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.

The effects have now subsided.

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

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

The wine shelves were full, but then I live in a very Asian area so I hope I can rely on the wine not going for a while

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 discovered one of our frozen foods we bought had a expired date

crazy eh, I think only Tesco put a limit on how much pasta etc you could buy, but then what would stop you going back in and buying more?

Don't put them down your drains as they don't disintegrate and your drains will bung up in no time

fill your basket and the person behind you in the queue is sure to run off to do the same

[Liam-]

I’m off to costco on Sunday, i think panic buying is ridiculous, but if everyone else is doing it, might as well join in so the lunacy doesn’t leave us without

Sunday! you will be lucky if there is anything left

[Strictly Jake]

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

[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.
