The PANIC BUY thread (Covid 19)

[AnnieK]

Our local Asda has no toilet roll, hand soap or sanitiser and no pasta of any sort. Its madness lol - the local quality save had a delivery of soap this morning, rationed it to 2 per customer and it was sold out by dinner time.

Try the local shops. Mine have everything. From toilet paper to hand soap

Apparently Covid 19 is eliminated by strong vocals so stream Leona Lewis- I Am on Spotify. Other streaming services are available.

I was hungry so panic bought a sandwich.

The effects have now subsided.

[Cherie]

No sanitiser in local chemist now, but local homeless guy has brains. Hes under the underpass as usual, selling sanitiser for a fiver a bottle :D Bit worried for him actually thinking about it, people are getting so hysterical I can see him being mugged for it!

Apparently you can make your own with aloe vera and alcohol, have a swig of vodka while making it :laugh:

[Twosugars]

Our corner shop is stocked but the shopkeeper said warehouses are running short. We'll see.

people are missing the point with these sanitisers. You don't need to kill the virus before it disappears down the plug hole, you simply need to wash it off your skin

Okay so there has been a significant shift in shopping habits, just went into Sainsburys to get my Friday wine

No toilet roll
No kitchen paper
No pasta
No porridge/Weetabix/shelves half stocked with other cereals
Soup/Bean/pulse aisle low stock

Some other shelves bare, not sure what was on them

Got talking to a man on the way out who had been in the restaurant, the staff had to go to another Borough to get teabags, so no tea either

I mean, it makes our forward thinking on here look like genius

Gav is going to be doing our weekly shop after work today so hopefully it won't be too manic/empty shelved in there. Glad we picked up a few bits to keep us going just in case but people do need to relax a bit with the panic buying now............fingers crossed there's some wine left :skull:

I went in Lidl today for a couple of pastries. The pasta shelf was bare, and then at the counter, there was a man who'd filled his basket up with hand sanitiser. But the woman told him he could only buy 2.

[Tom4784]

Our store's all out of toilet paper but strangely enough we've got boxes full of the toilet paper wet wipes/towelettes. I've been grabbing a packet or two here and there just in case because the panic buying will cause a massive shortage before long.

Just been shopping. There was no pasta, no toilet roll, no beans, no flour, no soap. It was mad and there were signs saying 1 per customer. Rations?! Is there a war on

The worst thing is I couldnt get baby milk it is all sold out. Which isnt good with a baby coming in the next few weeks....

Please do this :hehe:

[smudgie]

My best advice is try to shop online.
You can mooch around all the supermarkets and see who has what in at any one time.
If you buy a six pack of beans or soup etc it counts as one of your ration allowance, so bulk buying helps.

We did an online shop at Tesco but couldn't get a delivery till Monday,so it will be interesting to see if they have everything we ordered,but it was a normal food shop ,not even ordered toilet rolls or antiseptic handwash,I always have those anyway.I did notice at our local Waitrose there doesn't seem to be any shortage of things, so will go there if necessary.

[user104658]

I had a stange incident at the supermarket... toilet roll aisle EMPTY... I see a chap with a huge cage full of 32-packs of Cushelle heading down there and think "goddamnit I'll have to grab one of those because there is otherwise literally none" - but I don't want to be seen doing it so I skulk around for a bit then head back. None there! The cage and young feller are missing... nowhere to be seen... none on the shelves. Now this was relatively late at night and the shop was pretty empty, and there were TONNES of these huge packs... so they didn't get panic bought.

My theory is that he had a van outside and he's stolen them to sell on the black market :worry:

If you are stocking up because end of world is coming remember,rice is coming from China and pasta from Italy...lol

[user104658]

I think people might believe hand sanitizer is a magic potion. In reality, it's only 70% as effective as a 20p bar of soap and hot water. Soap and hot water (if you wash "properly", between the fingers etc.) is essentially 100% effective because coronaviruses have a protective lipid membrane. Soap breaks the lipid layer and the virus dies instantly. Sanitiser works similarly but isn't 100%.

Also people are obsessed with it having to be hand soap... shelves bare... but cheap washing up liquid will do exactly the same thing and have you seen a bare washing up liquid shelf?

