What will you be stockpiling?

[Pippedydeadeye]

That’s just stupid behaviour on their part. I’m with you now, B’Jude.

[smalex]

Like in march though, is it really people buying trolley loads of pasta or is it that a lot of people are buying a few extra bits to prepare themselves because the situation seems less stable again (which isn't unreasonable) ?

[Mountain Goat]

I am pretty sure we had exactly the same chat back in March.

[Flora Poste]

I do actually need loo roll this week, but am I just going to look like I'm stockpiling?

[Livilla]

I was worried about that too, Flora Because I get groceries delivered I get a pack of 24 loo rolls every few months, which means I don't need to buy them very often. We are running out, so I added them to the order due this week, then worried about how it would look!

(I also bought two packets of gluten-free spaghetti and four cans of black beans. That was definitely stockpiling! )

I definitely saw people with trollies loaded with loo roll here.

I also didn’t buy any initially as we had some (we buy an enormo pack at costco) and I didn’t want to look like I was stock piling and it took weeks before I could get some again.

People are buying industrial quantities of everything. My normally sensible neighbours garages make them look like preppers.

[Mountain Goat]

I bought three cans of black beans. Are black beans the new loo roll?

[kiwi]

I thought I was ok but I've just taken out the last packet of wholewheat noodles from the Brexit/Covid emergency box!

[smalex]

With the dual delights of the pandemic and no deal brexit I wish I had a garage to prep

[Disco]

I bought six cans of black beans last week!

I'm so glad I've been preparing these last few weeks.

[kiwi]

I'm going to buy black beans now even though I've never cooked with them before. :suggestible:

[Mountain Goat]

It's the sourdough of the autumn.

[Ella77]

I don’t like black beans, what shall I buy .

Ok, cool, jelly sweets it is.

[kiwi]

I'll share that smilie between Goat and Ella.

[Little My]

I bought a 9 pack of Heinz beans today, panic/impulse purchase. I think I need to restock the pantry after letting it run down to normal levels. And you can bet your ass I'm buying extra tp, I don't care what people think after spending March and April trying to hunt the stuff down.

[Little My]

I also got a lead on some Marmite that I will be going after tomorrow because I haven't been able to buy that since March!

[Ella77]

What are you stockpiling for, Little My? Are you having another lockdown too. (This was originally a Brexit thread, but hah, things can always get worse, can’t they?)

[Blondiejude]

See your all doing it wrong. I bought just normal levels of shopping but three bottles of wine. Priorities people the pubs are shutting early

[Disco]

I got a case of wine delivered yesterday
