Early in the morning, very few peeps and fresh bread but can't buy a vino or a beer.
Afternoon way more people but you get everything.
Late evening, few people but no fresh bread and less veggies.
I'd make my own bread but some knobheads bought up all the flour and yeast.
It's crazy, so you might end up going twice which completely defeats the purpose.
What's your strategy? |

So not easy done in bigger towns and cities.get veg from local veg shop and meat from butchers. Some of these also have locally baked breads.think local and small shops support them now more than ever. |

"Fresh bread one, morning. Fresh alcohol the next evening lol
There you go two journeys to the shop, double exposure. This no alcohol selling before 11am is complete utter nonsense."
Also pointless as a lot of the main supermarkets here are allocating times early for NHS and then the vulnerable before 11 |

Fair point, even the elderly might like a glass of wine now and then, and the hard workers deserve one on a day off. |

My local shop allows you to ring in an order and you really can get everything this way . Its a smaller supermarket so I guess its easier to manage |

"Don't drink so its not an issue for me
Yeah, if Lee were with you, I'm sure you'd have an odd one now and then. "
Oh if I was with her, she would be way too distracted to even think of having one |

Hence a well stocked bar plus i don't drink at home normally "
So you were stockpiling for thirty years, is that what you're saying? |

I buy from local butcher, veg guy bakery and fishmonger. A little more expensive but safer than large supermarkets. Stay safe everyone. |

Simple answer what I do my local Spar opens at 6 so at around 7 I go get milk bread etc so I have the basic.
Then I drop them home and then walk up to lidl for around 8 a small line. And buy a few things if I need and home for 8.45 and if I need to my butcher shop opens at 9 a quick drive round and normally finish by around 10 if I call into Iceland where I park the car beside.
Or if I drop into the Spar garage I can get Nearly every thing. But it's a bit hit and miss for a few things.
I live beside two Tesco two Lidls a few Spar And m&s are 5 minute drive. Oh the there is 3 Iceland and other shops. Joy's of living in my part of Belfast |

I live 20km from the nearest shop, but I have lots of food in the house. I've only left the house twice in the past 24 days, and am very content. All the booze is gone, except a bottle of Proseco, which talks to me every evening from the fridge. I think I've lost weight, as I'm going for long walks in the bog every day, nobody about. I think this will go on for quite a bit, but for now I'm very happy. At least the weather I'd dry and sunny. |

Found some flour and even yeast yesterday in Tesco. Now I can make my country's traditional Sunday bread for the weekend. |

"No dilemma until no eggs
I bake my own bread and do my own almond and coconut milk, also homemade butter
Yummy
"
Good girl. I've started baking now and loving it. Lots of time to practice. It's slowly becoming edible |
