RE: Corona shopping, What are your essentials?
I live in a small place in Serbia and went to my local store today to get some things me and my family needed. Noticed there was no flour left but there was still some toilet paper. :)
My family is starting to panic a little bit, watching the news all the time. I am staying at home, luckily we have a backyard to chill at and garden to work in. Maybe we will get some more dry foods but not too much. I might get another bottle of blackberry wine that I have been sipping on these days. Today the government will make a decision on the current situation so I guess we'll take it from there.
It was interesting to hear from someone who works in retail. Stay safe!
We ran out of flour for a while too. Looks like people are planning to make their own food like in the old days. A lot of the panic is coming from the media and the way that they are reporting on the whole situation. If everybody stayed calm and acted sensibly it would have a knock on effect. I've noticed a lot of the panic buying comes form people seeing how everybody else acts and then getting worried themselves.
Smart move is just to keep buying a bit extra every time and making sure that you have the essentials for at least two weeks. This looks like it will get worse here before it gets better and we will run out of certain products at the rate it's going right now.
I wish I could stay home like everybody else and sip wine but unfortunately we need to keep the shops open for everybody else. Enjoy the wine and stay safe.
