What are you panic buying?

[Mr.Bishie]

Stick to pasties then, & leave tinned foods for those that need them. Fucking Devonions!

 

[BlanketAddict]

There was plenty of weed around in Bristol this weekend just gone, maybe not in Sainsbury's, etc.., though!

Panic buying no issue on that one there, for now

gets in car, points it towards the M5

They're coming back as I saw today. Obviously people only have so much space in their freezers.

I heard anecdotally that a local supplier has had a run on chest freezers.

What do you do when the freezer's full? Buy another freezer!

It'd be funny if well, you know...

Just scored 2kg of rice from Lidl. Of the 10kg they had left. First rice in two weeks.

Spoke to the till worker in Tesco and asked her if it was people clearing them out at 7am or if it was supply issues. She said both. And then said 'you should see it here at 7am'.

No eggs, pasta etc.

Three cases of ale from the local brewery ordered and on their way.

There will be a glut of nearly new freezers on Ebay early next year

I hope so, my fridge has been knackered for ages, could do with a barely used second hand one!

 

[donkyboy]

ordered a box of 100 disposable gloves on ebay. fed up of going to supermarket and picking up shopping baskets that god knows how many people have touched.

 

[sojourner]

Vegetables, this morning. Shops round here have been absolutely decimated and our diet was starting to look a bit poor, so I went in late to work, and stocked up on veggies instead. Two big bags of them which will be turned into various soups and stews over the next few days.

 

[danny la rouge]

Just had our Tesco delivery. A day early. The woman was very cheerful, through the door. A few changes but not too bad.

• 3 small carrots instead of 500g
• 3 small bananas, instead of 5.
• 6 medium eggs instead of 12 large.
• only one bottle of Sambuca.

 

[Badgers]

Picked up some Gram Flour (loads of it in the shop) to experiment with when I did some shopping for neighbour.

Also wine
Also garlic infused olive oil

#dailyapocalypsewalk

Know we are locked down but I decided to combine my one allotted exercise with my one allotted walk to the shop.

Asda (here) are limiting to 20 customers in the shop.
Queued outside for 15ish minutes and used their 3m distancing markers

There was a really nasty couple getting angry at the staff for limiting them to 'only' 3x 4pts of milk the poor manager was really upset so I (have a go hero) went over to have a word. Thankfully a much bigger (I am well hard btw) bloke than me got there first and diffused the situation. I stood behind him saying stuff like 'yeah' and 'here here you rotter' as my contribution #hero

Stocks were not bad overall
No pasta or baked beans but got self raising flour, bread and milk
Meat uncooked/cooked stocks were about 50%
Veg, fruit and salad shelves were almost 100%

This is the first 'proper shop' I have done for a couple of weeks and don't plan to go again for a while. Did some wine, rum and tobacco stockpiling Plus got a cheap gammon joint, bacon, dozen eggs, cheese, very green bananas and such so am well set up for the foreseeable.

We're still without freezer, been quite difficult to nail one down online. We've resorted to our 50ltr Coleman Xtreme.

 

[two sheds]

Hadn't expected my Aldi emergency alcohol delivery to come through given present circumstances but it's apparently out for delivery and with me soon.

 

[weltweit]

I am in two minds about my village shop. They are doing really well keeping their shelves stocked and are rationing things like bog roll to one per person which is good, but the shop is so small it is impossible to maintain distance from other punters and staff. So much more convenient than the local large Morrisons though.

Could you give them a list for them to pull together for you? My local shop is great, they've delivered over the last couple of years because I don't have a car.

I needed lager & knew the two big supermarkets this side of town were sold out, so went foraging around the neighbourhood small shops, because of lack of stock or restrictions on number of items, I had to do a loop around, but after 3 shops, I managed to forage enough for a week.

Got some strange looks, as I had a scarf covering most of my face.

 

[two sheds]

you don't have a balaclava then?

 

[cupid_stunt]

Nope, got a rubber mask, but that has a hole for the mouth, so doesn't seem appropriate under the circumstances.

Might be an idea but I feel hale and hearty so it seems unfair to put them to more work.

Who needs a car when you have two sheds?

they used to put the delivery in one of the sheds

 

[weltweit]

I almost had two sheds once, I had a double garage but double lengthwise. It was really great to have all that space for motorbikes bicycles, tools and that. Mind you that place was probably the best I have had so far.

 

[Looby]

Still can’t get through to sainsburys. The unavailable items on Friday’s Tesco delivery is growing. Morrison’s have nothing in our area.
Just had a look at the Ocado situation.

 

[Poot]

I went to Morrisons, which closes at 10pm for my weekly shop (I am limiting it to once a week to be responsible). Except they closed early so it was a 5 minute supermarket sweep around almost empty shelves.

I have bought some very strange things.

 

[Miss-Shelf]

I went out this evening to avoid a crush and I realise it's the early bird who gets the worm etc but still no red lentils in Thornton heath and now no ginger. Plenty of lemons and limes though.

Able to get most things including semolina (to make own pasta) and chocolate soya milk to make a vegan baileys when spiced rum is added. No sambuca

Did a sweep round Tesco. Marginally less bare than the last 3 visits. Nothing in freezer except brussel sprouts and Yorkshire puds

 

[DotCommunist]

local nisa has been flourless for a week and Ma has been asking me to find some. I had a look at their dried goods 'tramps buffet' bit and hidden at the back were two bags of polish branded flour, get in.
I mentioned that there was yorkshire pudding mix on the shelf and got sent back to buy that as well 'its dried egg and flour J, I can make bread from that'.
But what will it taste like?

 

[Saul Goodman]

Surely the best way is 70% IPA and 30% water and then put hand cream on afterwards.

I reckon 99.9% IPA with 30% water added would be as effective...

 

[Badgers]

#dailyapocalypsewalk

Got a few essentials from Asda which was well stocked and with limited number of people allowed in it was mostly fine.
Only pain in the arse were the staff who were not distancing at all and chatting in groups big enough to block aisles

Jar of hot-dogs
Bottle of Henderson's Relish
4 cans of Asda baked beans
Bag of spinach
Cream cheese
Box of wine
Pack of smokes
Lottery ticket
Ham

Should see me through to the weekend

 

[Saul Goodman]

4 cans of Asda baked beans

Your breakfast scores are going to suffer for that.
