Stockpiling - post lock down

I'm still adjusting to doing just one fortnightly online shop, rather than having one weekly visit to the supermarket, and that online order is limited to 80 items (at least 10 of which have been bananas in most deliveries bcause they are counted individually)!

It's hard to judge exactly how long the things we have, such as coffee, will last, so I do find myself ordering things that might run out, just in case, whereas I normal times I wouldn't need to do that.

I have not deliberately stockpiled anything. We are still only half way through the large pack of toilet rolls that I bought at the start of March, and as yet, I haven't bought any more.

I do have quite a lot of milk and bread in the freezer, but that was just to be sure that we would have enough to see us through another couple of weeks if the supermarket failed to deliver either if those in the fortnightly deliveries. Is that stockpiling? I don't think so - just normal planning for someone who lives out in the countryside without shops nearby, and certainly not enough to feel that I have ever deprived anyone else of these foods.

Toilet rolls. I won’t say how many.
They weren’t bought from a supermarket, I have an account with a stationery company and they only supply large volumes.

Ive never stock piled but have always had a store cupboard which my mum always had so I picked that up from her. Its a pity the supermarkets didnt stop people from stock piling when the virus first hit then there would be enough goods to go round.

I had a store cupboard of tins and other essentials like tea coffee and uht milk before lockdown because some winters our village gets snowed/iced in. When we moved here our neighbours warned us to have a few bits and bobs stored in case we couldn't get out for a week or so in mid winter. I've just used that and restocked it as and when. It's not like the massive stockpiles that some people bought in a panic earlier this year.

I have just opened my second last pack of 24 toilet rolls from Brexit stockpile ...

I'm shopping for three different households. I have never stockpiled but I have a very full shopping trolley each time I shop and have several loaves and milks in my freezer!

I am finding that i'm so concerned about shopping for the others that I have very little in my own cupboards.

You can guarantee that as soon as I struggle out of the supermarket I will get a text message asking for yet another item that wasn't on the list. grrr
