Got a feeling it could be mainly USA for March

Nice graphic. It is slightly misleading though. A 326% increase in the purchase of fruit cups is probably going to be less $ value than the 64% decrease in camera sales.

But my main question would be: why have dog food sales gone up so much? Surely you don't need to feed your dog more because it's at home all day?

Bulk buying?

It's a graphic for "e-commerce" so I'd assume it means more people buying online as opposed to local shops.

Because a lot of the people that were bulk buying also have dogs....

As others have said, bulk buying (we were struggling to get cat food initially) but as the dogs are probably getting more exercise now than they ever have before, they're hungry and eating more. ;)
 
It was a nightmare getting dog food in the first few weeks, fortunately things have settled down now.
 
I'd like to see what the pricing is like on these items too.
On the same day that gyms closed, I ordered a set of heavy duty exercise bands, as I can do most exercises with those as opposed to a few weights that I don't have room for.
The cheapest set of bands was £40, yet they used to sell for around £20. Even looking at weights they appear expensive. I was going to make a pair of dumbbells, I had seen someone made had a set using brake discs (I have 4 old used ones in the shed) but the only dumbell bars with collets that I could find were stupid money.
