Products that disappeared from the shelves of most Eastern European supermarkets, food stores and pharmacies:
- sanitary alcohol (usually has blue color - in case you don't know what I mean by "sanitary alcohol")
- hand sanitizers
- face masks
- bleach
Products extremely scarce (can barely be found):
- flour (some shops claim that they were expecting shipments for 1 week)
- dried fruits (almost impossible to get)
- meat (only very few, mostly left-overs)
- single-use protective gloves
- ready-to-eat canned foods (noodles, soups, canned bean meals etc.)
- milk powder
- spaghetti
What's about to disappear (relatively scarce, but not extremely scarce):
- fish and sea fruits, octopus
- bread (I hear that the flour has disappeared even from the depots of the bread makers, so basically it's a supply chain interruption)
- gem
- berries (rarer than nuts, but can still be found)
- honey
- toilet paper
- paper tissues
- pasta (except spaghetti, which is almost gone with the first waves of hoarders)
- various cleaning products (soap, cleansing pastes, dishwasher liquids etc.)
- potatoes
- rice
- biscuits (salty ones get sold-out fast)
- cabbage
- green salads
- lentils
- instant soups (powders and pastes included)
- multiple-use protective gloves (usually comes in pairs and can be re-used if washed, but costs more than a pack of 10 single-use ones)
- salt
- packaged and sliced meats (bacon, salami etc.)
- cheese
- canned fish
- canned beans
- canned mushrooms
- canned apricots/peaches
- beer
- butter
- sugar
- protein bars and energy bars (in the first 3-4 waves, these were still being sold in abundance, but now their numbers have dwindled, some are quite rare)
What's plentiful:
- canned goods (but again, the high quality canned goods have disappeared)
- nuts
- teas (most of them being fake, full of artificial flavors and coloring substances)
- strong alcohol drinks (high concentration like: whiskey, tequila, vodka, gin etc.)
- fresh fruits
- pickles
- spices (like red paprika, pepper, chili etc. - except salt!)
- yogurt and milk
- bottled water
- canned pineapple
- shampoo
- lotions, cremes, hand cremes
- deodorants
- aftershave (which can be a substitute for sanitary alcohol, but for 5x the price!)
- sweets (chocolate, cookies, jellies, cakes etc.) and snacks (tortilla snacks, potato chips etc.)
- fake drinks (like Coke, Sprite, Schweepes etc.)
