Pandemic preparedness shopping list

[toomuchtooold]

I know, I know, I don't want to suggest we all go and clear the local Lidl of bog roll but as I'm a) in south Germany, only a few hours' drive from Milan and b) going to the supermarket, I'd love to hear your recommendations. Bog roll will be on my list, as well as some long life milk, frozen veg and rolls, and the fruit squash the kids drink a ton of. Don't have to worry about medicines because we stockpile painkillers and cold remedies and stuff whenever we visit the UK because it's like 12 euros for strepsils here, so IDK what else. What do you think?

Chocolate. Possibly alcohol. Getting stuck in the house would be vastly improved by those things.

I feel like if I ran out of alcohol that would probably do me some good. Chocolate though...

Are you thinking of not leaving your home for a few weeks sort of prepping? In which case, plan something to occupy your children whilst in lockdown, or you may well end up eating them in sheer frustration.
There is a Preppers section here, if you want detailed lists.

Well, this aged well... we're in effective lockdown now (all shops except supermarkets and chemists are shut, as well as cinemas, churches, bars, restaurants, swimming pools, sports halls and even playgrounds), the kids are off school and bored to tears (I did stock up on craft stuff and books but I think it's going to take a few more days' boredom before they're up for any of that) and the local supermarket has not had any bog roll for the past week. But I did do a decent big shop back when I posted this so we're OK. I didn't think to get any hand gel, and I've not seen any since, but I did get a bottle of rubbing alcohol before it sold out so if we're desperate I can make my own...

there is a preppers board for this and tbh you're a bit late. Anyway good lists all over there.

She's not late @lubeybooby

Hope it passes without incident for you @toomuchtooold

Thanks sharpie!
