Just went to the bulk food store and bought about $1k worth of food (mainly meat) and vitamins.
They were out of freezers otherwise I would have bought one (and more meat).
Things like this are why I did bitcoin. Not to buy a lambo.
One downside to my current status that I have noted is the lack of freezer space. A good deep freezer doesn't use much power and should be able to run on the solar/battery arrays. I'll keep that in mind and get one later when things are more normal, live and learn.
Why are you people hoarding food?
At lest where I live there is no shortage of anything except hand sanitizer and masks, and that is getting back in stock slowly as well.
I go shopping every third day, because that's when its time to buy more milk, I usually shop right before closing to avoid crowds, but I have done some daytime shopping too and it wasn't so bad, people were distancing.
Same in Italy.
No shortage of whatsoever, luckily the logistical/supply chain hasn't been disrupted (yet).
I have anedoptically spotted a general raise in prices. My guess is that people go and shop once a week or so, or get online delivery. So when they get an online slot or go to the shop, they don't lose time comparing all the different brands or pick the best price/quality, they just grab what they know and minimise the time inside the shop.
So the bastards (ahah free market dude) are actually raising prices.
Once nice development @arriemoller is online queuing for physical shop. We used to queue outside shops respecting social distancing, this meant HOURS queening and logistical difficulties (what happen when you have 100 people queuing 200 meters long?
So now you can "take a ticket in the queue with app like "ufirst". This disrupted
my our kamikaze tactic to blitz half an hour before shop closing.
