Panic buying - everything

[bakedbeanzontoast]

Has anyone noticed in their area that people are panic buying things OTHER than food? Like regular things such as clothes?! Perhaps it's just my area but crikey!

They've gone mad literally panic buying crisps clothes and anything else they can get their greedy hands on x

Bin bags here, weirdly!

I've heard that booze and compost are being panic bought now. What is the world coming to!

Clothes? How strange, it’s not like anyone’s going anywhere to need new clothes.

Crisps here we are all going to emerge in june looking a bit "carby"

This is what I was met with today in my local morrisons it’s a very large store too

Oh and Bananas

It’s weird. Hardly any alcohol in my local Tesco’s today or pet food of any kind.

Marmite here. I've just managed to find one jar of the Tesco's own brand sort. Weird.

Sorry first upload failed 🙄

And cat litter!

Oh maybe it didnt 🤦‍♀️😳

I wonder if folk are burning throwing away clothes ?

It is the right time of year for needing compost though. I expect people are getting it so they can crack on with planting up snd not have to go out again for it. I bought 3 bags but I do that every spring as I plant tomatoes.

But as you can see soo many shelves stripped bare even alcohol, crisps, biscuits, teabags, frozen chicken breasts even 😠 Nappies, baby milk it just doesn’t stop I can’t get my head around what madness goes through other people’s minds when they go mad on buying it.... must be “well f**k all of your families as long as we’re ok

Ive ONLY been buying baby clothes in the next 2 sizes as babies grow of things fast just incase online shopping shuts down too, but not for myself or my other children as when this is over they will need them then.
I have noticed toothpaste is hard to get now think its hard to get anything, people are shopping like its christmas.

I saw a lady buy 9 loaves of bread

It may not be that people are panic buying those random things. The lady in the supermarket explained to me that they are prioritizing the goods that were in high demand (toilet roll, canned food, pasta, soap etc) and that there is therefore no space on the lorries for other non-essential items. Makes sense tbh.

No mop buckets left in my area

I don't know about clothes but I noticed booze and sanitary protection running very low.
Strangely there's always cheese in my local shops whether big or small.

Had my food delivery today and things that were missing were....

Cat food
Squash (getting desperate for this as dd will not drink plain water)
Chocolate orange 😢
Printer paper (need for school work)
Spaghetti hoops with sausages
My nice seeded bread
Bleach

I did get toilet roll and basic own brand bread (wanted hovis)

I’m not going to moan too much as it was delivered to my door and we will make do with what we have. Maybe slightly upset that we have no chocolate. I might order some chocolate online, maybe hotel chocolate 🤣

I noticed there was plenty of cheese, I guess we have quite a lot of local cheese suppliers?

Cat litter is only thing we couldn’t get
Store assistant (Aldi and Lidl) said it’s not because of panic buying but that it had not been included in deliveries to prioritise food so on that basis will try pet shop tomorrow

Vitamins here. Can not find any child vitamins for love nor money. The shelves were bare! These hoarders must be planning on just feeding their kids vits when all the "food runs out".

People don’t know what to buy.

Last week there was no pasta or tinned tomatoes, this week there was loads. This week there was no beer or wine.

The only constant so far has been soap and toilet roll.
