Emptying the freezer as we go along... prefer fresh from the farm shop which is now open.

c15 rolls of loo paper... thats enough for a year for me, or two weeks for Charlotte!

Well, given we didn't panic buy....

I have two tins of corned beef.
A tin of chick peas
A tin of stewed steak and kidney
A tin of chilli
A carton of UHT treated milk

The last three items having been bought for my brother in lawy.

Nothing else although I find we're much better stocked, mostly as I tend to buy stuff when I'm out then Ocado delivers it anyway.

Still got loads of toilet paper and kitchen roll, but that was my normal buy anyway.

Didn't panic buy, bought a few extra bits in January and just bought as normal after that.
Cupboards are at normal levels.

Whiskey cupboard took a massive hit. As did the beer fridge. Beer fridge restocked though.

I specifically didn’t stock pile loo roll as I though it might encourage some conservative usage, nope

I even asked the question “WTF do you use it for?” Still none the wiser.

You took the time to zoom in for the flavour! I saw brown and yellow and thought beef and tomato. I will look next time at the supermarket. It's a new one on me. Zero sausage content.

We did not panic buy at all, never had more that 24 loo rolls in the house (5 adults), which is just the normal pack size when we shop.
Thorough-out the peak the only real problem we had was buying flour and yeast and pasta, but even then we never ran out.

I didn't panic buy, had 8 rolls already as had recently bought a pack, and for me on my own would have lasted 8months, then took the other half in (don't ask, long story) told her she could only come to stay as long as she bought her own bog roll, so she bought her9 which lasted easilly till stocks were back in the stores, only downside is looks like I'm stuck with her till end of Aug as she can't go back till then.

We didn't do panic buying.

Fishmonger never closed
Butcher never closed
Greengrocer never closed
Bakery never closed
Boulangerie never closed

The wine shops did, but we've got a stock of that :)

I didn't panic buy, and didn't actually buy a new freezer, which packed up in October, until the end of April. So not even stocked that yet.
