Stock piling , panic buying.

What a good use of the Guardian. Will the online version do?

Difficult to fold to make another pass......

We popped into aldi near our caravan in Maidstone about 3pm yesterday and there wasn’t much left.

Luckily the caravan is well stocked with essentials, although we need to restock beer and wine.

we’ve got 12 camping bog rolls in the cupboards that we might take home with us.

Anyone know where Hovis is based? (The forumer ,not the bread product) in case I can help.

I have a fairly full freezer but that's usual for me in winter ever since we got snowed in for 10 days a few years ago. 80% of it is home made batch cooked meals, I always keep a couple of loaves and pints of milk frozen too.
The only shopping I've done in the last few weeks is usual day to day requirements . But empty shelves mean weird combinations rather than what I planned to cook.
I did buy loo rolls but we only had 2 left in the house at that point.

Just north of Birmingham I think

I'm based in Lichfield. I'm very touched by the offers of support out there. thank you very much. last night the local hospital called us and the police. they said they've been overwhelmed with donations. when we turned up it was staggering to see how generous the public have been. I managed to get some fresh bread, pasta and the holy grail that was a pack of 9 toilet rolls.
ITS PARTY TIME.

So funny. The egg guy has said he'll bring a dozen if they've laid some more Get working chooks!

A little old lady went to buy cat food. She picked up three cans, but was told by the cashier:
"I'm sorry, but we can't sell this to you without proof you have a cat. Too many seniors are buying cat food to eat. Management wants proof that you are buying this for your cat."
So the lady went home, brought in her cat and was sold the cat food.
The next day, she comes in and tries to buy two cans of dog food and was again told she couldn't buy them without proof.
So the lady went home, brought in her dog and was sold the dog food...
One day later, she brought in a box with a hole in the lid and asked the cashier to stick her finger in the hole. The cashier said:
"No, you might have a snake in there."
The lady assured her that there was nothing in the box that would harm her. So the cashier put her finger into the box, quickly pulled it out and screamed:
"That smells like crap”
The lady replied:
"It is... I want to buy two rolls of toilet paper please."

Hopefully a joke, still

I had a 24 pk of andrex bog roll in the trolley this morning from a big stack.... put it back and got the usual 12 pk instead (it seemed nuts to get more than we needed)


(damit... I forgot nuts!)

 

[patricks148]

my birthday this weekend so where due to go for a meal tonight but cancelled Obv... nothing for Dinner, so out shooting this afternoon, so either Rabbit or Pigeon.... or shot gun cartridges for dinner tonight

There's £1 billion MORE groceries in our houses than normally purchased in the last 3 weeks....
No wonder why theres nothing on the shelves.....

 

[stefanovic]

Next up will be looting and the black market.
They're even running out of guns in the US.

But...

 

[Robster59]

Toilet paper problem solved!

Predictably the alcohol shelves are now empty.
As you mentioned before, keeping distance is nigh on impossible.
If I didn't need to go to a shop again in the next few months that would be fine by me. Would need the delivery service ti become functional again though.

 

[Imurg]

Just popped into argos to pick something up...all staff standing behind the counter..all,less than a metre apart....
Stopped in at Tesco and it was still like a warzone but I managed to pick up a few things...
Nobody likes steak it would seem....
Little sign of a 2 metre gap anywhere....

Very nice egg man just delivered a dozen to us and a few others in the village. All proceeds back to the hens care. I'll try and buy from him from now on.

 

[USER1999]

Waitrose was fine this morning. Very polite, everyone being nice, and stocks of most stuff. No one buying silly amounts, no arguing, all was fine. No toilet paper though. Luckily I don't need to buy that, have got sufficient that was bought ages ago.

Can't beat fresh eggs. I miss our chickens Oh, and don't store them in the fridge. They will keep on the side for four weeks at room temperature. Providing you don't eat them all up of course.
