Accidental Stockpiles

Not trying to minimise the situation but is there anything you accidentally ‘stockpiled’ long before this current situation that you would happily share if needed?

I could share mozzarella as bought a 2.3kg pack a few weeks ago by accident. Wanted some mozzarella pearls from our local cash & carry (you can’t actually see the goods, you order in the office and they bring it out to you). Anyway they didn’t have any but offered me a block instead. Without asking how much was in a block, I just said yes. Luckily it freezes so cut it into manageable chunks and froze it.

Also seem to have cornered the market in cardamon pods! I seem to panic buy them thinking I have none at home only to find a couple of jars hidden in the cupboard.

Sometimes we also have too much Marmite as husband worries about running out of it. Not sure what would happen to him if there wasn’t any available but may find out soon! 😂
