Did my big shop last week when I felt the impending doom. I also have Abel & Cole & Riverford on my weekly roll so at least I had backup. My worry is most fruit/veg/salads comes from Spain how is this going to work from now on?

Everyone is going to have to live on beef and potatoes for the next few months, poor vegans

Surely supermarkets should be limiting how much a person can buy in the current pandemonium.

If you rock up with a trolley full of bog roll should questions not be asked

Local Ag store sold 17k of small bagged livestock and horse feed/bedding in 2 hours this morning, normally be more like 2k an hour on a Sunday.

By close of business today their feed store was all but empty of cattle/sheep/ horse and pig feed, they were fully stocked as per normal on Friday afternoon.

People who come in and buy say 4/5 bags a feed a week are coming in and taking a tonne instead.

Apparently in some places people are now stock piling fuel in jerry cans!

Our co-op was pretty well stocked, which is unusual as often there are spaces.
We bought toilet rolls,(we had run out!)
I watched a woman come out and take off disposable gloves (WITH HER MOUTH) FFS
