What are you panic buying?

I used to throw a few extra cans of food into the trolley during the shutdown and built up a bit of a stock which is still there. It is fine for emergencies though.
 
Can you get Bishops Finger direct from Kent? Fucking starting to panic now if there is a shortage of my favourite tipple Westons vintage. I like a Bishops Finger & agree at £1.20 a pop it is good value.
 
Just returned from Sainsbury's and there were a good few gaps in the shelving. Only things on my mental list I couldn't get were wild bird seed (poor birds :( ) & Henry Westons vintage (poor me) & singapore style noodles. Can live without them. Got the last two bottles of Thatchers Vintage & the last bottle of Jimmy Red Roo for me Mum.
Went for a couple of the last few Bishop's Finger which was rapidly running out.
A lot of the beers & ciders were low & I can see people bulk buying when they come back in.

Well at £1.20 for a decent 5.4% ale I am sure some peeps were trying it for the first time cos it is about 60p cheaper than others & it tastes lovely. Get in there quick. :thumbs:

Bastards; don't they care that a fair proportion of my nutrition is gained from 'the delight'?

I think it was anti maskers. That must have been the middle of last week. Terrible. Hope spiderman gets the book thrown at him. What a cunt.

Some of the quotes were shocking. Perhaps it was reformed anti maskers panic buying masks
 
I have been normal-buying nitrile gloves on ebay since before the pandemic, for DIY, gardening etc. In Jan 2020 it was £5.99 per box of 100, now £18.99. I think people are continuing to panic-buy them.

Great swathes of nothingness in smaller Sainsburys. Tried to do my shop there to avoid going further afield as I CBA with proper food shopping right now but ended up at my usual cos it was just lots of empty space, particularly in meat and fruit & veg.

Nitrile is a synthetic rubber. I have a selection of gloves for DIY and gardening. And rubber ones for changing nappies. And impromptu prostate exams.

Yes I know, but the term "rubber gloves" refers to a specific subset of gloves and not to all gloves made from anything that might be termed rubber. It's great that you have a variety of gloves for different purposes, so do I!
 
Lots of empty shelves in a Sainsbury's superstore yesterday. I am told there were also empty shelves in Marks and they have stopped baking bread.
 
As someone that had to deal with panic buying in the first lockdown i fucking hope people will try to be sensible 🤔 we actually had a couple of near fights over toilet roll and hand sanitiser/soap...having to police people's trollies and explain that we should try to think of others was a real grind....so far it hasn't really happened yet....but the media whipping things up doesn't help...
 
I’m on holiday for three weeks from Saturday, so have been running down food stocks ahead of going. There had better still be food here when I return.
