Re: Are You, Or Have You Ever Been A Panic Buyer?

I do not panic buy. At this time of year I do - gradually - stock the freezer and store cupboards in case of bad weather conditions -but that is all.

I'm always amazed at the amount of shoppers at supermarkets (buying food) not so much on Christmas Eve, but on Boxing Day.
No, have never Panic bought anything in my life. If it is on the shelf, all well and good, if it isn't, too bad.

Re: Are You, Or Have You Ever Been A Panic Buyer?

I've never seen shortages over here, though I've stocked up on water, batteries, and gasoline for the generator before major hurricanes.

I wouldn't call it panic buying but I have seen people line up around the block for purchasing items in Russia, though when I asked them what the line was for, most people didn't know. You bought what you could and would resell items for things you needed down the line.

Does Black Friday Christmas shopping count? I've seen plenty of that!

Never did see the need to overstock with the exception of gasolene. I make sure I have a full tank before any major snowstorm.

I have a generator so I neve have to use it.

My investment ensures that the city supply never goes down.
