There's also a notable lack of choice recently.

One tiny example I was frustrated by recently... soy sauce. You used to be able to get light / dark / reduced salt / premium versions of soy sauce in most supermarkets.

Recently I had a couple of weeks where I couldn't find any at all, and now it's down to just a single brand of supermarket own dark soy sauce.

I'm a bit of a food/cooking nut so since covid supply issues I now buy anything I'm not willing to substitute in bulk from reliable outlets (usually ethnic shops) and rely on supermarkets only for basic perishable 'English food'- vegetables, meat, dairy. Though even those items are in poor supply sometimes.
