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.

  • My stash of "preps" keeps going off. You need to rotate them into your life regularly.

    I've got five packets of plain chocolate hobnobs that taste really weird one year after their expiry date... I thought those would keep really well. Old jelly babies are quite nice though. (I long ago figured out that unless you can afford MRE's prepping with groceries was a waste of time, but if you are the only man around with sweets, you should be able to make a trade for useable calories...
