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.

The fear.. can relate to that.

I hope to go to ASDA and the other Aldi today. Need the dreaded shreddies and cornflakes.

Morrison's are selling the 720g big box of Kellogg's cornflakes for £2 atm.

Asda has got 2 large boxes for £4 on some cereals.

I've probably said this before but I just wish the powers that be would decide WTAF is happening. It seems unbelievable that with less than 2 weeks to go there is no plan in place and they're still arguing about it.

Have just seen this on BBC website. Hazarding a guess I'm anticipating a no deal on 29th or crap deal at the end of June - can't see the rest of Europe letting us have an indefinite extension to sort our shit out, especially if it means we'd get to vote in the next Euro elections.

Is everyone on here prepping in anticipation of no deal on 29th still? I was debating scaling back a bit as I'm not exactly flush at the moment, but if the next vote is taking place on Thursday I'm wondering if sticking to my original plan of a month's food shopping plus extras when I get paid on Friday isn't such a bad idea.

BBC exit diagram...

Oh lovely. Everything always feel better if there's a nice diagram

(Even if crashing out is a possibility on the diagram )

Well tbh it's blowing my mind a bit and I studied politics! so I'm loving the diagram of options!

I've been following these diagrams, with predicted probabilities and regularly updated:

Mind-blowing, the variations...

Went to Sainsbury's today and got 3 packs of chocolate club's and a 10 pack of wispas. And fresh food for dinner.

Are they on offer, Sparkly? I could do with some Wispas!

£2 for 10.

Might head there after having my staples out on Tuesday! We need to spend £5 to get 2 hours' parking anyway.

Collapses on floor of thread.

Added: 2 tins peaches, 3 tins sweetcorn, 3 tins pineapple, two packs of mushroom cuppa soup, 2 tins of tomato soup and two tins of scotch broth, to the store. Fancy big boxes cereal being on offer,

Two for four pounds for 720g boxes. 2 for £4 on shreddies as well.

I have opened a box of each and put the inside bag under the mostly finished bags of cereal in the old boxes to take up less space.

The tins pile has grown. With two tins each of canellini and kidney beans. One more of each to be added when I can be arsed to walk to the kitchen and fetch them.

Seeds. Hemp, pumpkin and poppy, went to put them away and there are more seeds and nuts already in the tin squirreled away

my pile is slightly out of control - think i have enough peanut butter to last a year but bread-related products are more of an issue to probably only enough to last a week...

i've tried to avoid buying things we wouldn't eat anyway but gave in today and bought a wee bit of beef jerky and a matteson's smoked sausage thing as i have no meat stocked up at all (although do have tuna, mackerel, lentils and chickpeas).

i started mainly because i worried about prices going up but now starting to get the fear that there could actually be proper shortages and if that happens i'd need to consider feeding my parents as well - although my mum has finally persuaded my dad to have more than 1 of anything in the house

I was hoping to get to Aldi as well but ex was late so lost an hour of time. Therefore, I still need laundry detergent.

On the plus side I was bought chocolate in compensation!

I have cleaned and sorted the fridge and bought some more of dd's violife cheese and soft not cheese. Both of which have dates to the end of the year.

I have muttered and grumbled about "that Bellini" and others, whilst filling the car up with petrol. Hate it when you know someone is right but you don't want to do it because it is a job you hate. I am sure I will be grateful for the advice when she is proved right!

I am running my milk stocks at quite a high level at the moment for similar reasons.

Bought a couple of clip boxes for storing flour.

And the fishfingers. Yay!

Just need light bulbs and plasters I thing now.

After that it is keeping up with the shopping to not let stocks run down.

I found Frys Chocolate Cream Orange flavoured bars ORANGE I TELL YOU in Iceland. That's Peter Andre's Iceland, not Bjork's. The orange is clearly apposite.

So I bought erm, a lot.

Orange you say? Iceland you say?

Thanks for the peanut butter reminder. I've just discovered that Holland & Barrett has the one eaten in our house at buy one get one half price, which makes it a really good price (it's Meredian, crunchy).

I bought 4kg to get free delivery.

I might just have done another stash shop.

pasta sauces in bulk
passata
tomato puree
cheese
cat food

All on offer. And Tesco gave me a free bottle of pickling vinegar too.

Now settling down to watch Escape to the Chateau with the rhubarb crumble the wind forced me to make. Stems snapped off on all of the plants but I'm not complaining too much...

What with being a foreigner... there's a saying in my language depicting lots of effort with no results that goes something like "doesn't result in either a baby or a turd" - I've now heard it suggested the turd should be replaced by Brexit.

I'm just keeping things in rotation now. Not going to eat away my stockpiles unless this shit show is officially cancelled. In positive news, we've found we like Huel. It's stopped us missing meals when we're really not in the mood. Handy store, easy to make up. Not a great taste, I'd say, but it's okay.

No Fry's orange in my Iceland. I feel cheated.

@Sparkly, that's poor form of your Iceland. Unless the staff bought them all.

I have staggered back from town with the latest haul.

Sunflower seeds for eating,
Courgette, tomato and bean seeds for planting, fibre pots to start them off, pizza bases, plasters, fabric strapping, larger dressings, vacuum packed corn on the cob, shampoo, milton hand gel, diarrhoea tablets just in case, spare rulers and set squares for school. Absolutely shattered. Going to unpack the bag soon and see what else I bought and can't remember. Got the car fixed too and paid the DC's Christmas money into their accounts.
