To have just stocked up on loo roll and canned foods

[FckBoris]

Just been to tesco and brought loads of loo roll, cans rice and pasta, got home and dh has said im overreacting.

Aibu, this is stuff we already use just a bit more of it.

I was in Lidl this afternoon. Full shelves and loads of bog roll. I think you'd have to be pretty unreasonable not to have a couple of weeks worth of essentials in just in case you need to self isolate.
Me and the kids are crossing fingers we have to stay at home for a fortnight. As long as we're not ill it will be bliss. But that's because we have chocolate and crisps in our stores too

It seems perfectly sensible to have a few weeks basic supplies. If a large percentage of the population does become infected at once, as seems increasingly possible, then shops/delivery services will likely struggle.

I don't think sensible, reasonable foresight is "panic buying". A bit of light prep now could ease the burden on me and everyone else down the line.

Given that people are already panic buying, I guess you need to panic buy for that purpose, especially if you have kids.

You can buy what you want to buy. It is your choice.

I'm just going to Netflicks and chill with my banging headache, hunger pangs and pooey bum. As long as I keep my upper lip stiff and keep coming on here to mock the preppers I will be fine and I'm sure my kids who are both under 5 will be too.
