What are you panic buying?

Today I panic bought two pairs of jeans because two existing pairs chose this time to wear out.

And they wore out spectacularly, one developing shredded areas that look cool for a teenager but aren't cool for a 56 year old executive on a dress down day, and the other pair developing a split in the crotch area which could definitely look dodgy ..

So a trip to the outfitters, which was tricky because I wasn't allowed to try them on, so after returning to base to find they were too big I had to return to get the right size. All done now much to my satisfaction.

I have to go to the shop tomorrow to get cat food and something for tea and the week’s breakfasts. I am dreading that either there will be nothing in, it’ll be total chaos and everyone will be judging that what I’ve got in my basket is excessive.

The queue for a tiny little Waitrose earlier. There were also queues for barbers, but that could be normal.

I'm still on my march purchase of bog roll......

I don't understand why people are panic buying at the supermarkets. They aren't closing. Where's the logic?

I do need to get a scarf and hat for winter so will go around the charity shops in a bit, as they will definitely be closed.

I don't get it either. I would expect malls and department stores to be rammed today because it could be the last weekend day of shopping before Christmas but supermarkets being packed doesn't make sense. Apart from the run on baking goods there weren't actually any shortages.

Bathroom sealant. Can't get enough of the stuff.

We went to the big Sainsbury’s in Beckton earlier for a few bits we needed, you had to queue to get in but it wasn’t that busy and there was a nice calm inside with nobody seeming to be panic buying.

If I am slightly empathic with people...

Some people are thinking they should do ONE shop then hunker down

Part of me thinks this is okay. The issue is the only people that can do this have the funds to pay for a big shop and a big enough house to store it in. A lot of people don't have those at their disposal.

and place them on bin in 2 weeks at are full of gone off food as pass

To be fair, we sort of did the same in Turkey at first, but there people don't trust the government at all (The first weekend curfew was called with two hours notice, which caused predictable chaos at every shop.)

I suppose if you have a car and a big freezer, shopping for a month isn't a bad idea. I have a bike and a tiny section of an already small freezer. I am planning to do plenty of "cupboard cooking", using up stuff I already have. Cue lots of lentil and chickpea curries

Just popping to the local Tescos to get one or two essential items only.

Taking a baseball bat just in case like.

Chocolate buttons? Chocolate buttons are running out? Fuck.

I don’t eat them really, but I’d hate to not be able to. I’d better stock up!!!

I know, I'm the same with democracy, rarely use it myself, but I'd miss it when it's gone.

Oh, just realised I've replied to a time travelling Marty McFly danny la rouge circa March 2020.

Western democracy: it would be a good idea.

Only slightly busier than normal tbh. Plently of everything on the shelves however there was some poor elderly woman passed out at the entrance. She looked in a really bad way.

Every time I go out I seem to see something really sad lately, last night a woman on a wheel chair picking up cigarette butts from the pavement

I need to stay home more often, yay lockdown.

Just remember when democracy hung by a chad?

In other news I did impulse buy a massive scented candle and some Ginko. I don't know what I was thinking at the time.

A little, but if you keep doing that, nobody will notice the difference. (And it’ll do Roll Over Beethoven too).
