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.

  • I cannot really offer any useful suggestions, as the closest I've ever got to panic-buying was during the height of the Covid pandemic, when my son and I were keen to avoid frequent shopping excursions. I found myself bulk-buying a 1-to-2 month supply of toilet rolls and long life milk (things that we tend to get through quite quickly in this house). Other stuff would be bought as and when it was needed, and at most we would probably only buy 2 or 3 of.
