Market Friday - Panic Buying - Coronavirus
I popped into my local town for a few items and then went along to do my weekly supermarket shop.
Unfortunately, because of the outbreak of the coronavirus everyone is panic buying and hoarding. Toilet roll, pasta, soap, paracetomol are all flying off the shelves!
The trouble is, people who aren't panic buying are left with nothing. When new stock arrives, they might buy twice the amount just in case they can't get any for awhile. It is having a ripple effect.
I've just purchased my usual groceries but this panic buying is enough to give me a headache. If only I could find some paracetomol ......

I know, it's a headache, isn't it? I hope it will settle down after a week or two - everyone who needed to panic buy has done so. I like that some supermarkets have introduced priority times for elderly and vulnerable people to shop and get additional support.
I just wonder where they're all putting it?? I only have a small flat so space is limited lol.
I know - crazy!

Thank you very much!
Oh!! I hope you found some by now!!! You don't want to be without in this season.
Your #MarketFriday was so appropriate!! I did the same for mine! :) There is literally nothing left on the shelves for three weeks now. What are they doing with all of this food? Sometimes I think they rent a storage shed for it and horde it there!
God help us all and I hope that we all come out winners in this battle or at the very least, in an upward way.
Thanks again for being part of the challenge!!!
#MarketFriday loves you!
