Went to my local big Tesco to do the weekly shop today. No toilet roll, bleach, long life milk or tissues. We still had beans but down to one stack instead of the usual 3. I got my weekly amount and left.

There and to the left a bit

Local Tesco was out of flour, anti-bac spray and hand soaps/sanitisers, low on tinned soups and baked beans, and had "three per person" limits on other things - moronic really that people are so taken in by it that they do it - tin foil hats were also completely out of stock

Mind you cynical me also wonders how much supermarkets are deliberately withholding, or putting less items from the shelves to spur sales by making people think they're running low.

nothing wrong with stocking up, it wont go to waste as you will always need soap and toilet paper, its not gonna go outa date

.

must admit ive just filled the garage freezer, as both the kitchen freezer and utility room freezer are full.

.

plenty alcohol too

.

even topped up my .308, 9mm, .357 ammo as well as shotgun cartridges too, to the maximum amount allowed to hold

.

keep the both the cars fuel topped up and extra fuel also stored

as well as full tanks in the motorcycles

.

1900 litres of heating fuel

as well as bottled gas

.

everything is needed, nothing will go to waste and as long as the chickens keep laying there will be fresh eggs too

no point buying stuff you will never use, but everything I have will be needed and used.

I got an online shop delivered yesterday and they gave me 9 free toilet rolls and 4 extra handwashes just because they had to substitute what I ordered very slightly , I thought those were the two things they'd be rationing if people are going nuts buying.

Near Wellingborough

I went to the pharmacy to get some paracetamol and they told me they had none as everyone came in panic buying. WTF people? Luckily one of the girls had put a secret stash out the back and let me buy a couple as I'm recovering from surgery. I was only in hospital for 3 days and everyone has gone absolutely nuts. You would think it's the apocalypse or something. So glad that I bought enough cat food to last 3 weeks before I went in otherwise my poor pussy would be starving. The world has gone mad.

Buying lots of essentials isn't really panicking. If you go out for loo roll and come home with a pair of slippers a disposable barbecue and a copy of woman's weekly... now that's panicking.

I think I’ve probably checked all the websites out since Polly has been diabetic the best brand for her that she will actually eat is Sheba fine flakes poultry in jelly, it has only 1.9% carbs. There are other brands suitable that she likes so it shouldn’t cause too much of a problem if we have to switch

Pissing me off tbh. I popped in to get some paracetamol and cat food to find shelf’s of paracetamol and any product containing it sold out. I actually have sinusitis (have had for 3 weeks) and in need some pain relief. Not impressed with the selfishness of it all.

I hate to think of a cat going hungry

I went to the store to panic buy toilet paper but they had run out, so I panic bought whisky instead. My theory is that if I drink enough whisky I won't give a shit and therefore won't need toilet paper.

It's selfish to buy silly amounts of things, resulting in shops being short of basic essentials.

most fundamental aspects

I made a routine purchase of toilet roll the other day and felt very self conscious.

I walked out the door at the same time as another shopper and the alarms went off. For a second, I seriously wondered if they had security tagged the bog rolls. Then I realised that they’re not the easiest thing to stuff up a jumper.

Shops should restrict the amount people are allowed to buy. There's no problem with the supply chain, the problem is purely the result of idiotic panic buying.

The elderly snd infirm may only be able to shop on a particular day and are likely not to be in a financial position to shop around.

They might have enough to get through one or two missed opportunities but what if the selfish buggers mean that they are still unavailable at the point that person is running out?

Right - so people should refrain from buying things just in case somebody they don't know might want to buy it at a later point!

The shops aren't bare, there's alternative options for everything.

The idea that you'd expect to get exactly what you want, whenever you want it seems like the selfish bit to me.

It's perfectly rational.

You may think it is a selfish thing to do, but that does not make it irrational.

"Right - so people should refrain from buying things just in case somebody they don't know might want to buy it at a later point!

The shops aren't bare, there's alternative options for everything.

The idea that you'd expect to get exactly what you want, whenever you want it seems like the selfish bit to me.

Lol very selfish me thinking I could pop to the shop to buy some cheap paracetamol and cat food. "

No, that's normal.

Assuming that other people should avoid buying them just in case you want them is selfish.

Just walk to the next shop and buy alternatives and stop whinging about people's choices

Personally not panic buying but I have got a few extra bits in because there's 5 of us in my house, so if one of us gets it we'll all have to self isolate. And I don't fancy living with 3 hangry teens!!

Bad news. Coronavirus is mutating rapidly. The most recent strain can no longer be cured by purchasing huge quantities of toilet paper. Your move, science.

"Our local supermarket has no tinned beans, no pasta, no porridge...

Is anyone here panic buying?"

That explains the rush on toilet paper, it's all adding up now. If that's gonna be people's diet Greta's gonna be in huff about methane in the atmosphere for sure.

At least Prince Andrew can't fly or take a boat to America now for risk of catching anything or carrying anything. They don't want him with a fever and sweating all over the place.

Think I'll put my face mask on now and do my Bane impression.

It's a well known scientific fact that if you put lube in a condomyou can grow an embryo....test lube babies.

Totally agree, shops should be more responsible. In wilkos yesterday they were announcing over the tannoy that they had antibac, loo rolls etc, had big displays of those type of products all through the shop and by the tills. I'm assuming this was just to encourage people to buy extra.

Why panic buy? If the mortality rate increases, there will be plenty to go round. What's the problem? I'll eat a dead man's tinned food.

A case of tinned tomatoes shallots garlic, dried oregano will give you a plentiful supply of past sauce far cheaper than the ready made sauce.

It's social responsibility versus selfishness.

There's not reasonable justification for amassing tons more than we need, knowing that we are not currently in a high risk situation of catching this infection, and when we have better access and mobility, unlike many who are infirm, use public transport and not a car, don't have Internet shopping potential buf could be the people who have a greater risk of death.

I'd do without shopping, so that an elderly person can get something instead.
