Stock piling , panic buying.

I can't understand why it's always bog rolls people rush out and stockpile whenever there is some sort of crisis.

Maybe people like to binge *** at these times.

My youngest daughter has Crohn’s disease, and sometimes she can go through 2 rolls in a day she has so much falling out her ass.....
 
Went to Costco yesterday, they were announcing at the door that there was no loo roll. Equally, there was no kitchen paper, very few tissues, and no pasta. They did have hand wash though, and a truck load of TV's.

Well that's annoying I'm going later for a Costco run wanted 2 lots of loo roll (as normal) can't even get online by looks

Oh well

I did buy 10 packs of anti bacterial surface wipes for £5

Going to give them out at work so everyone can clean their desks and phones
 
Mental out there

Costco said no loo roll, 3 water crates each

Queues down every Aile to the back..

I walked out sod that

Went Tesco for some bits for home and work tuck shop

No beans full stop

Little rice

No pasta

One pack of loo roll each

Got to work the boss is very happy with me. They ordered anti bacterial wipes but everything is obvs delayed so My 10 packs one for each desk and a spare for me incase someone nicks em was very popular with everyone

My phone, radio, mouse , touch phone all cleaned .. desk wiped down

Hands washed after

Every little helps I guess

Went to the supermarket today and there was a disappointing lack of panic buying. Yes some shelves were a bit barer than usual but you could get anything you needed. May be it will get worse once the government announces we are in def con 2 mode or whatever the next stage is. Or that folk round here are a bit less panicky/selfish/stupid.
 
No loo rolls, no pasta still.
But, weirdly, plenty of pasta sauces......
Makes you wonder what these hoarders are going to put on their pasta...unless, as I suggested earlier, we are switching to a durum wheat based economy...
My wife actually eats pasta completely plain with no sauce on occasions. Yes, she is a lunatic.

I quite like spag or linguine with just olive oil, a touch of heated through garlic and chilli flakes. Garnished with parmy and chopped parsley. It's almost plain, and very store cupboard focused...

That sounds alright, she'll do it with just garlic & chilli salt and nothing else though. What I often do is make tuna mayo, mix that with pasta for a quick easy dinner. No sauce required then.
 
I was at Tesco last night during work and the shelves were fine.
Toilet rolls on bulk pallets at for the of store too.

Local coop has full shelves too. The panic buying will level off soon. Only so many bog tolls and packets of pasta everyone can have.
 
Costco manic today as posted

As was Tesco
Mrs went Tesco as I couldn't get anything

She managed to get some bits for freezer and some for home but shelves almost empty

I did online order for Sainsbury's for baby wipes for our daughter 5 packs to see us through .. first slot is weds so I'll pick up then if they can offer it
 
Did the weekly shop this evening
No pasta
No rice
No toilet paper
No soap
No kitchen spray
No milk
Hardly any tins of anything
No frozen veg

All things which we needed

This is going to get boring really quickly

Went to Tesco’s (Roneo corner) this evening, all seemed pretty normal. Maybe a little busier than usual but not too bad.
