Shopping for food has become much more difficult since Britain was put into lockdown in a bid to slow down the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Often, there is little left on the supermarket shelves and people are being advised to shop only as often as they absolutely have to.
Long queues have formed outside supermarkets as retailers ensure shoppers are abiding by the social distancing rules to keep at least six feet from other people at all times.
In a bid to ease the problems their customers are facing, several supermarket chains have put together essential food boxes for delivery.
Luckily, a number of supermarkets have put together essential food boxes to help us.
Morrisons is one retailer selling a food box costing £30 plus £5 delivery, and Essex Live reporter Alice Cunningham was one of the lucky people who managed to get her hands on one.
After falling ill with a horrible headache and breathing difficulties, Alice had to self-isolate with her partner.
And while Alice was impressed with her Meat Eaters Food Box, which costs £35, there was one key item missing - fruit.
Morrisons says: "Our boxes contain a selection of items based on our current availability of products, therefore we are unable to specify exact contents of each box.
"You will however receive a variety of different foods in each box. Typically this box should feed 2 adults for one week."
The website said the box would include things like bread, rice, pasta, vegetables, meat products, dairy products and canned goods - all the necessities.
She said: "I was surprised to see that I was actually able to get the box delivered the very next day. I was really expecting to have to wait at least a week for it".
Once the box arrived, she ripped it open and was overjoyed to see toilet roll, bread and kitchen roll - so far so good.
But, as she started pulling things out of the box she noticed a few items were damaged.
The tin of baked beans had been severely dented, but hadn't broken and the bag of baby potatoes had split open so when she pulled it out of the box they all came flying out.
But Alice was impressed. She said: "I was amazed at exactly how much was inside".
She then came across a white woolen package which had been wrapped in plastic - to separate the chilled and non-chilled food - which was full of the meat and dairy products and an ice bag.
Alice said: "I was really impressed with the Morrisons food box.
"Overall I really think you got a lot included in the box and in fact, I think it will probably last me and my partner longer than a week.
"In terms of price, I also think it is worth the £35. You're paying for a lot of food as well as the delivery so it's probably not too far off what you would pay in store anyway.
"If I was struggling to go out due to being busy with work or I had to self-isolate for another two-weeks due to getting ill, I would definitely consider getting another food box."
But, Alice's only criticism was that there was no fruit in the box.
She said: "The only criticism I have is that the box didn't include any fruit. While I understand it may not be practical to do so as the fruit could get damaged and ruined, my partner pointed out that they included vegetables in the box like cucumber which can be damaged easily.
"It just would have been nice to have some apples or even oranges to help us stay healthy during the lockdown. "
She also says it's important to note that if you order the same box as Alice, it may not have exactly the same products in.
There were a number of other boxes to choose from including, one with meat, a vegetarian one, a Market Kitchen Square Meals box, a Market Kitchen Meal Maker box and a family meat box.
