Re: Self Isolation Supplies
Gin!
We are out in the sticks and I have always had a well stocked cupboard and larder (and bar
) I bought extra toilet rolls months and months ago because I read there was a paper pulp shortage and there may be supply problems. We were in Asda and Tesco yesterday and you'd have thought the end of the world was nigh! A lot of empty shelves, no rice or pasta to be had anywhere and no toilet rolls. A guy in Asda wheeled in a new pallet of toilet rolls and they were gone within 2 minutes!
I was in our local charity shop today looking at the books and the guy behind the counter was saying he was in Tesco and saw a guy pushing his trolley and another guy reached over and lifted something out of his trolley and put it in his own because he had two of them!!

Re: Self Isolation Supplies
Over the last three weeks I have stocked my pantry and freezer to feed my wife and I for six weeks. I live in a hurricane zone, so I usually keep two weeks of non-perishable good on hand in the Summer.It cost nothing to have long shelf life food in the pantry rather than in the grocery store, it is just a matter of when you pay for it.
After this is over, I will draw the supply back down to two weeks. No harm, no foul. (unless of course if I die of the virus, I will have pissed away a lot of money that I planned to take with me)
