Re: What are the odd things you miss with the shortages
It's become somewhat of a game to me these days to try find all the things that are on my shopping list; the baking aisles continue to be decimated and look like they have been looted, with little to no stock on the shelves. I ordered some prunes for a Christmas cake recipe and my personal shopper (click and collect) substituted with those snack size bags that have three prunes in each sachet LOL
I had been looking for brown sugar for several weeks and finally found some yesterday. Winning!

Agree that at present grocery shopping can be a bit hit and miss with the most odd items being unavailable.

However, very recently a former work colleague has opened a bakery in my little township, and after a couple of goes has managed to nail a proper pork pie, so I'm a very happy chappy at the moment 😁
