My family laugh at my stockpiling

[Maykid]

Whenever I mention Brexit my family snigger .I have a stockpile of food in case of no deal and to be fair they have been fine about that, but I know I am just being humoured.

Hmm, DP and I are the only ones of our friends stockpiling (late 20’s early 30’s) but I work in a financial office of a multi nat - where everyone is spending A LOT of time predicting every possible outcome of Brexit!

They have planned for everything from no effect at all - to worst case scenario and TRUST me, a few weeks worth of food is the least you want to do!

I’ve held off until now as I want to see if it gets postponed- also some of the things I’d buy have a 4-5 month date on so the closer I get the longer we’ll have. If nothing changes I’ll be putting a large online order of long life items in online over the next few weeks!

I always stockpile- I have lived much of my life in a rural area, often being cut off in winter for days or weeks at a a time.
My DD has shown her friends my garage shelves.
It makes economic sense too- my most recent purchase was in Tesco for a line of Andrex toilet roll- 10 pack for a pound. I bought 100 rolls.
I have piles of canned foods, detergent, a freezer full of christmas type items that cost pennies- chilli prawns, pigs in blankets ( make a great breakfast sandwich)
I could feed the whole family for a month without shopping.
