Shortages

[MichaelW2]

Is it because everyone is stocking their pantrys in case of shortages. I cant find any sunflower oil, which is well publicised. The lack of white vinegar on shelves is less known. Is everyone pickling ?
Mustard is the latest scare.
What else is missing from your local supermarket?

Common sense is very much in short supply I hear.

That's strange, I bought White Vinegar last time as they had no Brown. Happy with either now really.

Olives for me, sometimes there'll be plenty, other times absolutely none.

glazed cherries, blackcurrant, the latter is a world shortage

No pita bread in Aldi. A shame as I was looking forward one stuffed with fish fingers and mixed salad

Schools are short of paper for exams apparently.

Go to another shop? Corner shops often sell pittas, or Mediterranean supermarkets

Can't say I've noticed too much TBH. We don't use sunflower oil. With the pandemic supply issues, I've just got used to picking up what ever is available.

Wilko didn't have any brake blocks yesterday.

A 1l bottle of cooking oil lasts me a year or more! just opened a new bottle of rapeseed so I’ll be good for a bit

It is when you need to make your own mince meat for the pies ....

Unfortunately the other 2 local shops (smaller express style shops) are more expensive than the 1 supermarket in town. I've normally just done without something if they didn't have any.

Customer service

Hehe my supermarket does not have a customer service desk, but the staff on the shop floor are always helpful!
