I find it funny to check out what is getting sold out. Paper towels and potatoes had my smirking when I was at ALDI. Oh well, maybe people will start eating better?

We had to fill up with gas so I went in the store and got 16 boxes of lids and 12 boxes of pectin. I'll need more lids but I was trying not to freak anyone out. The cashier still did some. Why didnt they freak when I bought 30 boxes for tuna?

I also noticed at Costco (a week ago) they don't buy basic staples and "ingredients"....

I noticed this too at coles! Pasta, potatoes, bread, tinned tomatoes and soups were wiped out. Mince was gone but there was plenty of other meat. Spices were on special and the only one that was sold out was garlic salt. Apparently aussies only know how to cook spaghetti bolognese.

All of my staples were still in stock. Curry paste, oils, rice, beans, fresh fruit and veg were in full supply. There was a limit on "off the shelf" ready made meals. The spam shelf did not appear to be touched at all lol.

There is a fever clinic being set up on the coast. If I didn't catch it last night, I will be safe for a while. There still hasn't been a case recorded in 300kms of me with just over 50 in the state so far. I am allll good as long as the power doesn't go out. Hope you are all staying safe.

I try :lol: I have an abundance of pears right now, and herbs, but veg is hit and miss at this stage. I am prepared to plant some more soon. I've got a lovely cottage type garden with a mix of natives throughout, but still learning about growing produce. Storage is an issue for me, and I am quite unorganised at the moment! Although also very proud of being so well prepared so far too! I just dont have a"spot" for everything yet. Plenty of time for that now :D

Loads of sun here, I am thankful for the rain!
Pears! Can them! Plant veggies, they are so good out of the garden.
