Not a trolley, but I've seen one man with a car boot full. I was going to call him a rude name, but then I decided not to because he might have been to one of the cash and carries mentioned above and not unloaded since, or he might be a volunteer delivering many people's shopping. You never know.


or he might have got agressive and given you a knuckle sandwich

Thwere's only 2 of us so when we last stocked up with a 9-roll pack, when they were on offer, the "crisis" passed us by. Well, almost - we were offered a pack in a supermarket last week, so we took it, then dropped it off at my daughter's house on the way home (her 4 year old is now using the look, she runs out fast!)

We never have less than 18

Chrohns is a disease where frequent, extended sessions of diarrhoea mean that a stock of soft loo roll is an essential item

Down to my last one now.

I shall go to my local corner shop and take a pack from the huge stack of toilet rolls which have been outside on the pavement every day ever since this pseudo-shortage began.

Restocked as of this morning at Morrisons (Rubery), plenty in stock.

Couldn't get kitchen rolls however, the kitchen roll shelves were full of - toilet rolls!

popped in at Aldi in Streatham just to have a look and they had tons of them. But no bread flour, infact the shelf for flour was almost empty and very small in area, I suppose Aldi people dont do much cooking?

Hi,
We had more that fifty to start but that is normal for us.
Probably about 20 or so left.
When heinz tomato soup is on offer (50p/can) we buy 3-6 months worth, expiry is normally a year.

You've used 30 bog rolls from?

That's about 2 years worth for us.

I guesstimated :mrgreen: We have at least 35 left, it does really depend what you buy too.
I did a mini survey sometime back, as economy varies dramatically.
Lidl "simply" six pack is a good buy, but take a close look at the quilting, if none no good! they sometimes swap suppliers and it can be a bit naff, ripping all over the place before you get some sheets off.
So when in stock I bulk buy, but I have been doing this for several years, My shopping habits have not changed at all since lock down.
Its probably that that a lot off shoppers shop everyday of the week?

I used to have all sorts of problems with my guts. In the end I spent months keeping food diaries until I finally discovered the culpirt.
Soya.

To make it worse for a while I thought it was dairy so I swapped it all out for soya...
I can tolerate small amounts with no issues, but eat enough and it takes the best part of a week for my guts to recover. No idea what it's doing in there.
It's hard stuff to avoid too, gets into everything.
