Just stopped in at our local shop, it was nice and calm and they had everything including pasta, eggs and toilet roll

We don't really know the personal circumstances of those buying, if you are a family of 4 buying for 2 sets of elderly relatives 3 tins of beans and 2 pints of milk just isn't enough is it?
The advice is to limit the amount of time you spend in supermarkets ... so is the answer not to stock up when you are there?

Stock up of course. But clearing the shelves of bread and milk every single day. Who knew people consumed that much.

lucky you, my sons Tesco extra is the same in Norwich, he thinks its because there is no parking so they have to haul it by hand

My local is overloaded with wholemeal bread but no white.

The hoarders are all unhealthy twits. Enjoy your fat arse Dierdre.

Here he is with his emoji wisdom...it's not always the same people, just in that one example it was and again we don't know the circumstances.
There have been a lot of community groups started to help the vulnerable, a neighbour may be shopping for those in the community?

I was making comment on what I've seen, nothing more. Not suggesting to be wise or all knowing.

Not sure a snipe about "wisdom" was needed but if it makes you feel clever go for it. Your opinion is the only one allowed. Bore off.

Went to 5 different shops today and the shelves in all of them were either half empty or completely empty. No milk, no eggs, no bread, little to no meat. It’s absolutely ridiculous, even the crisp aisle in Tesco was practically half empty and of course no toilet roll but thankfully I managed to get some on Tuesday. There are no words for how greedy and selfish people are, it’s vile.

Went to Lidl, it was carnage! People were clearing the shelves! Managed to get most of what I wanted.
But no eggs or toilet paper.

Yeah, it was a struggle but we managed to get most of what we needed but we couldn’t find any eggs at all or any antibacterial wipes for the kitchen so we’ll have to just use spray and sponges which isn’t too bad but we prefer wipes, the medicine aisle in Wilko was ridiculously empty.

Roll your eyes all you want , the fact is we don't know the personal circumstances of other shoppers so getting all judgy as to what others buy is unfair.

Just been to Tesco. No milk or bread (6 horrid full of seeds brown only). toothpaste and mouthwash starting to go. No dog food save the very expensive stuff.

I think we are going to have to be rationed and given coupons as people cannot be trusted

Hang on, haven't you since the beginning of this thread been bragging about stockpiling?.. So who can't be trusted?

I was giving my opinion on the situation same as you. No need to get all personal so, again, bore off.

The way I see it lots of people have a limited amount of money to spend on food but the people filling trolliesbday in and day out are greedy pigs with money.

[Jordan.]

I think I've spent the most money on cat food, priorities.

[bots]

the panic buying must tail off at some point because people simply wont have room to squirrel any more away.

I heard one store had refilled their shelves 10 times in a day, and it was still cleared.

[Josy]

This was our nearest aldi about 20 mins ago :/ even the freezers were empty

On a plus note I got 2 jugs of milk and a pkt of twirls

[Marsh.]

Oh don't judge them. You're not allowed an opinion.
