Same. I did notice however that prices went up across the board, and some generic products appeared that I hadn’t seen before.

The biggest difference (in the U.K.) is that almost all offers, discounts, disappeared. Effectively a temporary price hike.

So I concluded that probably my mistake was to underestimate the power of the market to regulate demand through higher prices. I can imagine people who stockpiled initially wouldn’t have been so keen to fill the trolley once the prices of some products doubled.
