The current decision of the federal government is to significantly tighten the Corona restrictions again from November 2nd. Restaurants and beauty salons must close, and hotels may only accommodate guests on business trips. We will probably have to cancel our ski vacation with friends in Oberwössen in December.

For us, the announced lockdown was not a reason for panic buying, as we already have well-stocked supplies in the basement. We used the current news situation to update our inventory in the app and to sort out expiring food items.

Empty shelves in the supermarket again due to panic buying. Unthinkable just a year ago!

If we needed toilet paper now, we would have to visit several supermarkets, as many have started hoarding again. But seriously - even if we ran out of toilet paper, we would know how to manage, right?

The toilet paper in the supermarket is scarce again … we stay relaxed!

As a small family, we hope that we won’t have to go into quarantine. We won’t run out of groceries immediately, but the significant reduction in social contacts has taken its toll on us - the restrictions on going out during March and April have remained clearly in our memory. Our 2.5-year-old daughter has to bring a negative Corona test for attending daycare even with a mild cold. Given the current situation, we fear we might not be able to spend Christmas with our family.

Keep track of supplies, groceries and durable products before small price increases turn into unnecessary extra costs.
