Central France here, about an hour from Paris metro area.

Although I haven't set food in store since February, I've used the drive-in order service many times now. Usually about 10-30% of what I order is missing.

It can be anything from scrub brushes to boxed wine, to cheese, to vegetables. They pretty much just give you what they want and are mostly honest about it.

However in stores there are shortages. I've been speaking with a lot of friends here that have still continued to go into stores.

TP, eggs, flour, pasta, many fresh fruits and vegetables have been the first to go. Hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol also very hard to get.

Certain imported fruits are now become more difficult to get: oranges, bananas, kiwis, etc.

Most of the foods produced in France seem to be doing okay. That's namely dairy products, wine and spirits, vegetables, potatoes, etc. Also you can source things locally, it's pretty easy outside of the city.

No shortages of coffee, tea or chocolate.

So it's not all doom and gloom, but certain things that we are used to getting easily become harder to find.

Of course having a garden or chicken coop at this time is a big plus. A lot of people in the area have been "too lazy" for the last few years, "not worth the time and effort" they said.
