Wonder if we've peaked panicked. No more than usual waiting to go into canley s/b today. Bread, eggs, milk and loo rolls available (though the latter not full). Veg sections looked full, mainly the likes of baked beans still empty.
I think it’s just a lottery when you go In. Shelves get stocked and they empty at a very much quicker rate

I got the promise of a blowjob if I came home from the shops with a bag of pasta. And that was just my next door neighbour, Hazel.
I tried to make it cost £69 but when she said we didn’t need bacon I failed
Just played Corona roulette, Sainsbury's was empty but the shelves are full, not much tinned, baking stuff, but loads of everything else.
£1.03 a litre of fuel now, stupidly cheap.

Funny thing is nobody is doing any miles, i might go and fill the tank up.
That's also though, last bastion of the panic buyer. Seen smallish queues at other supermarkets but it seems more civilised
Aldi down here was virtually deserted at 9.30 today. And well stocked for most things, seemingly. Lidl's car park was almost empty - Morrison's looked a bit busier.
Hellohellohello is driving round checking supermarket car parks an essential journey sir?
I guess a lack of demand for petrol? Somone said it's more expensive to shut down and then re-open the refining process than to give the end product away cheap. Fill 'yer boots, erm tank.

Demand is a contributory factor but it's mainly supply-side - Saudi's are dumping oil on the market as part of their oil war with US and Russia. It's been around 50 dollars pb for crude over the last two years - touched 20 dollars yesterday but is up 15-20% today on news that US and Russia are about to enter preliminary talks.
Busted!
Your honour, here's the map of my journey from home (just off the top of the map) to Aldi. Don't know how much we are obliged to go to the nearest available supermarket or if we can choose (Aldi have preferred brands of some stuff).
I was wondering this. What if I really like Waitrose stuff, at I OK to travel to Kenilworth or do I have to start shopping at Asda cos it’s closest?
That’s the class divide, Tommy!Waitrose has always practiced social distancing
Yes, read a joke somewhere that Waitrose had brought in new restrictions and were only delivering to people who lived in council tax properties F and above.
(Must admit actually like shopping in my local Waitrose)

Never shopped there but enrolled the other day to try and get an online slot but none available.
Had a browse of their website, didn't think they're as expensive as people make out.
I think they price match brands anyway but I just like the shop - bright and airy, never seems crowded and lots of high quality and ethical stuff.
A bit more than some, but their "Essentials" range is just as cheap as you'll get anywhere, and their pizzas are FINE. They sell quite a lot of specialist (aka poncey) items, which command a premium.
Flour definitely in short supply because of all the people who panic bought bread which went mouldy and is now in the green bin - we freeze all our bread which means a couple of loaves can last a fair time ( there’s only two of us)! Our farm shop has 12kg bag of flour if you need it for those regular bakers - yeast was short but now available local to here
People can live without bread surely?
Have batches instead
