There should be a special bloody till in Sainsburys for Panic Buyers

[LizaTarbucksAuntie]

I get it, it's going to snow.

There will probably be a bit of snow for a few days round here.

I spent the best part of an hour queuing in Sainsburys seething quietly and politely waiting my turn to pay to do my normal weekly shop.

FFS it's some slightly bad seasonal weather, NO ONE can eat THAT many tins of muligtawny soup.

They should have their own queue then they can all stand together with thier blitz like behaviour and their preparedness and not get in my friffing way when I have other things to do like come here to whine about them

i actually sleep with an ice pick under the chest of drawers in the bedroom - just in case any of you bastards are thinking of nicking my trifle sponges when snowmania hits and you realise you can't make tirimisu.

I've got my poker.

Well dh's poker. He made it in college about 20 years ago. It's massive and heavy. Would go right through a zombie no problem.

Can you train zombies to panic buy?

@manicbmc - OMG: an equine zombie

[Glittertwins]

3 loo rolls??

[Spuddybean]

Did you mention there was soup too?

[Glittertwins]

Chicken, pea & asparagus or broccoli & Stilton.
Come to think of it, there might be mulligatawny in the freezer as DH can't face it anymore!

[MsTakenidentity]

As ever, the Daily Mail is anxious to reassure us Panic buyers strip shelves after Met Office issues blizzard alert for Wales as Britain braces for blanket of up to 12in of snow tomorrow

[Spuddybean]

hhhmmmmmm seeing as it's you Gli''ah, we'll call it free karzee rolls and some chicken loop the loop, but i'm cuttin' me own froat mind

[BreconBeBuggered]

Well I went to get my shopping once DH got back with the car. There was a staff member guarding the denuded shelves inside the door saying gleefully, 'I hope you didn't want any veg today'. Not so much as a bendy potato was left. I'm going to go round the local bins next week, and if I find any discarded greens, I'll post them back through their letterboxes, the bloody bastard brassica hoarders.

Plenty of mulligatawny soup there, but no bread to go with it, not even the manky ready-to-bake stuff.

[shesariver]

Never mind for all the disappointed folk in Tesco, there might not be any bread, milk, veg and mulligatawny soup but Im sure there will be plenty Tesco value burgers in stock through the back!

conversations with strangers

I love having conversations with strangers!

How else are you going to meet people?!

"Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels"

I have 80, yes eighty loo rolls thanks to my DS who everytime he goes shopping checks out if the loo rolls are on offer and then buys 2 of the 20 pack size.

[Pandemoniaa]

BBC news has a toddler faced man trying to scare everyone at the minute reporting from a grit depot

[PurpleStorm]

Thanks for the tip about the panic buying hordes.

DH was working late tonight, so I've told him to stop by the 24 hour Tesco and panic buy some nappies and wipes for DS. We've only got half a (large) packet of nappies left, after all. Wouldn't want Tesco to run out before we do.....

[Bakingnovice]

Shit. Am panicky now. School will probably shut so will have to spend the day indoors looking out the window every five minutes for snowflake fallage, whilst watching sky news for weather updates!!! In case anyone's worried about our loo roll situation I've just checked and I think we're covered. Erm yeah pardon the pun.

[Goldmandra]

DH called me this evening to say he had invited a colleague and his wife round for dinner tomorrow night so, while dropping DD off at cadets I went to the Tesco Express in a nearby town. It was deserted and the shelves were full.

I don't know where the panic buyers were.

Should I now confess to having bought an extra loaf of bread while I was there?

[Bakingnovice]

Oh god. Just remembered, don't forget the hard hats for the journey to work ( if you go in). Them bloody snowflakes can be huge.

[TrucksAndDinosaurs]

I live in the tropics not the UK but I got into the spirit of the thread by panic buying all four packets of Yorkshire teabags for silly
money. Well, you don't often see good teabags on the shelves here.

I still have my hurricane season supplies of water tinned ravioli sardines and crackers plus wind up radio, torch and mozzie coils so any tropical zombies or weird weather fronts can eat my shorts.

[fiverabbits]

Update on my previous post.

I have just gone into my bathroom upstairs to discover a pack of 24 loo rolls, my DS sneeked them in there after going shopping today.

So we have 104 loo rolls for 4 adults !

[ChippingInNeedsSleepAndCoffee]

Goldmandra that would be a shooting offence in my house!!

[Glittertwins]

Damn it, looks like I have now lost the loo roll trade by going going to bed too early...I'm no good at this market trade lark!

[Dawndonna]

I'm snowed in. It's okay though, I have loo rolls!

[LizaTarbucksAuntie]

not snowed is as yet here... it's expected by lunchtime today

Mark my words Sainsburys will regret passing up the idea for the new campaign. Live Well...in the event of a snowpocalypse' Or 'not just for Snow Days.....' Jamie could do a series of 30 minute survival meals....
