What to stock up.

Robert124

With the war continuing, the question becomes what to stock up?

When Covid came we all stocked up toilet paper.  Now I hope for more mature common sense.

  1. Toilet paper.
  2. Candles 
  3. Batteries 
  4. Bottled water.
  5. Long life food such as tins, dry pasta.
  6. Toothpaste.   In Battlestar Galactic the entire human race ran out of toothpaste after a few years of war.
  7. Physical money in case the Internet goes down and cards and money transfers don't work.
  8. Cleaning products.
  9. Warm clothes.

I welcome suggestions.

  • I don't believe we are anywhere near needing this. It wasn't necessary in COVID times, people panicked and caused a problem through that panic. 

    If things took a turn for the worse and it looked like the UK was going to be a target then I would definitely practical things like batteries, torches/battery powdered lamps and toilet paper. I would also get some power banks and make sure they were fully charged so I would be able to run my phone for longer if the power went. Safe foods (long lasting ones) would be a definite and I would make sure I had plenty of things like dry pasta and a full freezer. I pretty much always have a big stack of books to get though but I'd make sure this was particularly big. Might also get some things like jigsaws to keep me occupied if it was going to be a lockdown type situation. Maybe even a nice Lego set.
