Asda and Sainsbury's too.
Asda and Sainsbury's too.Tesco limiting customers to three of one item from tomorrow (not sure if that’s very item or those being emptied)
Anyone know what is happening with deliveries, can't find any info online. If you can actually book a slot and get an order in are they picking your order overnight when there's actually stock or is the van going to turn up and you get about three things from your order as everything else was out of stock?
Ocado have taken their website down till Saturday. Everyone else has at least 3 weeks booked up I think.Anyone know what is happening with deliveries, can't find any info online.

But how do they know who is vulnerable. I've done a click and collect for a weeks time but its for my Mum and Dad who are in their 80s, can't go to the store and got completely confused when they tried to do it online. How do they know its for them and not me?I'm almost certain all online deliveries are completely booked out for weeks to come. I think they're trying to do special deliveries for the vulnerable.
They are advising people to use click and collect to ease the pressure in store. As click and collect is usually done first thing.

Not libertarian shmmeee, but why can’t the supermarkets ration certain items, it’s not hard ?
If I was the government I would be requesting the supermarkets to do this if they aren’t doing it (and enforce it if not) though
Heard from someone in Hughes today that chest freezers were selling out fast. Makes you despair for the human race.
Yes it’s an ideal way to store valuable protein if things get really bad.Thats for hiding the bodies of relatives you've strangled after being stuck in the house together for a fortnight
Yeah and tbf when I nipped in my local co op it was pretty well stocked.DELIVERY TIP: deliveroo are delivering from my local co-op....and a quick Google suggests many co-ops...seems like a good alternative option.
Said in a previous post. I have pen friends around the world. This week I have had letters from France, Italy, the US, Germany, Italy, Norway and Australia.Everyone who stockpiled toilet roll have no real idea why...the herd mentality of humans can be real stupid sometimes.
Lots of eggs and cheese should do the trick for a few days.Said in a previous post. I have pen friends around the world. This week I have had letters from France, Italy, the US, Germany, Italy, Norway and Australia.
All saying the same thing. Toilet roll!! Everyone bulk buying, everyone going crazy stockpiling and supermarkets shelves empty.
Numptiness is not exclusively a UK thing seemingly.
All I've bought from Sainsbury's is breakfast biscuits, jelly babies, and scotch eggs, so not sure I fancy them scaling that up to a fifty quid order!In this modern age of data harvesting, there must be a way of checking people’s loyalty cards. Tesco, Sainsbury ect know exactly what you’ve bought week in week out for the last few years. All of a sudden someone is buy 100 loo rolls & mega packs of beans it should flash up a big alarm at the till & shame them into putting stuff back!
I was unable to book a delivery from Morrisons this afternoon.I happened to set my elderly parents up with online deliveries from Morrisons just before the virus outbreak as dad was getting so frail and his driving not so good. Seems to work quite well, they phone me their order and I do the online ordering for them. There’s about a two week delay at the moment and a few restrictions on certain products but otherwise it’s a godsend.

Foodbanks shut in Coventry as staff and supplies dwindle in grip of coronavirusIn the coming months there is going to be tons of out of date food chucked or the obesity rate will go through the roof...on a positive note foodbanks may get a shitload donated to them.
No cat food in tesco earlier. Good job I panic bought15kg of dog food is usually around £20. Prices shot up to 40 now and hard to find.
Should have got the cat to do it, they would have been chilled as fook.No cat food in tesco earlier. Good job I panic bought

The next two weeks were taken and the first daytime £2 slot I could get was April 1st. The demand is probably a lot less here compared to big city like Cov. In my local Waitrose today, shelves not too bad but puzzled that all loo rolls gone but plenty of kitchen rolls? This demand for loo rolls doesn’t bother me, I can remember using strips of newspaper so will go back to that if really needed. Daily Mail is ideal.I was unable to book a delivery from Morrisons this afternoon.

So I assume they make up a large amount of Trump's diet.
Reminds me of the bloke who went to the Doctors because his manhood had gone orange since he lost his job. The Doctor was baffled when the bloke assured him that he hadn’t been anywhere to catch anything because all he had done since he was made redundant was stay at home watching porn and eating Wotsits.I used to to get Polish Cheetos from Asda. They were so much cheesier than the normal versions or Wotsits. My fingers were luminous orange for days after.
There was a foodbank collection place outside Tesco at Jubilee Crescent the other day. I gave them quite a few tins.Really hope this has just been a shock to the supermarkets and they can ramp up capacity pretty quick.
Came to post this. Absolute shame. People buying ten times the food they need and also stopping donating.
That's excellent. Well done them.Fair play to home bargains for their statement as well.
Going to pay all their staff, if staff aren't off they get a 2 week pay bonus so it's fair.
