There is every reason to shop differently. It might not be the same everywhere, but near me the shops are taking advantage by only stocking the more expensive versions, and have removed lots of things and replaced them with others. 
For instance, Sainsburys have actually taken away the fresh meat aisle and filled it with alcohol. I suppose there is more profit in gin than mince?

I finally got some toilet roll (after lots of traipsing when really, my family needs to not risk shops but there are no deliveries) but I paid £12.70 for the same amount I usually pay £3.95 for.

Also, if people are home they are consuming more food at home rather than at school college or work and so everyone will need far more shopping than before.

The food that was destined for workplaces and schools must be somewhere, but it is not on the supermarket shelves, that's for sure.  :)[/quote]

They might have been daft but there is a generation of us who avidly close farmgates, dip not dazzle, and remember that the outside lane is for overtaking only! They certainly need them back for pedestrians: 'Don't just step out into the road - you're liable to be flattened by a car!' Sad we need such messages, but my god we do!
Honey	I think most people have no idea at all about cross contamination. I would like to ~~beat them about the head until they listen~~ have more government sponsored adverts actually showing how the virus is transmitted. Like those safety adverts from the seventies. They might have been daft but there is a generation of us who avidly close farmgates, dip not dazzle, and remember that the outside lane is for overtaking only! I bought red rice yesterday from a shop that had two metre squares marked out on the floor, but the assistant took my change and licked her gloved hand so she could open the bag.

For instance, Sainsburys have actually taken away the fresh meat aisle and filled it with alcohol. I suppose there is more profit in gin than mince? Something that amazes me is that in every supermarket I've visited recently, they still have racks of fresh rolls and croissants on show. Now I was wary of them in 'normal' times, because I've seen so many people ignore the tongs and pick up the bread with their bare hands (sometimes after 'assessing' a number for crispness!). Now that's surely crazy when the staff are walking around as if they're in a hospital and customers are supposedly wary of handling loose change - but they're still putting out fresh bread exposed to the elements and various germ-laden fingers!
