It's been weeks since the panic buying started where I live in the UK and despite the government and shops insisting there is enough food and supplies, the shelves are still not stocked. My keyholder friend said that 800 items were missing from the last delivery he took on Friday, the shop is still half empty and it will only be worse after this weekend. The problem is all the chain store's warehouses are empty, they now have to wait for manufacturers to make and deliver the stock, but the manufacturers have their own problems with supplies and workers getting the flu.

A simple flu, and the whole just-in-time system comes crashing down.

Everything is filling back up except for paper products which are being rationed still. The warehouses are saying they have plenty but food and medical supplies are priority. Likely a week or two and we'll start seeing plenty of toilet paper with rations, then no rations. By now everyone has a month of food stored so there's very little panic buying in our area. Eventually delivery services will catch up and we'll be able to prepare over time a lot easier.

Yeah people over here keep saying it's fine, stores will be stocked soon! But it's been weeks now and shit is still fucked.
What I want to know is why idiots hoarded or panic bought all the toilet paper in the first place. It's not like toilet paper expires or you won't be able to go to the store to buy more. Still no toilet paper to be found anywhere, it's ridiculous.

No TP, No paper towels/napkins, minimal cleaning supplies
Little bread except for the whole grain/nutty varieties so a win for me
Limits on eggs, limits on milk

I don't get out there. I can report the big "wholesale shopping club" stores were 99% empty on beef and chicken. Barren shelves. But I got a report that a normal suburban grocery store in suburban Maryland (Columbia) was fine. No shortages.

My relatives report zero problems in finding the food they need around Baltimore. Same for me, besides a couple wasted trips to the big box stores which ended in frustration.

Yeah the panic buyers really fucked everything up. There is genuinely plenty of food, but manufacturers now have to basically run 24/7 to replenish the shit because dinguses thought they needed 30 lbs of rice and flour for some dumb reason

There was more to it King. The restaurants had to shut down too, and people felt locked up in their houses, so the grocery stores had all the sudden, more demand than they ever did. They even had more demand than their own supply chains could satisfy. Instantly creating a bottlneck and empty shelves.

Once people figured out they could take-out from restaurants for meals, the grocery stores were able to catch up, along with using rationing.

(Restaurants also opened back up)

No problems with food. Only things lacking are toilet paper, lysol wipes, and hand sanitizer. To buy any of those you generally need to line up when stores open, and usually there's enough TP to go around (lysol wipes and hand sanitizer are more sparse though)

Pretty good, though the egg shelves are still pretty empty. Theres a couple of large boxes but it's far emptier than normal.

A few weeks ago it was picked over like hell, bare shelves everywhere, the only stuff left was stuff that was either expensive or undesirable.
Went last week, I actually found some toilet paper and things were back in stock. Guess the panic buying season ended as quickly as it started.

The unique situation of being an online store (largest in the country) is that everyone panic buys one or two brands of something but nothing else. Usually what's on special or just the popular brands.
Most heavily applied to TP and tissues but also everything. We ran out of our tiny stock of yeast and other baking doodads 3 weeks ago and flour is really bare this week. What is full on the shelf i expect to empty in a couple days as nothing else will be showing on the website.

Retail isn't the only thing shut down dipshit. Auto makers are shutting their doors left and right. ALL manufacturing will be shut down by the 15th. Aerospace is done too. Fucking grocers will be on reduced hours and layoffs in a couple months when they don't have enough paying customers to justify their hours.

Depends on where you live. You want diced tomatos go for crushed or whole peeled. For rice try exotic brands that don't sell much normally.
Rationing is sort of like betting on a horse because you don't know what we have tons of or nothing at all.
Our kosher section has seen a huge spike in sales and I'm not American. Problem is supply for that is sporadic at best so any ethnic shit is hard to replenish.
We sold through a dozen pallets of toilet paper to supply people who ordered another brand in a day. Next week its going to be the same with that initial brand unless we get another bulk delivery of literally anything.

A lot of long term storage foods is kinda hard to come by. You can find "enough" here and there. But you're not going to be leaving with what you have on your shopping list.
My main concern is cleaning supplies. I can't find anything.
I'm trying to ration out a couple of jugs of bleach and one can of disinfectant spray. I have enough hand sanitizer, but that's pretty useless considering I wash my hands like I have OCD
