So at the moment it's hand sanitiser, handwash and toilet rolls. What's next ?

Yeast and flour

Gin

Breastfeedingworries · 07/03/2020 18:13

I couldn’t get pasta lol, I did stock up on gin Grin

Fuel shortages will come, won't be long.

Carrie7469 · 07/03/2020 18:15

No pasta or paracetamol in my local Aldi today

Bigbouncingbaby · 07/03/2020 18:15

Better not be gin !!!

Wehttam · 07/03/2020 18:17

Yeast and flour had ran out in Sainsbury’s where I live

UHT milk could be one to watch, I have 30 cartons bought over the past 2 months

AuntieMarys · 07/03/2020 18:18

I have 12 bottles of gin. Need more tonic though

littlemissmuffins · 07/03/2020 18:19

long life food. I don't see the point in toilet roll obsession. Flannels can be used and washed.

HappyHammy · 07/03/2020 18:19

no pasta, loo roll, kitchen roll in Tesco today

Vintagegoth · 07/03/2020 18:20

Pasta and cold remedies

Atalune · 07/03/2020 18:20

Pasta
Rice
Uth milk

Dreading fuel shortages as we live rurally.

belay · 07/03/2020 18:20

I don't drink alcohol or eat pasta 😁

Chablis and duchy organic medjool dates (also know as good of the gods). Those too proud to stockpile will have downgrade to M&S dates and Prosecco at the risk of social suicide.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/03/2020 18:21

Yes I think fuel. Not because it will be in short supply, but people will think it will be in short supply, so they’ll panic buy. Then it’ll be in short supply. Fabulous

Anything tinned.

nickEcave · 07/03/2020 18:22

Why would there be fuel shortages when people will want to travel less?

Unmentionablesandfluff · 07/03/2020 18:24

UHT milk and cream, fuel.

We’ve stocked up on UHT milk, UHT cream and milk powder. We’re not big milk drinkers but we cook with it. We’re driving the cars with no less than 3/4 tanks

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/03/2020 18:25

Because people tend to panic buy. And frenzy feeds frenzy. Why have they panic bought loo roll? Makes no sense.

belay · 07/03/2020 18:25

Chocolate 😳😳

Latex gloves - I need them for when I am peeling beetroot or making curries. The shop assistant was gobsmacked that they’d all gone!

WrongKindOfFace · 07/03/2020 18:26

With the exception of hand gel there was plenty of the above In Tesco today. Savers and Wilko also looked pretty well stocked.

I did notice though that the big packets of Yorkshire tea were running low.

Lycidas · 07/03/2020 18:28

Strepsils
Dry cough syrup

(Once people actually start getting sick)

OhamIreally · 07/03/2020 18:30

It better not be bloody wine 🍷! I have my Brexit stash of big sack of pasta, big sack of rice and loads of tomatoes and olive oil. What kind of short sighted fool doesn't think of wine?
