Man of Honour
Saw someone in Aldi the other day with no less than 8 loaves of bread. Either they're panic buying or really love a good sarnie.
or a big meeting on a mount, hope he bought the right amount of fishes also.

all my local supermarkets apart from Iceland seem to be self service forced on people.I have found our local supermarket albeit making the most money it ever has is employing less and less checkout staff. There was one till open and about 20 empty last visit. They are pushing scan and shop and self serve checkouts.
Slight aside here, but supermarkets are probably behind the banks on this. For years there has been a relentless drive by already profitable banks to close branches and get customers to do things for themselves, mostly online. There used to be eight banks and building societies along my local high street and now there is just one. Not much consideration for old folk that don't want to adapt to new technology and prefer to use cash and cheques and pay bills in person.
One of mum’s friends insisted that she drove all the way to the town where her district council’s offices are and pay her council tax there. It’s about a 20 mile round journey. She didn’t even pop into the supermarkets there as cheaper and more variety than the poxy co-op in the village.Although I sympathise with people, old or otherwise, who prefer to pay bills with cheques or in person, a bean counter just looks at the bottom line, (I’m as old as the hills, but do banking online.)

My mum and a few friends said why not pay at the post office in the village?
To some extent, yes.Does that help?
I do know people who seem to shop every day, for that days food, I find that a bit weird really but each to their own.
I recently had to throw out a load of frozen food due to having no power for a while.
I also find frozen food seems to lose its quality moderately quickly, so if I was to stock up it would be tinned food, and I still have a fair amount of that from when the pandemic started.
your freezer should keep your food below 18c you might want to check it.I also find frozen food seems to lose its quality moderately quickly
