I have a very full chest freezer, plenty of meat, fish, veg, frozen fruit, prepared fresh sauces, as well as a fridge freezer with breaded fish, oven chips, burgers, B's SW meals, ice cream etc. I have cereals, rice, pasta, herbs, tinned tomatoes, beans, jam, marmite, tinned fruit, flour, sugar, tea etc in my pull-out larder and kitchen cupboards.

This is usual though, not because of potential shortages.

I won't be stockpiling anything.
Like Saundra says, it's a self fulfilling prophecy.
If everyone panics and clears the shelves - yes, there will be shortages.
In other news, don't go out after dark after we leave the EU or the bogeyman is sure to get you. :roll: :roll:

Same as Kaz, it's something we've done for years. Regarding the beans, it's not that we eat more than the average, just E can't resist a bargain, he would hate to pay 'full' price. He's just as bad with instant coffee, we have 6 big jars in the cupboard most of the time and because we always drink the fresh stuff for brekkie we only have one cup of instant a day :lol:

And Bert, bung in a few choc digestives as well Twixes, Mars bars and Haribo bags for the kids. Cheers doll.

Chips! I almost forgot chips. Them too, and maybe a few bags of chicken nuggets.

I agree, it goes without saying that there'll be shortages if people are stockpiling non-perishables etc.

I don't want to offend anyone but I think it's a bit unfair that people are doing that and I do worry that it's going to have a knock-on effect with food banks if there aren't enough items on the shelf for personal purchases let alone for people to stick a few jars or tins in the collection container. This panic buying will hit the poor who either rely on food banks or have to stick to a tight budget and can't afford to stock up on extras just in case.
