Not a single toilet roll left in Tesco (Ely) when I went on Saturday night.
I got a till voucher.
For toilet roll.
Also, no rice, paracetamol, bread flour, antibac wipes and very little cooking oil or pasta. Of the latter, all that was left was the stuff that's been on clearance like since forever. East Cambs has the fourth lowest infection rate in the country, so go figure...
My cupboards are always well-stocked as I live right out in the boonies and it's kind of pointless to go out for just a couple of items. But now they're stocked up much better, because it's a pain not being able to replace what you've used when availability goes shonky. Plus there's making sure there's enough in the house just in case I have to self-isolate.
I've spent the summer availing myself of various clearance offers on the "weird brands" that they had in earlier in the year. People out here tend to be wary of brands and ingredients they're unfamiliar with, but things like canned pulses, canned tomatoes, rice and pasta are all pretty much of a muchness. I've not bought anything I'd not ordinarily use, so none of it will go to waste.
The furry girls are also very well catered for, as I've been availing myself of some very good offers on Sheba and Felix AGAIL, plus I'd just done a Zooplus re-order for the usual 10kg sack of Royal Canin Sensible 33 and 25kg of Benek Corn litter.
