One pound bags of flour coming to grocery stores through the grocery supply chains were in high demand, because previously almost no one bought flour on that channel. Meanwhile, bakeries kept on trucking along, AFAICT, with an uninterrupted supply of 50lb bags from the non-retail supply chain.

Yup, in the UK the local butcher started selling flour in clear plastic bags with a hand written sticker on it.

I guess they had an existing relationship with flour wholesale to make their pie pastry and just re-bagged it in house.
