To ask if / what you are stockpiling for Brexit

[Mammylamb]

DH thinks I’m a bit mad: but I stockpile most winters in case we have an awful
Winter. All of the food gets used though eventually.

I’ve stockpiled loo roll, kitchen roll, toothpaste, soap and washing powder.

A freezer full of meals (Mac cheese, bolognaise, various stews, soups and curries, apple crumble (we have apples from our apple trees needing used), 10kg pasta and rice, flour, tins of tomatoes, beans/lentils/chickpeas, tinned fruit and veg. Oh and some UHT milk

Am I missing anything? Are you stockpiling?

@lostelephant , top of wardrobe, under bed, behind bath panel. Seriously.

I think people who don't want to buy tinned food because they don't usually eat it are missing the point. If fresh food is not available, you'll have to eat something.
OP, my larder and freezer are full, and if necessary I could feed my family for 3 months or so.
We have meat, soup, stews and veg in freezer. Pasta and rice, tinned soup,veg, meat and beans, flour etc, and long life fruit juice in larder. Plus spices, herbs, salad cream, ketchup and olive oil. The usual stuff just a bit more of it.
Bit extra toothpaste, soap, shampoo etc and otc meds (painkillers, antacids, antihistamines, thrush cream) and sanpro.
Plenty of pet food.

oh shiiit is it really going to be bad will we not get toothpaste or soap again

It’s you lot who are going to make the prices go up

Can you explain exactly why my already full larder will make prices go up, please, @StrictlyComeMarie?

How does stuff I bought a few months ago cause supply problems next month @StrictlyComeMarie ? Genuinely confused by that idea.

I'm stockpiling tinfoil, one hats worth only lasts about 3 hours, as it's resistance wears down over time, so you have to keep making new ones.

I hope you don't have metal fillings Biker47 as that's going to make eating those hats less palatable.

will we not get toothpaste or soap again

That is not what I said.

Don’t worry, the US will send food aid packages. 😜

Nothing much, just making sure the car is full of petrol, anything in the cupboards & freezer is replaced when used, some long life milk & ordinary milk in the freezer as well as some bread, just what I do when approaching winter every year.

I might just build an air raid shelter to hide all my Cadbury’s in.

DH came home with a bag full of horrible tinned chilli/curry etc the other day. It'll take a lot more than Brexit to get me to eat any of it.

Ooh and Nespresso!

I’ll break into one of the basement flats as well to live and hide more Cadbury’s. We’ll be feral by then so we can do that...

A lot of Eu ppl in. M Y building can take over their flats when those ppl are kicked out and the civil unrest happens

believe 80% of flour used in Ireland comes from the UK

Oh good at least we’ll have bread in the UK. We won’t need the rest of Europe then. Panem et circenses.

Dried Pasta (apparently that will be hard to get)
Chopped Toms
Tomato paste
Olive oil and sunflower oils
Toilet roll
Washing powder
May buy yeast but expect most of our bread UK made, it’s just where they get their raw ingredients from

i think we’re 100% milk sufficient but only 70% cheese and less yogurt.

@Wibblewobble do you mean we as in UK? Where do you live?

I have been buying bogof and 3for two offers etc. Have a lot of tins,jars and packets, Sanpro, loo roll and cheap painkillers as I can get bad headaches and period pain. I’m now putting away toiletries and will start putting a list together. It will all get used anyway but an extra few tins or a tube of toothpaste etc doesn’t break the bank. When we buy our usual six rolls of bog roll, one will be put aside.

@Socksontheradiator yes sorry UK. But I could very easily be wrong but I’m sure I heard it on the TV.

Nowt, can’t be arsed. Not convinced it’ll ever happen but I’m sure there will be food available if we are hungry.

anybody would think we were on the verge of ww3

I've bought extra calpol in for my baby but that's it. I can't think of anything I would run out of and not be able to access that I'd need urgently. I live a 5 min walk from 3 supermarkets and tons of cafes and restaurants.... I

coffee,toilet rolls,toiletries, tinned foods such as pies,chilli,rice and pasta. bread and cake mixes,anything wifh a long shelf life. Did a wine run and got 30 3 litre boxes should help ease tge problems. Keeping clear of freezer stuff in case no electricity but have battery and solar lamps. The world is going mad
