Current experiences when food shopping in Scotland in October 2021

What experiences are Scottish consumers currently having when shopping for food items? Between September 22 and October 3, 2021, approximately 53 percent of responding Scottish shoppers were confronted with less variety in stores. A larger share of respondents in Scotland were faced with less variety than respondents from the rest of Britain.
A share of 26 percent of responding consumers were unable to find replacement items for unavailable products. Less than a third of Scottish consumers have been spared these experiences and stated that they were not faced with any of the scenarios posted in the survey.
Half a month later the share of people not experiencing any of the stated scenarios had grown by ten percent. More respondents (+6%) stated they needed to go to more shops to get what they normally buy.
