So if one shelf gets filled it does not mean that the others too will get stocked up. However, in order that the current situation gets back to normal, it is advisable that we patiently wait for the crisis to subside. This is actually a testing time for people to see how long they can go without going to the grocery store to purchase their favorite product.

Planning regarding the usage of available products is the only solution now.
