On lockdown, self isolating or social distancing? All this means you’re going to have a lot of time on your hands. Yes… you could be productive, but let’s face it, we only have so much motivation.

Here are the results!

If you’re someone who has no idea where to start with a Corona Virus 14 day pantry plan, and doesn’t want to be the woman I saw today buying 20 boxes of Sultana Bran, then I’ve put together a plan and a shopping list for you, as well as some good online shops you can order from.
