Can anyone shed any light on this?
I can't get my head round why it's flown off the shelves. (Someone did say parents making play dough or whatever but not convinced.)
Is everyone baking like mad out of boredom?
Or- and this was my first thought- did everyone panic, think what they would need if they were locked down with no food for weeks and all think..
Ta dah! We need flour to make bread - one of life's essential foods.
Given there is no shortage of bread, cakes or baked good in the supermarkets, I really don't understand. Even if people normally do a bit of baking each week, it doesn't explain the huge shortage.
It doesn't affect me much personally as I am gluten-free, and can use other flours, but it's just weird.