However don't take LT's advice from another thread of using dettol spray on your hands. It'll dry and crack your skin and then you won't have to touch your face to catch something... it'll go right in through the gaps in your skin!

Being honest, at this poi t I would cautiously recommend filling a cupboard with a few staples because it's getting harder to find basics and it's going to get worse. People are clearing whole shelves of things like pasta sauce :umm2:.

Also go early in the morning. When supermarkets seem to be "out" of some things its often that they have stock but it just isn't on shelves. If you go early you have a much better chance of doing a "normal shop" before the shelves get cleared again.

...panic buying breeds panic buying breeds shortages breeds panic by its nature so it’s always a difficult thing...Mr Ammi was talking to some supermarket staff last week and they said that every day seemed to bring a different ‘panic’...it would be really interesting to understand the brain/thought links as to what ‘panic’ links to the next etc...hand washing products, does that link to going to the loo in many thought processes...oh loo roll, then...etc...

[Ammi]

...I filled up with petrol last week, I’m always quite OCD about having a full tank...(...to me, half a tank is at crises point...)...just because I’d be very restricted to get anywhere or do anything without my car...

Everytime i am out and return to the car i do the wash ritual. I also have some coconut hand cream as my hands are getting bloody dry.

Finally managed to get some baby milk formula from sainsburys yesterday. Bought two just in case as every other shop was running out!

Gonna do a shop today, Monday lunchtime shouldn't be busy. Wonder how our local supermarkets are holding up

[Crimson Dynamo]

the CEO of Aldi just emailed me to reassure me :)

[user104658]

I was in the local co-op today (which has full shelves other than paracetamol...) and all of the old folks were out, I felt really bad for them. Chatting away in little groups - none really worried about Covid but all really scared that they're going to be "forced" to stay in their houses for 4 months. Doesn't help that that's what's plastered all over the front of the newspaper stand. All saying "I'm getting out for my morning walk while I'm still allowed".

Honestly I think so much damage is being done that goes way beyond the scope of the infection itself and no one is really paying much attention.

Was down in my local shop this morning, they had everything although they were low on eggs [emoji173][emoji40]

Surely the supermarkets have to take some responsibility for people stockpiling. I mean, no pasta, eggs or toilet roll.... anywhere. Tell the stupid stockpilers that they're limited to what they can buy.

Limits are in place.
Online as well.
But you can buy 2x24 loo roll packs, maybe they need to cut it down.
Footfall is massive at the minute so more people are buying what’s on the shelves.

i ordered up a home delivery from Asda, but it was 6 days before there were any free slots. We have plenty food in, so it's no big deal, but we have never waited anything like that time on an order before :laugh:

We got emails last week telling us to put shops through the checkout for the next few weeks, you can change it up to midnight the day before.
It doesn’t get charged until it goes through the actual checkout on the day, same as Easter and xmas, sister has hers book every week for the next 5 weeks.

The UK’s largest water and wastewater service, Thames Water, is already warning customers not to “feed” so-called fatbergs – formed from a build-up of fat and non-biodegradable matter – by using kitchen towel and wet wipes as a substitute for toilet paper and flushing them down the loo. It says the only things that should be flushed are the 3Ps: poo, pee and (toilet) paper..

Good, I hope all shops adopt this policy

Went to Sainsbury’s yesterday at lunchtime and there was no veg and no meat, though Lidl was fine, I think with Sainsbury’s it a lack of staff to put produce on the shelves and poor management as they got rid of loads, Lidl staff were putting out stuff and they even had soap!

Just been on the news that people were queueing this morning even with the older people !! who are supposed to have that time for themselves,there really is no limit to some peoples greed and people queueing from 4 am !!! what the hell is that about , but everyone you meet and talk to is not agreeing with it so just who is doing this?

It's a joke now, and its not really fair to expect supermarket staff to have to put up with the inevitable abuse

They will need to rearrange how the supermarkets/food shopping is done for everyone's safety if people are carrying on like that

To be fair it did say the elderly or vulnerable which includes younger immune compromised people. The same people that are bleating about it are doing it themselves that's why.

Spoke to a guy in Tesco who pointed out a woman with a full trolley has been in every day this week at the same time filling her trolley ridiculously high.

It's pathetic.
