Message: <blockquote data-quote="gennepher" data-source="post: 2229555" data-attributes="member: 238814">I didn’t expect the retail park car park to be packed to the gills with cars at 8:30 am this Monday morning. I went to get cat food and some tins of meat for myself.I wasn’t prepared for swathes of empty shelves. Any toilet rolls were already flying out of the shop doors...There is cat food in abundance and so I got Popeye’s dried food and wet food, but I forgot the cat litter.So then I was looking for cans of chicken in white sauce, and beef in gravy, for me.  I wash the gravy and sauce and such off because of the diabetes  (too much sugar and carbs in that) but I can get away with that meat itself, as long as I don’t eat it every day. Absolutely no cans of beef chunks in gravy, nor chicken in white sauce in any of the places I tried.I only have the tiniest table top freezer which you can get a dozen packets of fish fingers in, and little else. I am not a lover of frozen foods and so it suited me. But this now means I don’t have a back up food supply, like most of my friends who have a chest freezer in the garage, as well as an upright freezer in the kitchen. I only have a table top fridge, as equally as tiny. But that was okay initially because I bought fresh foods most days. But in the current ‘crisis’, there is a possibility this shopping daily may not be an option.I couldn’t find the coffee I like either...those shelves are empty. So came home coffeeless...but I did find some apple cider vinegar so looks like I might have to drink that....I was over tired by this time, so came home. I have just realised tins of spam were in abundance on the shelves. I should have got some, but didn’t. I was too tired to think clearly on that.On couch now with a cuppa ... zzzzzz....,</blockquote>
