To be honest, we have been trying to avoid the supermarkets where possible, always have avoided Tesco and use Lidl if needs be, as SWMBO says, so many idiots still milling around it's a breeding ground for contagion.
I think, with both of us coming from families living on the sides of a mountain (strangely enough, SWMBO's newly wed grandparents moved into the holding where my grandparents started their married life before moving slightly nearer to the valley floor) we've had it ingrained into us to always have a little stash of food for when the weather shuts down so, rather than panic buying we've been avoiding the big shops and just doing the usual calls to local shops for fresh stuff and bread and dipping into our tinned stores when the fresh stuff gets scarce.
Usually shop at local butchers and grow a lot of our own veg (still have carrots, spuds onions from last year and broccoli and leeks still growing. Go to Lidl in Aber but that's half an hour away. Lampeter is only ten minutes.
