Name the one thing that you might stockpile...

Oats.

1K = 10 meals at least.

kidney beans

Long life milk. Can't manage without a cuppa.

milk,tea bags

I second Dr Crippen and have 5kg of oats in reserve.

free advice
stock up on toilet rolls before the oats,

flour

Disappointing that any such thread could appear on Chit Chat without mention of Frey Bentos Pies

are they ring pull lids

Coffins, mainly cardboard ones.

5p bags so everyone has to carry stuff by hand

not one to stockpile  but if plenty available  will buy in  beer, tea bags and coffee because i see the price of those 3 going through the roof ...

i have a good supply of lentils though

Drink Baccy Teabags Milk Soap T rolls

10kg bag of rice

i also have a few boxes of scotts porridge oats and some  cheper own brand bags of oatslong life milk.

20 Oxo cubes would make a good Stockpile.

I know some wont agree and just say

Knoor.

Shotgun shells - nobody's getting there hands on my bog rolls.

Library books

I read this thread and was feeling rather smug as I have loads of toilet rolls, tissues, kitchen towels and a full freezer and cupboards.  This is because I only shop online and have it delivered when they send me a voucher, say £9 off £60.  This means, as I live alone, that sometimes I can't make £60 without getting more toilet rolls etc that don't have a shelf life and also it makes me check that I have got everything and more than everything as I won't probably be shopping for a month or two, apart from fruit and veg etc. 

So I couldn't think of anything, but then I thought about my library books.  I am allowed 20 at a time and I haven't taken lots back, but now i think to say if the library closes - oh no I know I could buy them, but it seems a waste of money.  I haven't ordered any for a long time as well, getting through the last lot of reservations,  so now I am going to order loads and get organised.

I might add that I have also got loads of books in my 'library' but most of them are 'classics' and non fiction that I am keeping for a rainy day - it could start raining soon.

Fresh water, porridge oats, some salt, soft toilet paper and suppositories for piles.

Sardines in tomato sauce.

At 31p/tin at Lidl, how can anyone afford not to stockpile them?

Also noticed that my garden is stockpiling dandelions for me. So that's incredibly nutritious meat (sardines), fruit (tomatoes), salt (sardines), green vegetables (dandelion leaves), root vegetables (dandelion roots) and poncey stuff (dandelion flowers) all sorted.

Booze and drugs

Dig for Victory

Mint Humbugs.....

You dont need toilet rolls,just cut old cotton rags into 9 inch squares,very eco friendly.
its not so long ago that mothers used washable nappies.

The maximum is 5 ?

Latex gloves , a must for the high-risk elderly .
I'm told that during the crisis one will not be required to sign for deliveries . If correct , it makes sense .

Paracetamol .

I find cutting copies of the Guardian into useful squares a more satisfying experience.

selfish pigs !

Would love to see rationing introduced if it isn’t some good folk like myself will starve before the virus gets us

Rationing may be good for the population judging by the amount of news you hear about obesity.

how will the drug barons go on,will we have less drug use or will more go for a sniff

Precious metals and gemstones

4 items per person in the Aldi yesterday.

I was at the checkout and two blokes with beards were behind me with a trolley full of bread.

''I thought this is going to be good.''

A girl ran out and said ''only four items allowed.''

''Two of us two of us,'' came the reply.

The manager came out and started talking to them, answered by ''two of us two of us'' by this time I was almost out the door.

When I got into my car I saw the two ''beards'' walking across the car and jabbering away to each other - empty handed!

That made my day.

They buy the stuff in the supermarket then flog it in their corner shop.

Streamed Porn

Fresh pasta sauce (for the freezer) and bags of wholemeal pasta. Plus oats.

Beer!

My. Rotherham is currently in Ireland. He sent a text asking which countries he could get a drink in a pub. I told him England and Ireland! And that he was a dope. Ireland might have closed pubs officially but you can bet your bottom Euro you can get a drink in a country pub where he is thankfully. Do you really think pubs will be shut on Paddys Day?

My brother that is

If they just eat packet pasta I doubt they will be needed if as many toilet rolls starch!

I couldn't believe the other day when I went to book a delivery slot with Sainsbury's. I usually arrange it on a Sunday night to be delivered on the following Tuesday, but with no football I decided to do it on Saturday, however; nothing was available until Thursday! It made sense in the current climate so I booked my slot on Thursday, but when I went on there today, not only have the next few days been wiped out, but the next few weeks have been fully booked too... there is currently not a single slot available for three whole weeks!

Library books are surely likely to spread infection between borrowers, aren't they?

no bog roll or flour in morrisons, morpeth. . got more beer though ( more importantly )

I paid a nicker for a tin of tomatoes today

But am making a huge pot of a*rse burner level Chilli with loads of chillies, garlic, ginger and onions.

Works better than Domestos

The maximum is 5 ?

My public library lets me borrow 20, Facts!  I was shocked the first time they told me. 

Not only 20, but you can renew them online if you haven't read them by the due date. I also reserve them online for 60p each and when you consider how much they can cost when the hardback comes out, it is a bargain.  That reminds me, I must reserve the latest Hilary Mantel!

I must admit that has crossed my mind, Ramruna

Thanks, GEESUSS

We're all gonna need a spare Oxygen canister handy... And when i say all, i mean some of us.

I need to venture out, for powdered milk, instant coffee, instant noodles, potatoes in a tin and rice

I have just been in my local Iceland, half the shelfs and fridges are empty

If the coronavirua don't get us, we could well starve to death

The chap on the checkout said don't touch the keypad for my card, contactless only.

and passing the Doctor I could see big signs outside saying STOP

Wife went to ASDA, to purchase some spaghetti... Empty shelves... Lucky someone was hoarding 600 packs of spaghetti up the shed.

Not sure if any toilet rolls available

I was in Lidl this afternoon for some bananas, high energy bread (much cheaper/tastier) and Easter eggs. As I was walking past an aisle I did not need one of the staff restocking toilet rolls caught my eye; it was Cushelle 24 roll-pack. Obviously I bought one (limited to one per customer), and felt extremely embarrassed as I walked home with it (I did not take the car); the look I got from passers-by/other shoppers that I eventually went into a shop for bin bags to hide them, but not before another shopper asked where I'd got them.

The meat display were 3/4 empty; no pasta or rice; very limited bread; even biscuits and ice-cream were over bought. I've never seen/witnessed anything like that. I think it ought be be deemed unlawful to panic-buy.

I hope the barstewards who panicked-buy deserve what karma is upon them.
