'Nice' email from our supermarket saying that as an 'over 70' we can now get priority deliveries - web site No slots for future 3 weeks !!
Stock piling , panic buying.

I do find myself wondering about why people buy some things, but not others. Literally no fresh chicken in Waitrose, but all other meats just fine.
Loads of fresh bread, but no flour.
Loads of fresh milk, but no eggs
I'm sure it makes sense, but I reckon there'll be a load of stuff in the bin shortly, which is sad.

Went to Waitrose after work. No eggs, bread, flour, milk, fresh meat or much in the way of vegetables.

Maybe it was because people were buying extra to donate to their local trust?

Homer. You posted that your wife shopped early yesterday with your NHS pass and the supermarket was well stocked. Why are you shopping again today?

Thanks for the heads up, just filled both cars and every Jerry can I could find ?
Is that allowed, isn’t it a named photo card, my wife’s was, I doubt I could’ve used it ?

Put petrol in car at Tesco this morning on the way to work during the old people's shop hour. There weren't too many cars in the car park so I thought I'd pop in and see what I could get. No there wasnt full shelves but I got milk, bread, pasta and rice etc that'll last a few days, but the point of the post was just how pleasant everyone was, no pushing or shoving, no nastiness and the checkout (young) lady was lovely.

Couple across the road self-isolating and can't get online delivery slot. Trying to be a good neighbour but hey gives the trolls some fun

its great you're able to help when they asked. The lesson for us all maybe is to be a bit more proactive and just not wait to help until asked

Glad we did it just in time. Couldn't get them too much but hopefully they'll have some stuff to help. We've donated a 4 pint of milk this morning as we've more chance of getting it replenished

We hopped down to the shop after Boris' speech hoping to pick up a couple of essentials. No bread, eggs etc, ended up spending about 60 quid on cereal, biscuits, crisps and alcohol. Oh well, we tried.

We actually needed bread and left without any because they had none. What's your problem?

I’d ignore him, have a look at his posts in the “I played today” thread, he’s obviously bored or trolling to amuse himself.

Very bored, I'll concede that.

Just like every one else who is clearing the shelves eh
Absolutely not, we are running short of a number of staple items and we have made no effort to stockpile over the past couple of weeks. We had a delivery by Tesco of our usual weekly order but only about 25% of our order was delivered so I tried to buy the items we didn't get - hardly "like everyone else" !
