Why is it so hard to get fruit and salad?

Is it my area or a widespread thing?

I'm trying to order a small same-day delivery so I have lunches and breakfasts for today and tomorrow until I can do a big shop.

Morrisons have suspended deliveries on Uber due to low stock. Tesco is sold out of all varieties of tomatoes, pineapples and grapes and also don't have the yogurts I like. Asda has sold out of lettuce, cucumber, and grapes. Iceland have sold out of lettuce and cucumbers.

It was the same last time I tried to order food online. What's going on?

@MarshaMelrose I also live in the NW and there is shortages of tomatoes, cucumber, spinach, salads, peppers etc and has been for a week near on. I'd like to know where you are so I can come and stock up 🤣

try Liverpool, plenty there!

@Howmanysleepsnow that's where I am (well, Crosby) it's got better in the past few days as long as I go early. I don't need that many tomatoes 🤣

Well, yes! I can’t see many people being affected by a 3 cucumber a day limit 😂
