Wow just popped into sainsbury's to get some bread I have 5 children in my house and they go though the stuff like you wouldn't believe with packed lunches etc.
So I get in no bread at all so ok I'll get flour and make some so I got to that ail only a few small bags of plan flour left I pick up two bags and head to the till only to have one bag taken off me by the cashier saying only one bag per customer. I told her that I have 5 children at home and I need to make bread etc for school dinners but she said sorry I cant help you.
What the hell has the world come to when you cant even buy.flour |

I went into my local Sainsbury’s yesterday. There was hardly any fresh fruit or veg, no eggs, no flour, the only bread available was the bread produced in the in store bakery. Now undoubtedly selfish people are hoarding but I’m starting to question if there are issues in the supply chain. |

According to the BBC website, Sainsburys have introduced limits on customers due to the whole panic buying problem. This will be why they have scrutinised your shopping |

I was just shocked and embarrassed to have a bag of flour taken off me and felt like I had to justify wanting to buy more than one and that I'm not panic buying I just wanted some flour so I could cook bread for my children |

Yes I can understand why you found it embarrassing. I think we're all going to be shocked by the practicality of this. |

I have 4 children at mine. I think we just need sensibility to come back and then normality can resume again. We need people to get out of this stockpiling mentality asap and get some order.

Its not so much the difference in the bread but more the fact he had to have a tuna sandwich in his lunch |

Sainsbury sent out early this morning new updates, this thursday the first hour of store opening is reserved for elderly and vulnerable.
"From Monday 23rd March, our online customers who are over 70 years of age or have a disability will have priority access to online delivery slots"
They've also expanded click & collect sites and are allowing isolated customers to collect from those sites, sometimes in a space within the car park.
They are closing the cafes, meat fish & pizza counters in supermarkets. And will continue to ration items.
I suspect most supermarkets will make similar adjustments soon enough  |
