I had to panic buy bloody capri suns today because my youngest has decided, with perfect timing, that she will ONLY drink capri sun! As luck would have it Tesco had 40 for £6.50 in their "bulk buy" section :facepalm:

Supermarkets are having their normal deliveries, there are no shortages of anything... Besides greedy bastards.

Look at the countries that have the most amount of cases and deaths, not one person died because they never had enough food.

Humans need bar codes on their heads so they can be tracked and allocated the right amount because they can’t be trusted.

Went to the Pet shop at lunchtime to get cat food, there was a lot of people around but people were being mindful of keeping their distances from each other

smudgie 24-03-2020 01:30 PM

Asda delivery arrived, only one item missing.
The 3 items only must be working.

I went to get a big 15kg bag for Rosie and the vicious stockpilers had attacked the shelf, leaving just one large bag of her brand with a tear in it :fist:. But I got 20% discount on it so that was nice.

Oh no really? (but at least you got a bargain) The actual Pet Shop itself was very quiet, just one guy in there buying goldfish :laugh: and plenty on the shelves. It was in a Shopping park though and there was a good few people around. I got some Easter eggs as well in Dealz (they had plenty of loo roll too :p ) and they were well stocked as well

Vanessa 24-03-2020 03:48 PM

Was supposed to go food shopping today. But I don't feel like going out. I'll go on Thursday. I don't need much anyway.

Denver 24-03-2020 03:50 PM

Had tonight to town as needed essentials and it was like a ghost town and the shelves were actually full bar toilet roll and sanitizer

Josy 24-03-2020 04:30 PM

Got everything we needed today even toilet roll and bread
