"We are stressing we will be limited to our normal monthly shop, we buy big every month because it is what my family requires pkus we are monthly paid but to some it will definitely look like we are stock piling and I think those who buy monthly will be limited too. Some supermarkets are stating 2 pks per family but some families have 3, some 4 some bigger so this could be a problem for some i think as everyone will be limited to buying for 2 when their family is much bigger Not to mention we will be buying for 4 at home plus my older kids, daughter has baby and sons mrs expecting baby and so we dojng thier shopping too. At the same time will also have to try limit our outdoor exposure too so as not to pass on the spread to others, our kids and grandkids . 3 trips to each shop per family.

You don't need to do a month's shopping at once, so don't "Might need to do over couple of days, we live month to month,so defo need a shop in it's how we've done it for years plus kids off, growing kids, boredom will kick in very soon and start munching thier way through stuff and if they do total shut down, there will more restriction to come on foods. As it is there is very little choice and our butcher will also be closing shop soon. So need to make sure we good for at least a month taking into consideration our older kids raid our cupboards and freezer aswell.  | |||

"The Germans use the term "hamsterkauf" to describe panic buying. Hoard shopping in the way a hamster hoards food. I love that, makes it sound so much more fun

I get paid monthly and I would shop weekly if I had the storage space to do so. Never done a monthly shop. The shopping limits being implemented now (a bit late but still) will make it harder to do so anyway. My gran is in her 80s - if she got distressed in the supermarket because she couldn't get her few essentials due to people trying to stock up for a month and taking everything, I'd be furious. | |||

"I understand what you’re saying but take it up with the greedy supermarkets who allowed morons to walk out with trolleys full of loo roll when this all started. They are the greedy morons who allowed it to get in this state in the first place. Having a go at people trying g to do their best for their family is not going to magically get stuff in the shelves for the elderly. I shop weekly and have been doing shopping for my ex for several weeks as she has health conditions. I’m not happy about shlepping round 17 shops in 3 different towns to get what I need for the week either. But that’s down to the shops for allowing people to do this in the first place. All these stores saw was extra profit. But then it got out of hand and now they’re all bleating. " I don't disagree that the stores failed to react fast enough to try and minimise this problem. At least they are doing something now. But it is on us to act sensibly and not only think about ourselves but the wider community. We all need to change our usual habits for the time being to get through this crisis. | |||

And if you actually think about it, 4 x weekly shop you will not only spend more you will also but more over the corse of a month. Im £600 a month for my monthly shop. Thats only £150 a week. Im positive you weekly shoppers spend that buying foods, milks breads pasta rice etc.... Do correct me if I'm wrong | |||
"Been paid monthly the majority of my adult life and never once done a monthly shop. Never found fresh fruit that kept a whole month either."

I have a food budget, I get paid monthly but I still do a small weekly shop on a friday for freezer and cupboard stuff plus meals for the next few days, and then top up fresh stuff throughout the week as needed (small fridge and not much cupboard space). Unless it's absolutely vital for you to do a monthly shop, like for example living somewhere remote, I don't understand why you can't adapt temporarily to help ease the problem.

Now that restrictions are in place you'll be limited on items anyway."See when we buy monthly the only top up essentials we have to buy weekly is milk. That means more for everyone else when stock up weekly. Not sure what part I'm still being selfish, the part where I'd rather go out once to do a shop and not 4 times since we in isolations or the part where feeding my kids healthy food ?? The only way to beat this virus is to keep healthy and build immunity but can't do that eating shit and that's a fact. Another thing since all the panic shoppers have stock piled past few weeks, doing our monthly shop we will be limited to a certain amount for all. No matter if you have a small or big family. Tough shit for us as big families will be limited to the same as smaller families and your assuming I'm being selfish no fairness in that though. Bigger families have more mouths to feed. So everyone being limited anyway why is everyone panicking if one person does a monthly shop ffs get a grip. As most have said they do regular runs to shops weekly and I'm assuming it's more than once or twice a week whereas we get everything that's needed for a month to last the month so won't be popping out to shops to restock. | |||

