The "main" supermarkets (Tesco, ASDA, Sainsburies) are pretty bare btw so it's not just the area.

Our local shop is fine, has everything, Gav will be doing our main shop tomorrow in a bigger supermarket Dunnes so I will report back then

Thanks, the Simply Food in the BP petrol station was holding up well until yesterday, I think talk of a potential lockdown sent people crazy

It’s disgusting and it’s not people on low incomes that are taking the piss.

As i keep saying people have quickly change within a few weeks from #BeKind to being completely selfish and inconsiderate to the vulnerable. No one needs that amount of toilet roll and other things.

Do people not keep food in their house? There's always something kicking around here, I'd never buy "today's food" each day :s

And the fresh fruit and veg and milk and eggs all items that have short shelf dates so make no sense what so ever to stock pile as they will be wasted while someone goes without

Supermarkets and their supply chains are beginning to buckle under the strain of customer behaviour in the face of coronavirus.
Several chains are "drastically cutting" the product ranges in store.
They also said they were telling their manufacturers to ignore making some products to focus on those for which there is greatest demand.
Meanwhile, competition laws are being relaxed so shops can discuss stock levels and pool staff and resources.
"We currently sell 60 types of sausages - we are moving to a fraction of that," said one supermarket.
Another said: "We need to make food manufacture as efficient as possible - it makes no sense to pause to change packet sizes or change from one type of pasta to another.
"We have 20 different sizes and styles of pasta, we are moving that to six."
Morrisons have reduced their bakery lines from 17 to seven.
While executives insisted there was no shortage of food, they were struggling to restock shelves fast enough. Meanwhile, online delivery services are running at "maximum capacity"

we are animals, when people mention the possibility of death, survival instincts kick in ... that shows itself in this case as panic buying. We haven't had a threat like this in a century

I would have thought that the government could set up a system for the key workers so they’re guaranteed food ..

Just seems obvious to provide the key workers with their food needs

Gav went shopping anyway, they had everything toilet roll, pasta, eggs etc but they had totally changed how they were allowing people to shop, a security guard was at the door to let people in as there was only a certain amount of people allowed in at a time and they'd set up a queue system that spaced everyone out. It took longer than usual but it was safer
