    Eat toilet paper - that seems to be still in plentiful supply

    In Fusion today there were plenty of organic vegetables brought in by air freight, but very few cheaper vegetables.

    Local newspapers are hinting that the issues are resolved and about 1/3 of the trucks scheduled for today have been sent through. Expect to see normalcy in a day or two.

    Crisis averted.. no need to classify ketchup as a vegetable.

    Or is it cheaper than a wet market?

    Roommate confirms father and brother sent home with empty trucks yesterday, not sure what they have gotten up to today.

    Bought Choi Sum yesterday in the wetmarket for $20/gan - excellent quality. Normal price is more like 9-12. Gai Choi was $10 - normal is $8
    It's not that bad.