" You don't need to do a month's shopping at once, so don't Might need to do over couple of days, we live month to month,so defo need a shop in it's how we've done it for years plus kids off, growing kids, boredom will kick in very soon and start munching thier way through stuff and if they do total shut down, there will more restriction to come on foods. As it is there is very little choice and our butcher will also be closing shop soon. So need to make sure we good for at least a month taking into consideration our older kids raid our cupboards and freezer aswell.
Here's a thought....accept that nobody is going to be able to carry on doing things how they've usually done them and budget your money so you don't have to buy as much at the one time
OK so the panic buyers are stock piling and no doubt will continue daily and I've to change or reduce what foods I would usually buy monthly to a limited weekly buy for my family.... Ehhh sorry but NAW,
when the truckies stop trucking and we hit total shut down and food is limited coming into country then those who do monthly shops are screwed bascically huh shelves are emptying as it is and choice is becoming limited, my family have good healthy diets not messing with what they eat and how much because of this I need to keep thier immunity up especially now in order to beat this. So whilst people have full cupboards etc I have to stress weekly if there's proper food left in shops to buy for my family. I prefer to stress once a month not weekly.
FYI i have no problem budgeting and affording things my problem is availability .
So basically, you don't really give a fuck what's available for others and can't see how you'll be contributing to the problem
Why should people who get paid monthly be forced to change to keep you happy??? That’s one seriously selfish attitude right there!!
People HAVE to carry on as they are so wind your neck in
It's not about keeping me happy.
It's about recognising that we are all gonna have to change habits instead of selfishly thinking that we should be able to go about our lives as normal.
It's hardly a life changing adjustment switching from a monthly to a weekly shop, is it?"You know what's funny, I've not even left my house to go shopping since I'm doing my monthly shop on Wednesday and I'm being selfish lmfao. How the fuck you come to that conclusion, the shelves aren't empty because I've been out doing shopping no because I only go once a month. Its not selfish when I have 2 asthmatics in my family, one my 14 yr old son and other being my husband risking his health going out everyday to do 12 hours shifts driving trucks to England and back to make sure supermarkets and shops have stock for everyone, being ask to change contracts to deliver food to supermarkets as driver are calling in sick left right and centre .It Selfish to expect us to change our normal ways or our dietary requirements in order to stay in good health so that we do not become ill and don't make my husband ill, so everyone else can get, since he's the breadwinner in the family and his job is very important right now not just for his family but all yous in need of food to the main supermarkets hahahah. And not to forget should he become ill doing his job we will be down a family wage as most companies are not paying full pay for being off at this time, not only that if he gets sick, my son will get sick and I have to look after them plus a 6 years old, plus new grand son due in few weeks plus manage a bloody weekly shop every week and so taking steps to ensure we have full fridge, freezer and cupboards for a full month you're damn right I will as we rely on no one for help, im usually the one who's out helping . I'm in no way leaving my family without because few people think I'm selfish. Think what you want I don't give two hoots what anyone thinks of me especially ones who have never met me. You actually have so many issues with so many people but I've come to the conclusion you must have some sort of crush on me as you hop on near enough every comment I make. No doubt you will deny this | |||

"I dont have a clue why you think you have to keep defending yourself, you do what you think is right for you and your family, everyone else is doing the same regardless of how they try to berate you. You have no reason to explain to strangers either how or what your family dynamics are. Surely you know by now that some people are just trying to get a rise out of others. Last point I would say and this is by no means a dig, your shopping habits are out of your control now, there is zero chance you will go to a supermarket on Wednesday or any other single day and do a month's shopping. No matter what your circumstances the fact the shelves are empty and the availability of products will be the deciding factor on how many times you go shopping.  | |||

Last point I would say and this is by no means a dig, your shopping habits are out of your control now, there is zero chance you will go to a supermarket on Wednesday or any other single day and do a month's shopping. No matter what your circumstances the fact the shelves are empty and the availability of products will be the deciding factor on how many times you go shopping. "Thats the thing if people actually read what I've said no matter how long the comment they would have seen that I mentioned I buy my monthly meat from my local butchers every single month which fills our freezers and part of fridge , i dont buy frozen meats or foods from supermarkets lol nor do I buy tins as we don't eat processed food. So mostly buy fruits and vegs, essentials like milk breads, flours eggs etc... Etc... So hardly going to empty any shelves when i source most of my foods elsewhere so was a bit taken back why people felt the need to express how selfish I am.
And ofcorse i know people try to get a rise out of me they just don't get that I like to always have the last word | |||

"With the meat and veggies that you buy for the month, another few families could eat for the week. Things wouldn't run out the same, and you would hopefully all benefit from nourishing food the following week when fresh deliveries get in.

