The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[remember arthur mann]

Still have it regularly on tinned pears....non in today, nor tinned peaches. I'm beside myself I really am.

Sundays we alternated between pears and peaches topped with carnation, pears my fave, shared between 7 of us !

Sent the missus out earlier to get some bits she came back with one bag of uncle Joe's mint balls ffs.

Should of seen my mrs' face when I came home with vodka and pringles

Putting a hole in each side of the lid to pour it on my chopped bananas. Those were the days

Yep - that is exactly how I remember it

Just back from a sainsburys that looked like something out of the Soviet era. It's getting to the point now where we realistically need the virus to cull the panic buyers just so it's possible to get potatoes and bog roll.

They’re only £2 in Home Bargains

I remember working at Asda when I was studying and it was shut Sunday AND Monday. Only 1988 so not that long ago!!

How people would cope with that nowadays is beyond me.

Used to have that after every Sunday dinner, loved it. We had Angel Delight last week, can't believe we've not had more often, definitely going back on the regular shopping list, but only the strawberry flavoured one...

Yep if you only put a hole in one side it didn't pour as well...

 

[yeseye]

This is ramping up now. Asda has loads of bare shelves earlier

I’m surprised the zombies haven’t ate them!

Cheaper than that in Co op must be a smaller bag think they were £1.20

What's the situation in England with the alcohol supplies in supermarkets? So far in Holland there isn't a rush on, but I think that is one thing I am going to monitor very closely!

I did the normal weekly shop this morning. I didnt buy anything in bulk. Bogg roll and a few other things were sold out.

Just watched some scenes at a French supermarket on the news. It made a 6-Nations scrum look like a vicar's tea party for its inbuilt gentility.

If you have to use Tesco home delivery check first that they have a slot in the next three weeks up to 6 April. Possibly even longer. Do not waste your time doing the shopping list first. Why do they not have a big fucking sign that says "fully booked' or something?
At least l had a laugh seeing what they had no stock left which shows what the panic buyers idiots deem important.

You're a **** if you are.
