Default Lidl ,Aldi , Tesco, Asda & Morrisons imposing limits on some fruits and vegetables

[Asda and Morrisons imposing purchase limits
on some fruits and vegetables due
to supply challenges

The National Farmers' Union
had warned Sky News of
the risk of rationing as farmers struggled
with high energy costs.
Fruit and vegetable production was
already falling, the union said.]

[Asda is temporarily limiting the purchase
of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers,
lettuce, salad bags, broccoli,
cauliflower and raspberries to
three of each item per customer.]

Who buys 3 cucumbers at a time, or most of any other units of fruit and veg.
Hardly rationing.

I'll just buy what they have. I'm not fussy when it comes to fruit and veg.
If they don't have anything I'll get peaches in syrup and I already have frozen veg

The Lady trying to buy the 100 Cucumbers
in Lidl, runs a business making health drinks.

Metro Front page.

She was stopped by a Good Manager
and failed to buy her 100 Cucumbers.


She will have to halt her veg drinks
Could go under.
