The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[grunge]

Went to Tesco yesterday and loads of shelves were mostly empty. The freezers were really bad. Unsure if panic buying or just low stock of stuff due to everything going on.

The best tip I can give for panick buying is to anticipate market forces and get in there first before the long queues. The toilet roll was a no brainer and we had enough to see us through covid, with enough left over to pan fry.

If you were ultra savy by following weather patterns, you would have already been to Costco on Broadway for their fantastic spring water deals on 40 bottle cases. If we work together we survive.

My next pick is Hot Water Bottles. Groupon have great deals on bulk buys, but act fast before the JCL's arrive.

Does paying more get you a better hot water bottle? - Which? News

We tested hot water bottles to find out which stays toasty the longest. Our favourite has just come back in stock

Amusing thought, pan frying toilet rolls!
