Show me your brexit stockpiles cont...

[SparklySneakers]

A thread for sharing details of our stashes: what we have, what we need, good hiding places and all sorts of hints and tips to help prepare for shortages in the event of a no deal brexit.

I had a read, mostly it was fine, though theres a couple of screenshots including two people's usernames.

I read it. So no wasting time with stories about avocado and quinoa - which is what they were doing hitherto. Actual sensible stuff.

The comments are the usual shit. Not sure why people get so irate about the multipacks of beans I bought back in January??!! And all the comments about the war?? Dicks!!

It did remind me I need some more olive oil and cheese though! Going top the car up too...

@mum2jakie , it's a massive improvement on DM's previous stance that only people worried about avocados and quinoa were concerned. And that was apparently funny.

Is it my username?

Fuck off then daily mail!

You are ok Fox, not you.

I don't recognise either of the posters who they've quoted via screenshot.

And I'd rather trust my own stockpiling than the supermarkets which are likely to be mayhem if it goes tits up.

It's such lazy journalism, though the woman in the article has broken the first rule of stockpiling as she's outed herself as stockpiling!

Oh, and fuck off Daily Mail; I don't want you quoting me either.

Thanks Bellini (a few days late). It is a common yet effective scientific method, I find

Just made me want to make another list to see how many different things I have got.

I certainly don't have 700 things! 😂

I don't have 700 different things.

I've cycled 10 miles and walked 6 miles today so am breaking into the chocolate.

I don't have 700 things in total or 700 different things. I'm not sure I even have 700 different things in the whole kitchen!

That's good going, Bercow. I've been fell walking so am exhausted. We ate out though, so I'm not onto chocolate (I'm also not in my own house, which means there's no stash to raid!).

I have loads of stuff, lots of different sorts of stuff, I know I do not have the same things as other people as I do not have any tinned potatoes or instant mash. some people have got things that are much more expensive than I can afford. (various tinned fruits and tinned meats which we do not eat anyway)

It would be really interesting to see a comprehensive list and how they have categorised different.

I have no idea how many things I have got as I have not counted.

I'm going off the top of my head. I may be underestimating though. 😂

Oh, no tinned fruit, veg (peas etc) or potatoes here. No instant mash either.

I do have some ham, but that's all the meat and tuna is the only fish.

I am pushing four hundred different things if you count each sort of cracker say.

Hopefully people focus on what they like and what they can afford.

Everyone thinks I'm completely bonkers for stockpiling, but it helps with the brexit anxiety.

Yep, we do not have lots of the frozen meats and fish( mainly veggie/vegan meals) or tinned meats or commercially frozen fruit that others have bought.

Nor have I dehydrated various things. (CBA/ can't store/ fussy children) though I am tempted by dehydrated mushrooms.

I do not use many beauty products so that has reduced my list length.

Conversely I have loads of dried/tinned beans and pulses as we eat a lot of those already.

If you are bonkers, so are the rest of us. If we are wrong we can quietly eat our stash over the next few months. If we are right, we can also eat the stash quietly and try not to say I told you so to those who ridiculed us. Those that laughed can be told to fuck off with their requests to share.

I've been into a small Asda today and no bargain beans. I will go when I get home from holiday and see if I can get them there.

Though maybe by the time I get home I'll be able to eat the stash as we have a nice long extension!

Hope you have a good holiday.

Thank you. We've been cat-sitting in the Lakes but it's our last day today.

And then I'm back to working from home on Monday after 5 weeks off for my shoulder op. That'll be a shock to the system!
