Stock piling , panic buying.

[Old Skier]

HID reports no tomato purée in stock at Tesco, not being a) a shopper & b) a chef, I don't understand why it's proving so popular.

Just been in my local "corner shop" to buy a bottle of wine & some poppadoms. Noticed they had bog roll & pasta aplenty.

Sainsbury's Braehead had everything in plenty supply tonight.

Been in a couple of shops today. Got the varnish, woodstain and polyfilla needed. Shelves were stripped of toilet rolls, tomatoes, rice, pasta and most tinned goods.

Glad we did a bit of extra shopping. State of emergency declared, from midnight tonight. Essential travel only. €60,000 fine and car confiscated if your journey isn't essential

We got to the shops to get the essentials before shelves emptied out and lockdown happens, got everything needed, phew. Loo rolls, mouthwash, pills, eye make up, nail varnish, blusher, nurse uniform, policeman uniform, stockings, a board game and plenty of cider for hydration to help keeping things going.

That's the first 2 minutes of each morning taken care off and the board game Risk for the rest of the day

Popped into aldi on the way to the caravan and it wasn’t too bad.

We got the essentials we needed so happy days

 

[Imurg]

Fully expecting mostly empty shelves tomorrow morning....

Local Tesco is out of a lot of stuff right now.

It’s beginning to feel a bit like Christmas.....
fighting over car parking spaces, jumping queues and being impatient with one another.

If you're upset about people hoarding toilet paper...wait until you hear about a tiny percentage of rich people hoarding most of the the world's wealth.

[Deleted member 21784]

Wife did a little black market trading lol

Got paracetamol for my mum

The hand wash she got for her friend they swapped at door for some pasta she picked up

I went Sainsbury's after work. Had pretty much nothing but did manage to get 3 packs spaghetti (they had some boxes of it left) and one pack of penne

We do like spag bol

No beans

Having a young child who loves going outside and having picnics means we generally have a good supply of hand sanitisers around.

Not noticed any panic buying or shortages in my local shops, we generally buy for the week ahead with a mix of frozen and fresh ingredients and meals.

Others have noticed shortages and we have had to share our supply of hand sanitiser with friends and family as they couldn’t get hold of their own!

Mr Laithwaite delivered this morning.... usual.... I got fuel in Tesco outside Winchester in way back from work....was going to go into store to get some stuff and thought...Wife shopped yesterday as normal......nuts to it, we don't need anything. Saw plenty of folk with armfulls of loo roll though!

If there isn't a shortage of food, why are people over buying food ?
