CHICAGO/LISBON—When rumors first began to circulate that the UK would go back into lockdown, Leanne Barnes despaired as bread and toilet roll flew off the shelves again at her local supermarket. But to her surprise, shelves were back to being fully stocked within a few days.
Barnes stocked her pantry last time around with a few additional comfort foods—macaroni cheese, ravioli, soup, and spaghetti. But as of last week, she said she felt no urge to stockpile goods.
