Are you experiencing big gap in the shelves in your area?

Nobody will go hungry, despite the endless scaremongering going on.

People in this country go hungry every day. Ask Marcus Rashford. This will make it worse.

If your comment about food shortages being beneficial to some is meant to be a backhand comment about people's size, that's very uncalled for and very insensitive.

Yes, Sainsburys pretty empty. I did a click and collect for £40 worth and ended up with £17 worth! Plenty of stock in M&S though.

Aw

Yes gaps here of bread & veg in our local convenience store - & meat - but that may be down to the local shop-lifter.

Loads of gaps in our area (North Nottinghamshire). Silly things like tinned tomatoes, bottled water etc

local large tesco fine, the one they do all the picking for online shoppers is a bit bare

However ??? for the tooth ?‍♀️ and ?

Asda only had orange squash on Friday, odd gaps in other places.

Had to do an online Asda shop in Co Durham on Monday as we’re self isolating and couldn’t get fresh chicken, celeriac, strawberries, blueberries, and broccoli.

I'm in Bristol and Sainsbury's is awful, lots of empty shelves! However Tesco is fine ?. I don't know if it's staff problems are delivery to store

Our Tesco was fine but apparently Sainsbury’s has some empty shelves. Lidl doesn’t seem to have any problem either.

They’ll all be making space for Halloween and Christmas soon.

A practically empty beer aisle in Waitrose, and a few shelves not full in Sainsbury's, but otherwise everything available.

No shortages in west Lancashire

Just back from the New Forest and shelves were pretty empty in the supermarkets there.

I guess a thought here is what’s happening to all the food that’s not being delivered? Is it being thrown away?

Shortages are to do with people isolating. Products are not being produced in the quantities they usually supply. Hopefully will be normal soon.

No cauliflower or broccoli, no bread,no green beans at our local Asda,Iceland Co op,Spar,Nisa or Morrisons this weekend,there were several items missing from my last order from Asda but I can't remember them all

My small Coop today had a sign today apologising for shortages but the only shelf that seemed to be empty was one with a promotion for cheap crisps.

No milk in Tesco tonight!

Cod in Butter Sauce AWOL for several weeks at our Sainsbury’s - I’m desolate - with creamy mash and peas creamy mash it’s genuine comfort food. Up there with home made rice pudding or bread and butter pudding

Doesn’t all this highlight just how fussy we have become with our food now we have become completely accustomed to large supermarkets giving us such a huge selection of everything?

Take for instance bread and milk. We are so used to there being dozens of variations of those two basic simple food items, so if we are presented with even a slightly limited selection we feel shortchanged.

Nobody will go hungry, despite the endless scaremongering going on.
We only have to look around us to see that food shortages would actually be beneficial to an increasing number of people.

How condescending and judgemental are you!

When I was a kid I ate snails from the hedge

Damn - I knew I shouldn't have used slug pellets, really don't think our snails would be safe to eat
