y bien provistas despensas
It's okay to translate it as The good and full pantries?
This is from the story about The flautist of Hamelin.
Here is the full paragraph:
En la ciudad sólo quedaron sus opulentos habitantes y sus bien repletos graneros y bien provistas despensas, protegidas por sus sólidas murallas y un inmenso manto de silencio y tristeza.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

if this is covid-related and nothing to do with the fable, I would say "well-stocked drugstores"
very confusing and good luck
| Hi David, Thanks for your reply. I got it but drug stores were not mentioned in the original Spanish story? Did you read about that drug stores before? Did you read the story? |
| Thanks again David. |
