Hi everyone as your all aware of the utter chaos right now especially when it comes to groceries. Im becoming increasingly stressed trying to find things my pop will eat.
I brought all the wrong things today but that's all there was on the shelves so it was better then nothing.
Any reccomendations on what to do?
***He doesnt eat wholemeal or multigrain breads. It has to be white regular sliced bread.
***He doesnt eat vegies or many fruits
*****The teabags i brought were wrong. He only has the teabags without the string and only in tetley brand.
****Brought the wrong milk. I brought skim milk for me and then full cream in the fresh stuff but thats wrong. He only drinks coles brand full cream uht milk
****He chose spaghetti for dinner but guess what he disnt eat it because i didnt put a tin of tomatos in it (wasnt any) and the pasta wasnt 'spaghetti' it was spiral pasta. Which i was lucky to even get one packet.
**he only eats certain tinned foods lie certain soups and spams which are barely avaliable now.
***doesnt like anything spicey, doesnt like alot of herbs (unless he cant see them)
**doesnt eat any form of pork
**doesnt eat chicken
**doesnt like steaks
**doesnt like microwave meals
**doesnt likw frozen fish so rules out like fish fingers etc
**doesnt like any sorts of rice or any pasta (besides spaghetti and only with the tinned meat/sauce combination)
I dont know what else to do and right now i just find whatever i can to make meals up.
Any suggestions?

Oh dear @outlander I really feel for you on this. I'll give it some thought and see what I can come up with. Have you heard about woollies having an online form you can fill out for continued online ordering and home deliveries? I am sure you would qualify. Might be worth trying that. I'll get back to you when I think of some suggestions. Just a bit stumped atm. Sending love xoxo

@outlander yes it is a nightmare .... can you go to chemist and buy a couple of tins of sustegan? at least if he would drink that mixed with milk he would be getting his vitamins. I bought some the other day ..... probably all gone now but worth a look.

Aaarrrrgghhh ... Give up. 😱@outlander I dunno, maybe suggest he come with you to do the shopping? Let him choose what he will eat and make him aware of just how hard it is to buy supplies right now. Make him aware of the empty shelves, and that its not just you being a bad shopper and buying things he doesnt like.
Wirh all the things he wont eat .. I have to ask .. what would a typical meal be for him?

Wondering if you can get a dietician or even social worker involved? @outlander
