The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I make my own pasta but all that flour has gone as well. You are quite right as well. Lovely stuff.

There has been no eggs or flour in my local supermarket for about a week now.

Looks like the panic buyers new craze is buying barbell and dumbell sets. I'm struggling to find any.

@Ric can we change the title of this thread? There is no shortage!

I know its petty but it annoys me every time I see it, there is no shortage and no reason to panic buy.

No worries, that’s done now ;)

There might be a reason why there's a shortage but there's still a shortage, Tescos this morning had 5 tins of Tuna and we were the first ones in the shop. There was no pasta at all, one pallet of bog roll no milk and the bread didn't exist. So there is a shortage of many items, and it looks like it's getting worse.

Pretty much anybody who has a Costco card lives this way by default!

I shot an elk last year and three deer, that takes up quite a bit of room

I wish the PM would just say "stop fucking panic buying".

Ignorant bastards

Went panic buying last night but not much about so didn't really buy anything besides a bottle of milk and a packet of bacon. Meant to panic buy last weekend but couldn't be arsed so I'll probably panic buy again next week one night after work.

How much freezer space do people have with all the bread, milk, meat, veg, burgers, sausages and frozen chips they've stripped from the supermarket shelves?

Next you'll be telling me Curry's have sold out of Chest freezers.

;-)

look on line there are no freezers in stock

its madness

We are an embarrassment. Selfish and narcissistic. My Dad was evacuated and they were not like this.
