Ridiculous behaviour, it's not like the shops are shutting and you can't go. This lockdown doesn't mean you can't leave the house without fear of being shot or locked up.
Shows the level of intelligence in some people.
I will still continue to shop as and when I need to keeping myself as safe as possible and following the mask and hand washing guidelines. If I end up with Covid I can only hope I would get through it ok.
Supermarkets should have been told in advance so all the things that ran out last time were increased to avoid it happening again.
So how often do you go and do these two weeks' worth of shopping? In any case, the two weeks of self-isolating has been in since this all started so why would you need to do extra shopping now?If you are directed to by test and trace you *can't* legally leave your home for 2 weeks.... if you can't get food delivered or find anyone to do it for you there isn't much option but to bulk buy before that happens to ensure an extra two weeks of supplies. So when everyone does it the whole supply chain falls over. Or are folk just supposed to carry on going into supermarkets when potentially infectious?
There will be some over buying as there always are but normal people buying in two week supplies because they *might* have to isolate isn't so stupid. It's planning. Supermarkets should have been told in advance so all the things that ran out last time were increased to avoid it happening again.
Even Boris didn't know........No chance of that, cabinet ministers and backbenchers weren't even told in advance.

It could be that more people are having it delivered and don't need to go and collect it.We get our groceries from Sainsburys click & collect. Until a couple of weeks ago there were two vans at the pick up point. Now there's only one, which makes me wonder if the order volume had dropped. It will be interesting to see if they re-introduce the second van after the new lockdown bites.
Maybe, there are a lot more free C&C slots available whenever I look. Way back in April it was hard to get a delivery slot so we switched to C&C. The collection point is a refrigerated van in the car park outside the store which is windswept most of the time so pretty safe, a lot safer than mingling in-store. We usually arrange a slot to coincide with our daughter & family so we can say hello face to face (socially distanced).It could be that more people are having it delivered and don't need to go and collect it.
Same here.Can't say I noticed any difference in our local Aldi today. Shelves as full as normal and no additional customers,
Anyone needing 36 toilet rolls for 30 days, doesn't need to stockpile, they need a Doctor!!!!
First pack of 12 at normal price, second pack (when bought with first), £25
Let's see who's happy to pay that.
I can put a fresh toilet roll out before I go to work in the morning and it wouldn't be the first time I have had to replace an empty tube when I get home in the afternoon.I think it depends on how many women are in the house. I think they eat the stuff.

I don't think that those who are bulk buying will take any heed of the test and trace, they just want to get their share and yours as well. There is no other description for it but incredibly selfish. How do you know you are going to test positive so by bulk buying is putting an unfair burden on everyone customers and staff alike. As I said totally selfish.
I think its the Christmas lights that are missingLoads of useable paper there
It was posted by the local news hound to our community page.Given the rubbish and lies that appear on FB, it would not surprise me if those pics weren't from the first lockdown....
I'd say that was still within the range of hoarders I'd add a zero to that!First pack of 12 at normal price, second pack (when bought with first), £25
Just ordered 45 rolls off amazon.... Give me a shout if anyone needs any, I'll be selling them at a reasonable price
Good luck with that, wear rubber gloves when using it. Handle carefully ! it’s see thru and fragile.
I have a 6 pack that I bought last week, that'll last me through to next yearWe normally buy them in the 24 packs, this 45 roll pack worked out about the same per roll
I went panic buying internal doors yesterday to give me something to do for the next few weeks. Seriously though, builders were panic buying plaster from B&Q.
Perhaps they're making sure people can get plastered during lockdown?No idea why as B&Q are staying open as normal ...
