My daughters Asda in Brighton has no toilet rolls left. Shelves steipped bare. Sounds like panic buying. Has anyone else experienced this?

Common sense is a fallacy.

Common sense? There's nothing common about it.
Good to see in Morrisons today, pallets of loo rolls on special offer. Buy whatever you need, the sign said. I didn't see any kind of panic buying.

I was just doing my Sainsburys online order and checking that we’ve got toilet roll only to find I’ve also got 6 roll-on deodorants, 4 tubes of toothpaste and 8 bars of soap squirrelled away upstairs. I’m not stockpiling, honest, I just add certain staples automatically. I’ve deleted them from this week’s order anyway. And I’ve already got 7 rolls of TP, that’ll do for us!

I'm afraid we can plead all we like but these idiots will continue their selfish behaviour whatever we say. The only way it can be controlled is with some kind of rationing in the stores.

I had my Tesco delivery n Thursday night, everything I ordered, including toilet rolls. Oh, sorry, didn`t get my tub of buttery spread.

Its very depressing. I've no intention of joining in. I hope shops all ration quickly.

At least they are limiting early this time LuckyGirl

My Asda click and collect order has the info that toilet rolls are rationed for each customer. Here we go again!

Oh please not again. Whatever happened to good old British common sense? I did buy one extra bag of self raising flour as we are approaching the dumpling and suet crust season which, I hope is acceptable, didn't think one extra bag would contribute towards a shortage!

I had ordered bread flour from Tesco for yesterday's delivery, none available! ?

Davidhs Sat 26-Sep-20 20:14:18

Supermarkets here are rationing T rolls and flour already, don’t panic, don’t panic.

It's not even panic buying though.
It's being bloody greedy, and grasping, and looking after number 1, above and beyond anyone else.

Where toilet rolls are concerned, I think its about looking after number 2s as well, MissAdventure.

Sorry, I couldn't resist grin

MissAdventure Sat 26-Sep-20 20:08:47

Our local shop has ominously empty shelves.

BlueBelle Sat 26-Sep-20 20:05:57

Thankfully Morrison’s and I think Tesco are limiting them I haven’t looked yet got half a dozen left if they run out I ll just have to buy the Daily fail and do what we did when I was a kid

BlueSky Sat 26-Sep-20 20:05:21

Still plenty well displayed in prominent places, but soon to change I guess as soon as they read that people are stocking up and loo rolls again! As said before supermarkets must step in now.
