Anything missing?

During the course of each week I compile the shopping list – it’s the usual stuff, broccoli, cheese, flour, caster sugar etc. Then on Fridays (usually) the hunter/gatherer, having boldly decided which supermarket to visit, takes on the task of the weekly shop. Certain things have to come from other places – we can’t neglect the brilliant butcher at the top of the road or the new baker in town. But over the last few weeks he’s come home without some of the items, curious omissions like tabbouleh, taramasalata and even unsalted butter. Only yesterday I was in the local Co-op where there happened to be plenty of u/s butter, so I bought some, but there wasn’t any milk. Just don’t mention large boxes of PG Tips, the small boxes aren’t any good to us, we drink lots of tea every day. What’s happening? Are you having problems too?
