Panic and buying

Robert124

I need help, I just keep panic buying and stocking up.

There was COVID, I kept buying because I was afraid that there would be a total shutdown and I would run out of essentials.

Now prices are going up so I'm buying stuff while it's cheap.

I've been doing a stock check this morning.

11 bars of soap.

3 bottles of liquid soap.

8 tubes of toothpaste.

7 manual toothbrushes

5 battery powered toothbrushes

32 loo rolls.

3 bottles of washing up liquid.

4 bottles of bubble bath.

All cupboards in kitchen filled with food.

Now I'm of shopping.  Apparently poundstrecher are closing down and there is a half price sale.

  • Are you able to set yourself a minimum and maximum stock level?  At work we tell the ordering department the minimum and maximum amount of each item we need in stock and they only order the exact amount needed when we need it. Do you know how often you use each item and then you can work out whether it’s something you need to buy weekly or fortnightly or monthly so you’re not going shopping unnecessarily in between. Or do online grocery shopping with the specific items in mind. I have issues with impulsive buying. I spend at least £30 more on the weekly shop if I do it myself in comparison to when I do Tescos click and collect, it’s harder to browse the websites outside of what’s on your list
