch for weeks.

I’ve tried every other brand and type but he doesn’t like them!
I haven’t been able to get these for months either. Have they been discontinued?

I don't think I have ever been without frozen peas before in all my married life. We don't eat them every day but they are just there as a back up, this is a new dystopia!

I only ever buy M&S frozen peas after working in a pea processing plant and like you my freezer looks bare without them. Might buy a small back from Tesco just to calm my OCD but with no intention of eating them until I get some from M&S …..

We’ve had supply issues with meat, salad, soy sauce and most annoying of all, building materials. Our extension should have been finished last month but is still only half finished, plus the cost of the roof has risen by £5,000 🤯
I have roof tiles on order and was quoted 10 week delivery. That's now extended to 4 to 6 Months!

They say not. But I have to wonder.
