Anyone been to the supermarket this morning?

Is it hell or is it ok??

Today was due to be the day for 'the big Christmas shop'

I'm going to look like a proper panic buying twat with my loaded Christmas trolley aren't I 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sainsbury's at 6am and it was quiet and relaxed. I just got Christmas food and stuff, I'm not panic buying. I don't agree with it.

Yes went to my local m and s at 6 am when it opned and it was busy! Went next door to aldi and it was so quiet loved it!

Aldi at 7:30 am was fine. Car park full at 8 am and no small trolleys left when I left and people starting to queue at the entrance.

I went to Tesco at 6am. Hardly any shoppers, but soooo many staff and soooo many sprouts.

This is exactly the reassurance I need - Christmas without sprouts would be the final cherry on top of the shitcake of 2020!

I’m hoping that any panic buyers will be getting bins and bog roll. I can’t imagine people panic buying Christmas items?! I just need fresh fruit and veg, some dairy and some extra treats for Christmas really so hopefully that will all still be there -planning to go 6am tomorrow!

@MobLife

This is all very reassuring!

If you're going now though, it's going to be a lot busier, especially as people have woken up to the news that the food supply chain might be compromised by the travel bans.

I wouldn't have known about the freight issues without having un unhealthy obsession with social media and MN late on a Sunday evening

Sainsbury's was very busy at 7am.

SE England (Tier 2).

We are going for our weekly shop as late as possible tonight

The only Christmas stuff i want, which we might struggle with, is dips

Its onions and peppers of all things which i need

Dropped ds at swim training at 7.50.

Went to towns Aldi thinking I'd be queuing round the block in the rain and may have to go straight back for him (finishes 10.30).

Was home and unpacked and kettle on an hour after leaving him

It was busy for a Monday morning but no queuing.

99% of people extremely sensible and walking down aisles in a queue.

Every now and again someone would appear from nowhere and walk across everyone and hang over and grab what they wanted.

I may have blocked them when spotted by pushing my trolley further forward

It was fine, not busy, No queues

Original plan was normal xmas food shopping this morning, however i woke up early so secided to just get up and go.....asda was brisk but not too busy, lots of staff picking orders though. Car park was filling up as i left. Glad i didnt leave it until later today....now i get to enjoy my day off 😊

I went to Tesco at 6:30am, very few customers in there but absolutely rammed with order pickers. Fruit and veg aisles couldn't move for staff, I think at one point I was the only actual customer in the aisle but heard a picker complaining that they shouldn't have let customers in the shop!
All the shelves were full, looked to be plenty of everything, including turkeys.

I went to Aldi yesterday and it was fine. Bit busy, but not too crowded.

I usually shop Monday evening when he trains so it's my usual day but his timetable has changed for Xmas holidays.

Just had our Waitrose delivery and they didn't have any sprouts or bread sauce in stock

I went this morning at 7.45. Totally fine. Just didn't have carrots for some reason.

South Wales here. arrived at 7, was like a Saturday afternoon. well stocked though and no panic buying just people doing big xmas shops.

rates through roof here so I guess people doing a large single shop rather than several smaller ones. That's me done now until after xmas.

Aldi at 7 was hell. By the time I was done at 8, Morrison’s was heaving (drove past)

Dreading picking up pre ordered food from butcher tomorrow.

I can remember working at Tesco as a teen and the queues used to go halfway down the aisles at Christmas. I quite enjoyed it!

Sainsburys, arrived 8.45ish. Was fine. Was still fine when I left at 9ish, and not many people around in general. Good stock of everything.

Just been to Tesco. We're having to stay at home instead of going to parents so didn't have much in the house at all. It was fine, and there was plenty of Christmas stuff. We tried to go to Waitrose though and you couldn't even get in the car park! Tells you who it is who panic buys doesn't it.

We always run out of red cabbages locally at Christmas. They are like gold dust

It's going to be heaving later isn't it. Maybe I'll get up early tomorrow and do a quick run around. Christmas day plans are still up in the air, so don't whether I'm cooking for my brother's family too or just us.

Morrisons at 6.45 was very quiet.
