I have been shopping twice in the last three weeks (Co-op) and have been quite shocked at the shortages. I can’t get:
Aubergines, peppers, courgettes Honey (this is tragic as it’s what I sweeten my tea with 😳) Flour Chick peas Broccoli Halloumi cheese (an utter disaster in our house).
Plenty of spuds and onions though. My cooking is going to become very British, sigh 🙄

I have been looking for flour for weeks, and the grocery stores are out. Everyone has been baking up a storm (including me).

Nearly everything was in stock when I went on Saturday, except long-life milk. I didn't look for flour or yeast! but I didn't notice many empty or depleted shelves.

The first 2 weeks or so toilet paper was hard to get, but any other item has been in stock after the first week. Items in the hardware store are a different story according to my husband though, but even then he says they can get everything back in stock in 2 days.

Just asked for a short list from Trader Joe's (my alternate grocer) and the list all came back but for the flour and yeast. Neither of those.
I take it as heartening that folks are getting back in to homemade bread. Nothing like fresh baked bread to bond one to a specific locale (where the bread was cooling), or baker.

Lots of bread and baked goods available here.
I just did my weekly grocery shopping and finally saw flour! But the only size they had was the ginormous huge bags which would last me several years. And still no normal sized bags!

We weren't able to get jalapenos for over a week which was severely tragic.