Excuse fucking me, we go month to month which means last time we bought food was last month. OK not every week, 4 weeks ago so everyone else been buying for 4 weeks now I have 4 weeks catching up to do.
Not over buying stock piling it's doing my normal monthly shop like I've done for 25 years
Ok, but don't you see that these are abnormal times so we all need to do our bit to make sure that there is enough stuff for everyone? Is it absolutely necessary for you to do a monthly shop instead or weekly or twice monthly? We are all having to adapt in this crisis to try and end it faster, you seem unwilling to do so.
So if I said right all of you budget so you can do a monthly shop when most do weekly shop, how would that suit you all.
And if you actually think about it, 4 x weekly shop you will not only spend more you will also but more over the corse of a month.
Im £600 a month for my monthly shop. Thats only £150 a week. Im positive you weekly shoppers spend that buying foods, milks breads pasta rice etc.... Do correct me if I'm wrong
It's not about spending more or less and I sure as hell can't afford £150 a week, it's about everyone working together until this crisis is sorted to ensure there is enough food for everyone.
I have a food budget, I get paid monthly but I still do a small weekly shop on a friday for freezer and cupboard stuff plus meals for the next few days, and then top up fresh stuff throughout the week as needed (small fridge and not much cupboard space).
Unless it's absolutely vital for you to do a monthly shop, like for example living somewhere remote, I don't understand why you can't adapt temporarily to help ease the problem. Now that restrictions are in place you'll be limited on items anyway.
See when we buy monthly the only top up essentials we have to buy weekly is milk. That means more for everyone else when stock up weekly.
Not sure what part I'm still being selfish, the part where I'd rather go out once to do a shop and not 4 times since we in isolations or the part where feeding my kids healthy food ??
The only way to beat this virus is to keep healthy and build immunity but can't do that eating shit and that's a fact.
Another thing since all the panic shoppers have stock piled past few weeks, doing our monthly shop we will be limited to a certain amount for all. No matter if you have a small or big family. Tough shit for us as big families will be limited to the same as smaller families and your assuming I'm being selfish no fairness in that though. Bigger families have more mouths to feed.
So everyone being limited anyway why is everyone panicking if one person does a monthly shop ffs get a grip.
As most have said they do regular runs to shops weekly and I'm assuming it's more than once or twice a week whereas we get everything that's needed for a month to last the month so won't be popping out to shops to restock.
"At no point have I called you selfish. I’ve stated that you seem unwilling to consider temporarily changing your buying habits and still haven’t made it clear why buying monthly is essential. You’re also still missing the point about buying weekly stuff to ensure there is more to go around. Good luck with your next monthly shop | |||

At no point have I called you selfish. I’ve stated that you seem unwilling to consider temporarily changing your buying habits and still haven’t made it clear why buying monthly is essential. You’re also still missing the point about buying weekly stuff to ensure there is more to go around. Good luck with your next monthly shop "Buying monthly is essential as i not only have 2 children at home aged 14 and 6, i look after 4 grandkids too ages 1,2,4,5, so last 2 weeks I have had a house full, which is my normal yes but its So my older kids can go to work and not rely on benefits 5th grandchild due in few weeks. So dragging 1 teen and 5 kids around shops on a normal day would be a nightmare especially weekly so hubby and i go shopping once a month when he gets day off but since this virus, kids have been off school and nursery 3 weeks now.. Kids eat food means cooking, making 3 x a day possible more, so home schooling mixed with entertaining toddlers daily, hubby at work, older kids at work and 6 kids at my home. Hubby gets day off Wednesday, son and daughters man off Wednesday, so it's our only time to go shopping whilst the older kids watch their sister and brother. We will do monthly food shop. I don't and won't have time to pee let alone get 6 kids in car which btw is illegal and trapse them round the shops to pick up weekly shopping whilst holding hands with 2yr old and carrying 1 year old and keeping eyes on 4,5 and 6 yr old plus putting kids at risk like that just wouldn't be responsible. So that's why we have to do one shop once a month because we won't get time for next 5 weeks as husband won't be off at same time as older kids, scheduled time off dont match up. Plz tell me this answers ur question. I plan well ahead. And if my husband who's asthmatic and son asthmatic get sick. Its going to be even harder. So no time to look after all kids plus shop weekly. Think. I've covered why, the where, the how I do my monthly shop. | |||
" You don't need to do a month's shopping at once, so don't Might need to do over couple of days, we live month to month,so defo need a shop in it's how we've done it for years plus kids off, growing kids, boredom will kick in very soon and start munching thier way through stuff and if they do total shut down, there will more restriction to come on foods.

