What experiences are Scottish consumers currently having when shopping for food items? Between March 16 and 27, 2022, approximately 37 percent of responding Scottish shoppers were confronted with less variety in stores. A larger share of respondents in Scotland were faced with less variety than respondents from the rest of Britain.
A share of 11 percent of responding consumers were unable to find replacement items for unavailable products. Less than a third of Scottish consumers have been spared these experiences and stated that they were not faced with any of the scenarios posted in the survey. Half a month later the share of people not experiencing any of the stated scenarios had grown by ten percent. More respondents (+6%) stated they needed to go to more shops to get what they normally buy.
