What will be the new Loo roll sell out?

After loo roll sell out came cleaning products and now bikes, cycle shops are selling entire stock of bikes and up to 50 bikes a day rather than 30 bikes a week.

So what will be the next hot product?

I think it could be tents and camping equipment as people decide to stay in UK for cheap holidays away

Dried yeast is still impossible to get in supermarkets here since lockdown.

I’ve been trying to buy a Nintendo Switch for weeks now but they are out of stock everywhere.

Ditto printers. Could do with one to print out ds’s school work but all the decent price ones are out of stock. Having to email everything to dh to print out at work.

Puppies or any dogs. They are double the price and mostly impossible to buy now.

Yoghurt (in fact most dairy products) have been difficult to get the last few days.

As it becomes uneconomic to oil sellers and refiners, petrol and diesel.

Marmite seems to be sold out in a number of places.

I'm wondering if novice bakers have tried to replace yeast with yeast extract?

Also selling well: home exercise equipment, garden games, dental repair kits and oil of cloves, traditional board games (and build your own patio kits?)

As soon as the antibody test becomes available in shops/ online it will surely be constantly out of stock.

The hair dye situation is disturbing - it appears I have more stray greys than I realised ...

Office chairs and Treadmills.

Both items I have looked for this week. Office chairs in particular are hard to find unless you want to pay a fortune, which I do not!

Elastic, I've used up what little I had, any left they are try to sell at stupid prices. Same with compost unless you've got a local supermarket selling it, that's been difficult to get hold of.
Still haven't been able to get yeast, but have managed to order some online as we have to make our own bread due to dietary requirements.

Children’s foot measures!

My DS is on the verge of walking and obviously has no shoes yet. No idea what the hell I’m meant to do about it.

I can’t get vanilla essence anywhere which is annoying. I’m sure it wasn’t sold out before I needed it

@Eminybob I got a really nice one for less than £90 last week direct from Hewlett Packard. Next day delivery! It has a great deal on subscription ink as well.

There could well be a national shortage of antidepressants and anti anxiety medications.