Here's a thought....accept that nobody is going to be able to carry on doing things how they've usually done them and budget your money so you don't have to buy as much at the one time
OK so the panic buyers are stock piling and no doubt will continue daily and I've to change or reduce what foods I would usually buy monthly to a limited weekly buy for my family.... Ehhh sorry but NAW,

As most have said they do regular runs to shops weekly and I'm assuming it's more than once or twice a week whereas we get everything that's needed for a month to last the month so won't be popping out to shops to restock.
At no point have I called you selfish. I’ve stated that you seem unwilling to consider temporarily changing your buying habits and still haven’t made it clear why buying monthly is essential. You’re also still missing the point about buying weekly stuff to ensure there is more to go around. Good luck with your next monthly shop
Buying monthly is essential as i not only have 2 children at home aged 14 and 6, i look after 4 grandkids too ages 1,2,4,5, so last 2 weeks I have had a house full, which is my normal yes but its So my older kids can go to work and not rely on benefits 5th grandchild due in few weeks.
So dragging 1 teen and 5 kids around shops on a normal day would be a nightmare especially weekly so hubby and i go shopping once a month when he gets day off but since this virus, kids have been off school and nursery 3 weeks now.. Kids eat food means cooking, making 3 x a day possible more, so home schooling mixed with entertaining toddlers daily, hubby at work, older kids at work and 6 kids at my home.
Hubby gets day off Wednesday, son and daughters man off Wednesday, so it's our only time to go shopping whilst the older kids watch their sister and brother. We will do monthly food shop. I don't and won't have time to pee let alone get 6 kids in car which btw is illegal and trapse them round the shops to pick up weekly shopping whilst holding hands with 2yr old and carrying 1 year old and keeping eyes on 4,5 and 6 yr old plus putting kids at risk like that just wouldn't be responsible. So that's why we have to do one shop once a month because we won't get time for next 5 weeks as husband won't be off at same time as older kids, scheduled time off dont match up.
Plz tell me this answers ur question. I plan well ahead. And if my husband who's asthmatic and son asthmatic get sick. Its going to be even harder. So no time to look after all kids plus shop weekly.
Think. I've covered why, the where, the how I do my monthly shop. "Wow that's rather elaborate. Wondering how the fuck you had time to get the veris  | |||
" You don't need to do a month's shopping at once, so don't Might need to do over couple of days, we live month to month,so defo need a shop in it's how we've done it for years plus kids off, growing kids, boredom will kick in very soon and start munching thier way through stuff and if they do total shut down, there will more restriction to come on foods. As it is there is very little choice and our butcher will also be closing shop soon. So need to make sure we good for at least a month taking into consideration our older kids raid our cupboards and freezer aswell.
Here's a thought....accept that nobody is going to be able to carry on doing things how they've usually done them and budget your money so you don't have to buy as much at the one time
OK so the panic buyers are stock piling and no doubt will continue daily and I've to change or reduce what foods I would usually buy monthly to a limited weekly buy for my family.... Ehhh sorry but NAW,
when the truckies stop trucking and we hit total shut down and food is limited coming into country then those who do monthly shops are screwed bascically huh shelves are emptying as it is and choice is becoming limited, my family have good healthy diets not messing with what they eat and how much because of this I need to keep thier immunity up especially now in order to beat this. So whilst people have full cupboards etc I have to stress weekly if there's proper food left in shops to buy for my family. I prefer to stress once a month not weekly.
FYI i have no problem budgeting and affording things my problem is availability .
So basically, you don't really give a fuck what's available for others and can't see how you'll be contributing to the problem
Excuse fucking me, we go month to month which means last time we bought food was last month. OK not every week, 4 weeks ago so everyone else been buying for 4 weeks now I have 4 weeks catching up to do.
Not over buying stock piling it's doing my normal monthly shop like I've done for 25 years
Ok, but don't you see that these are abnormal times so we all need to do our bit to make sure that there is enough stuff for everyone? Is it absolutely necessary for you to do a monthly shop instead or weekly or twice monthly? We are all having to adapt in this crisis to try and end it faster, you seem unwilling to do so.
So if I said right all of you budget so you can do a monthly shop when most do weekly shop, how would that suit you all.
And if you actually think about it, 4 x weekly shop you will not only spend more you will also but more over the corse of a month.
Im £600 a month for my monthly shop. Thats only £150 a week. Im positive you weekly shoppers spend that buying foods, milks breads pasta rice etc.... Do correct me if I'm wrong
It's not about spending more or less and I sure as hell can't afford £150 a week, it's about everyone working together until this crisis is sorted to ensure there is enough food for everyone.
I have a food budget, I get paid monthly but I still do a small weekly shop on a friday for freezer and cupboard stuff plus meals for the next few days, and then top up fresh stuff throughout the week as needed (small fridge and not much cupboard space).
Unless it's absolutely vital for you to do a monthly shop, like for example living somewhere remote, I don't understand why you can't adapt temporarily to help ease the problem. Now that restrictions are in place you'll be limited on items anyway.
See when we buy monthly the only top up essentials we have to buy weekly is milk. That means more for everyone else when stock up weekly.
Not sure what part I'm still being selfish, the part where I'd rather go out once to do a shop and not 4 times since we in isolations or the part where feeding my kids healthy food ??
The only way to beat this virus is to keep healthy and build immunity but can't do that eating shit and that's a fact.
Another thing since all the panic shoppers have stock piled past few weeks, doing our monthly shop we will be limited to a certain amount for all. No matter if you have a small or big family. Tough shit for us as big families will be limited to the same as smaller families and your assuming I'm being selfish no fairness in that though. Bigger families have more mouths to feed.
So everyone being limited anyway why is everyone panicking if one person does a monthly shop ffs get a grip.

