I was there last weekend and they seemed to have plenty of stock,depending of course whet you are looking for?

There is obviously some shortages fresh sausages, and meat products but I find i can buy Spanish goods for my requirements like that.

I checked Iceland in San Javier and was very disappointed on there level of stock.

Many thanks for the reply.

The stock in Iceland was the reason I posted.

I didn't want to drive to Mazarron and suffer the same problem.

We normally shop locally but there are one or two additional items we wanted.

It could very well be a Brexit problem as the rules regarding fresh meat exports from the UK changed earlier this year.

Called in Tuesday, there were a few empty shelves and areas where other products had been used to fill in the gaps. We understood that a delivery was expected and they were hoping it would be there by Friday.

I went there today. 

The shelves were definitely better than Iceland and I even got my Tesco crisps, so a happy bunny!

Cold meat, sausages, etc, were mostly Supervalu (ok for me, however not a huge selection!), but freezer section pretty full.

Even managed to get some semi skimmed Irish milk today - they also had some Easter Eggs!

Whilst waiting for checkout, announcement came over that they were expecting a 'delivery' in the next 48 hours. (not sure what was being delivered however)

I was pleased to make the journey, as got most of what I wanted.
