It all started with my mother telling me that I should start using less toilet paper because we couldn’t find it in the supermarkets anymore. When she was able to find some, milk or oil started to disappear. A few months later, “supermarket hopping” to find food became a full-time job. “They are only allowing 1 milk box per person, I’m on my way to pick you up.” She would say on the phone –whenever we were lucky enough to find some. Even so, this is considered a good situation in comparison with how it is today.
