Stock piling , panic buying.

Cheers for the update ?

Well thanks for the thanks (I’m sure no sarcasm was intended and so nothing taken from it ?)

Point is that maybe folks are getting the message re panic buying - which is what this thread is specifically about and does indicate the truth that if we don’t panic buy then the supermarkets can get their shelves well stocked with enough for us all. And as they were quiet with all doing the 2m dance the risk of transmission is reduced.
 
Local waitrose this afternoon, just before closing. They had no bread, no milk, no veg, no pasta, ...

What they did have is dozens of tins of baked beans and lots of bacon rashers. Bought 2 of the beans, didn't buy any of the bacon.
 
Drove to an out of town farm shop, they had just about everything we needed and at a reasonable price. No queue, lovely polite people.
 
Went to our local Aldi yesterday. It was pretty well stocked.No loo roll or pasta but plenty fresh meat, fruit and veg. It was pretty quiet as well.


However the documentary on CH4 last night was a bit depressing, particularly the guy in the cash and carry who was buying what must have been 200 loo rolls. He admitted he didn't have a shop and they were just for his family. Pathetic.
 
Well, good on Morrisons.
NHS workers only from 7am till 8am.
ID needed.
Got a relatively normal shop plus a couple of extras but not much.
Bill came to about the normal weekly bill.
Security on the door checking passes - no pass, no entry until 8
And there would still have been decent levels of stock.
Still holes in the shelves but it's getting better.
Hopefully we can do that once a week and cut down on excess trips.
 
Got my ASDA delivery today (booked 11 days ago) just had the email with what will be delivered.

Items missing are salt, Alpen bars and fresh Pasta, everything else will be delivered.

Order already in for a week wednesday.

Our D-in-L was intending to make use of this opportunity this morning... She's also been advised not to wear ID outside of her workplace...
 
I just walked down to my local Londis (corner shop) to get some milk. There was one bottle left, this old timer thought he had it but luckily I was a bit quicker than him. (y)

No, seriously though there was one left but as I picked it up I noticed they'd just had a new batch in which they were about to load up the shelves with, so no problems there. I didn't check for bread or bog roll as we didn't need any. They had energy drinks and cookies though I can tell you that. :sneaky:

Yeah I could easily live on crips and biscuits if needed. Also plenty of ice cream and pizzas too.
 
Walked to local Asda (as the slightly nearer Sainsburys Local had been stripped bare). Not too busy & pretty well stocked for most stuff except for pasta (but I didnt want any anyway), no flour (so that's my bread making up the creek), and only the expensive brands of olive oil (so didnt bother). Irritatingly, they had enough milk to float a cow but no red top - so didnt bother with that either. They actually had loo roll - which seemed to be the first thing most people picked up - was quite funny watching people struggle round with a 24roll pack in one hand, basket in other and needing a third hand to to actually do anything.
