Corona Cavern

[SarrissUK]

I'm lucky - we have a 'Company shop' here that NHS can get memberships to and they sell surplus from supermarkets and somehow they still had lots of chicken in when I went last week! I filled the freezer (there was a little gap at the top!) and won't go back until it's all gone. At �1.50 per kilo, I can't complain

I have booked in a night out, but in on Saturday with my friends. We will have nibbles, booze and a ruddy good chinwag, with each in their own living room, and Zoom

It's the social interactions I miss the very most...

Oh well it’s the thought that counts!! x

[Containergardener]

I did think about it Jay , wondered who could courier it fast enough

[Jay22]

Hey CG, could your OH not have bagged me some chicken in the store!!

What is quarantining food Snoop?

[Containergardener]

Well done bramble braving the world.

Quanantining food?

No flour today.
We got chicken though Jay, OH said was plenty

Braved the big wide world today for the first time since the 6th April. Not too bad and the shops were not too crowded. Seemed that people were doing the ‘big shop’ like me. Bought enough for the next three weeks at least. The shelves were mostly reasonably stocked with only a few gaps notably flour!

How are you guys all managing with quarantining food? Or is that not a recommendation in the UK?

How is food being quarantined? There's limits on buying more than a certain number of things here.

The supermarket delivery slots seem ultimately random, just have to keep looking every few hours. Early morning and tea-time has been lucky for some slots.

As for flour, that's also hit and miss but seems to be coming back into stock.

Been a lovely day here, makes thing more bearable for sure, but we do live in the countryside.

I'm going on the mission for slots again soon Good news is that I got the laptop so can work from home for two days a week

[Jay22]

Apologies to Tesco tried this morning and got a delivery slot for tomorrow, chicken?...we will see
Spoke to a girl on Tesco’s twitter and she said they release slots through the day so as not to crash the website but just to keep trying. Might be worth trying on and off during the day? x

Have you got an Aldi? They have had a constant supply.
Does anyone know of any supermarket chain with bread flour?

OH going into morrisons today , il get him to have a look for chicken and bread flour

[Snoop Puss]

Flour bought online out of quarantine today.

Mr Snoop does all our shopping. Still haven't got used to the idea of the food being in quarantine for three days. Makes my usually abysmal food planning absolutely impossible.

Haven't bought any meat or fish since 9 March. A bit in the freezer but just as well we like legumes.

I must have just been lucky with Tesco last week. Checked for priority slots...nothing for at least the next three weeks. No chicken for me again it seems!

[greenishfing]

Morning
Sunny and breezy still. We have a supermarket run to do today , see if we can get some chicken again.
My question is why the shortage ? Where was the chicken coming from to now be short ?

I shall carry on with my weeding and planting later, followed by cooking on the bbq .
Have a good day

^^^^ I've just seen your reply and tried. Nothing tesco but got an asda slot for 6th May , better than I've had lately ..nothing.
Thanks for that.

^^^Good luck with your chicken hunting.

Edit: Might be worth checking for some. Tessico had delivery slots for w/c 11/05. Just randomly went on and they were available for me this morning and I am not classed as vulnerable.