when the truckies stop trucking and we hit total shut down and food is limited coming into country then those who do monthly shops are screwed bascically huh shelves are emptying as it is and choice is becoming limited, my family have good healthy diets not messing with what they eat and how much because of this I need to keep thier immunity up especially now in order to beat this. So whilst people have full cupboards etc I have to stress weekly if there's proper food left in shops to buy for my family. I prefer to stress once a month not weekly.
FYI i have no problem budgeting and affording things my problem is availability .
So basically, you don't really give a fuck what's available for others and can't see how you'll be contributing to the problem
Excuse fucking me, we go month to month which means last time we bought food was last month. OK not every week, 4 weeks ago so everyone else been buying for 4 weeks now I have 4 weeks catching up to do.
Not over buying stock piling it's doing my normal monthly shop like I've done for 25 years
Ok, but don't you see that these are abnormal times so we all need to do our bit to make sure that there is enough stuff for everyone? Is it absolutely necessary for you to do a monthly shop instead or weekly or twice monthly? We are all having to adapt in this crisis to try and end it faster, you seem unwilling to do so.
So if I said right all of you budget so you can do a monthly shop when most do weekly shop, how would that suit you all.
And if you actually think about it, 4 x weekly shop you will not only spend more you will also but more over the corse of a month.
Im £600 a month for my monthly shop. Thats only £150 a week. Im positive you weekly shoppers spend that buying foods, milks breads pasta rice etc.... Do correct me if I'm wrong
It's not about spending more or less and I sure as hell can't afford £150 a week, it's about everyone working together until this crisis is sorted to ensure there is enough food for everyone.
I have a food budget, I get paid monthly but I still do a small weekly shop on a friday for freezer and cupboard stuff plus meals for the next few days, and then top up fresh stuff throughout the week as needed (small fridge and not much cupboard space).
Unless it's absolutely vital for you to do a monthly shop, like for example living somewhere remote, I don't understand why you can't adapt temporarily to help ease the problem. Now that restrictions are in place you'll be limited on items anyway.
See when we buy monthly the only top up essentials we have to buy weekly is milk. That means more for everyone else when stock up weekly.
Not sure what part I'm still being selfish, the part where I'd rather go out once to do a shop and not 4 times since we in isolations or the part where feeding my kids healthy food ??
The only way to beat this virus is to keep healthy and build immunity but can't do that eating shit and that's a fact.
Another thing since all the panic shoppers have stock piled past few weeks, doing our monthly shop we will be limited to a certain amount for all. No matter if you have a small or big family. Tough shit for us as big families will be limited to the same as smaller families and your assuming I'm being selfish no fairness in that though. Bigger families have more mouths to feed.
So everyone being limited anyway why is everyone panicking if one person does a monthly shop ffs get a grip.
As most have said they do regular runs to shops weekly and I'm assuming it's more than once or twice a week whereas we get everything that's needed for a month to last the month so won't be popping out to shops to restock.
