Panic buying hits DKH Sainsburys

[gromit316]

Shop cleared out at 11.30 am

No cleaning products at all only floor wipes and polish.

Pasta all gone. Drinks all gone.

Beans tomatoes all gone it disgusting.

There was andrax toilet roll but it was cleared out when a greedy woman got 25 16 roll packs

Even all the cornflakes are gone.

Its not fair to people who just get a few bits every week and who eat basic food as it is..

Morrisons is the same

When this happens why can management not step in and put a stop to it.

But then most of the managers I have seen are mostly very young and no doubt would see the end of their career if they did.

Managers should project power.

[beansprout]

No pasta, rice, tinned tomatoes, frozen meat & fish limited,canned pulses & fish also limited. Plenty of fresh fruit and veg. Even sweet biscuits almost zero.

One does wonder how the elderly are managing or going to manage.

Didn?t get an answer about stock levels when I asked so no idea if above will be on shelves tomorrow.

How does one person need 400 rolls of loo paper???

Anyone would think we've been hit by the plague. Total mass hysteria!

Dogs & cats, living together!

Morrison?s was fine this morning at 11am. Only hand sanitiser shelf empty. These hoarders obviously don?t get up early!

[JohnL]

Morrison's OK Sunday at 11:00 also.

The chaos continues and clearly the algorithm can't make head nor tail of what is happening or people are buying for "the end of the world", and busy as hell in there this lunchtime

Currently no loo rolls, no flour, hardly any sweet biscuits, minimal soup, no pasta, little bleach, minimal kitchen rolls, reduced jam, etc.

I wonder with all these people buying food products including flour and pasta, will they just horde them till they go out of date or fall in love with making bread and cooking again.

This could just be the start of a cure for obesity in the UK with people eating a better diet !

Or will they just call a delivery service and feel smug that they can survive the zombie apocalypse with their horde of tinned and dried goods.

They won't be able to horde via a delivery service, at least if all the supermarkets are like Tesco.

I couldn't even get my cupboards back to the stock level they were before Christmas, because virtually everything is limited - you can only order a max number of items.

I don't know what would happen if you did a number of separate orders and ordered the max on each of them, but it would cost you a lot in delivery charges!

Cop-Op has now put up a limit of 3 rolls per purchase after their shelves were wiped - cleaning products too.

... their shelves do tend to look a little sparse at the best of times though.

[Spartacus]

Sorry Sue

I was implying that whilst they have hoarded loads of yummy food to cook, they would be using services to get their McDonald's take away delivered , not supermarket delivery services...

[twinhunters]

So silly to panic buy , I?d actually run out of loo rolls and went to 3 shops before I could buy some 1 pk of 9 I should add 🤣.and if things get bad a shout out on this lovely forum I?m sure someone would come to your rescue . Stay safe wash hands after every trip out . I wondered why the panic buying of toilet rolls apparently they are saying after hand washing dry with disposable tissue not towels.

[singalto]

I needed cat food so popped into Sainsburys DKH. I was surprised to see that it wasn?t just pasta, rice and loo rolls that had disappeared from the shelves but also cat food and litter, toothpaste and sanitary products! Weird...

[spider69]

update

1130 today Shelves empty.

.

[creditwheredue]

The one up by the library has pet food and toothpaste, no bog rolls though.

[DulwichFox]

Pasta (dried) lasts for up to 2 years I would of thought that most people that

eat Pasta will be well stocked up. No need to Panic.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Please can people stop stockpiling bog roll. I'm genuinely running low now and shelves are empty.

[dbboy]

Had loo roll later yesterday afternoon

Worst case scenario, cat food is suitable for human consumption. I doubt that Whiskas Risotto is going to be a thing anytime soon but y'know, if you can't get any pasta...

[singalto]

Exdulwicher, thanks for the suggestion! 😂 I wasn?t buying pasta, rice, flour or bog rolls!

[jonnywalker]

if you are panic buying please don't forget your condiments

Yes, I was in there at 3pm when they were putting them out on Thursday.

[DulwichFox]

I have had NO problem getting hold of Toilet Rolls and Kitchen Towels.

From Sainsbury's and the Co-op.

People need to stop being so Melodramatic.

There is no shortage.
