    Is this the end of panic buying? Tesco store returns to normal | Metro News

    Apparently supermarkets are getting back to normal.

    I heard last week it would take about 2 weeks.
    I was hoping this would be the case too...we had our Ocado order arrive today but even though we have a reserved slot I'm not expecting to be able to get one for at least a month so will likely have to brave the shops end of next week.

      Glad to see my local Tesco getting into the news, at least!

        My local Tesco was in the news due the panic buying queues.

        Though I've only brought alcohol there since I saw them storing food outside one Christmas and then found out a year later the local Environment Health department had fined them for rodent issues amongst other things....

          Yes it is categorically a life saver - without it people around me will die!

          I got an extra kilo of beans for "stock pilling" so this make my current total of coffee to be 2.5kg beans / 7lb of ground / c.50 nespresso pods

          Will it last the full 12 weeks, we shall see...

            B&Q will open for the sale of essentials - not everything. At least that's what their website seems to say. The recreational aspect of going to the shops has to be shut down.
            Thanks for the top tip. I'll nip round there then. Remind me, where in Switzerland are you exactly?

              there was a sell off of Starbucks coffee beans at £1 a couple of weeks ago. I have a few KG.

                Strolled down to the bakers this morning, got some nice fresh baked bread, stopped off at a small supermarket on the way back and picked up some sausages but still no sign of toilet paper
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  I believe our local store has some, small shops are definitely the places to look. Corner shops and the like.

                    There's some depths I simply can't go to.

                      I actually quite like their expresso & medium roast. The Tchibo stuff is pretty good as well.

                      what would you prefer?