At no point have I called you selfish. I’ve stated that you seem unwilling to consider temporarily changing your buying habits and still haven’t made it clear why buying monthly is essential. You’re also still missing the point about buying weekly stuff to ensure there is more to go around. Good luck with your next monthly shop
Buying monthly is essential as i not only have 2 children at home aged 14 and 6, i look after 4 grandkids too ages 1,2,4,5, so last 2 weeks I have had a house full, which is my normal yes but its So my older kids can go to work and not rely on benefits 5th grandchild due in few weeks.
So dragging 1 teen and 5 kids around shops on a normal day would be a nightmare especially weekly so hubby and i go shopping once a month when he gets day off but since this virus, kids have been off school and nursery 3 weeks now.. Kids eat food means cooking, making 3 x a day possible more, so home schooling mixed with entertaining toddlers daily, hubby at work, older kids at work and 6 kids at my home.
Hubby gets day off Wednesday, son and daughters man off Wednesday, so it's our only time to go shopping whilst the older kids watch their sister and brother. We will do monthly food shop. I don't and won't have time to pee let alone get 6 kids in car which btw is illegal and trapse them round the shops to pick up weekly shopping whilst holding hands with 2yr old and carrying 1 year old and keeping eyes on 4,5 and 6 yr old plus putting kids at risk like that just wouldn't be responsible. So that's why we have to do one shop once a month because we won't get time for next 5 weeks as husband won't be off at same time as older kids, scheduled time off dont match up.
Plz tell me this answers ur question. I plan well ahead. And if my husband who's asthmatic and son asthmatic get sick. Its going to be even harder. So no time to look after all kids plus shop weekly.
Think. I've covered why, the where, the how I do my monthly shop.
Wow that's rather elaborate.
Wondering how the fuck you had time to get the veris
Well the questions kept coming and like to have the last word/s it's an ocd thing
He’s behind you
"Cant wait to come back to this thread and find out how you are coping with the change when we get the one person allowed to go shopping at a time restriction that other countries have put in place its really not essential to buy for a month at a time, or wait til all the men are on a day off to go shopping together (well maybe if you need them to help carry the mountain of bags for you and the 4 families you are shopping for at once) ... maybe if you shopped once a week (and the grown up kids picked up their own groceries) you or hubby would manage it solo leaving the other to be at home with the cooking cleaning homeschooling (that all other families also have to do too but thanks for trying to justify why you feel you are in need so much more than others) | |||

"Panic buying, stocking up on foods. Then foods go bad because you haven't eaten them quick enough or stored badly, so gives you the shits. Luckily you've got extra loo roll! "Some people use one weekend to cook meals for week ahead and freeze, so things don't spoil. Just saying | |||

"Thanks for all comments on this feed folks hope you all good and keeping ontop of the virus with plenty food and other essentials it crazy how some people are acting in supermarkets " I've seen some truly atrocious behaviour in my local supermarket but also had some heartwarming random interactions with strangers (from a safe distance naturally). It's true that adversity brings out the worst in some and the best in others. May we all strive for the latter. | |||
