Panic buying of loo roll

There was a fair bit in the food bank cage at our supermarket today, I was pleased to see.

I saw a remark on a Facebook thread relating to those who stockpile toilet rolls

- I hope they all get constipation

It appealed to my sense of humour

The only thing I couldn't get this morning was UHT skimmed milk. Pretty grumpy about that because that is our standard milk, I buy a couple of litres each week.

To be fair it would be sensible of most people did have a fortnight's food to hand. To find you have a bad cough or temperature, but have to rush to your local (crowded) supermarket to do a big shop before you self exclude as otherwise you have no food, is just downright stupid.

Most things seemed available in the Sainsbury’s I went to today. The loo rolls aisle was about a quarter stocked, plenty of choice of brand and size. No hand sanitiser. Some paracetamol. Bizarrely, no strawberry jam!

I shall only panic when there is no marmalade or teabags.😱

Or, possibly ginger oaty biscuits.

Annsixty 😄anniversary paper napkins.

annsixty I love Wright's Coal Tar soap, but only for handwashing when coming in from the garden though.
DH did complain about it, though.

Too many thoughs

I've just been to our local supermarket and they have sold out! It's the supermarkets to blame. They will sell the lot to one person, it doesn't matter to them as its all money. Greedy sods. Well I hope the supermarket bosses get the shits! Haha

There were plenty of packs of toilet paper in the supermarkets we went to yesterday and today
And no, we weren't stocking up, only on my favourite Lidl chocolate, unobtainable in Tesco.

We didn't buy toilet tissue btw, left it for those in need.

Plenty of loo rolls in a large Wilkinsons in a major shopping centre I went to today. I bought a 4 pack, to supplement the 5 rolls I already have - didn't want (or need) to cart a large pack around with me. Hopefully the shops will continue to stock up, and the panic buying will slow down soon. (No hand gel anywhere though!)

My friend, who is due to visit family in Australia this week, has been asked to take loo roll with her as there's none in the supermarkets there!!

I hope they have enough loo roll for Tom Hanks and his wife.

Wishing them both a full recovery

DD was in Sainsbury’s this morning, apparently it was manic . The lady on the tills, said it had been like this for the last two weeks, and people had been queuing outside the supermarket since 6.00 o’clock this morning ! If only the supermarkets would limit items such as loo rolls, anti bac soap etc. to just two packs per person, and that some people weren’t so selfish !

My cleaner said she took one of her clients to Asda this morning, and it was absolute mayhem. Queuing to get in, folk with trolleys piled high with toilet rolls, none on the shelves.

Plenty of toilet rolls in our Tesco Express. They have got a notice next to an empty bit of shelf saying anti-bac hand gel is restricted to 5 per person. I’m not convinced they’ve ever sold anti-bac hand gel.

Thankfully Waitrose and the Co-op are much more civilised. The only thing in short supply seems to be UHT milk and neither store seemed fuller than normal.

I was about to post that one! - great minds think alike!

Lots of toilet rolls in Lidl this morning.

You do get a better and more civilised class of customer in Lidl, though

How long before some wag has a sign in his van ‘No toilet rolls kept in this van overnight’ ?!!

Already seen that one Jennifer, scribbled in the dust on a whote van.

Supermarkets are having a great time cashing in - 'laughing all the way to the bank' as my mother would have said
