I am, a little. I got more cat food than usual and some frozen pizzas. The ramen noodle aisle only has some shrimp and soy flavor left.

No. Perhaps Catman should, but he's too laid back.

I did stock up a bit on food, just whatever I could fit in my fridge/freezer, which isn't much really. Also, some canned food.

I got a few tins of chilli con carne and curry in, just in case I'm laid up and can't cook, and some noodles. I need to get some frozen pizzas as I'm almost out. I think it's good to have a few items in the cupboard to fall back on, just in case you can't buy fresh food. I always have plenty of tinned fish - right now, tuna, salmon and mackerel. I also have a spare jar of mayonnaise, mustard, bottle of chilli sauce, need to get another Tabasco. Need to maintain the booze level and check the situation with tea bags (coffee, got plenty).

No, I'm just panic eating instead.

No. I always have enough food at home to last for a few weeks and I refuse to panick before dead bodies start piling up on the streets.

I am on the east coast of Florida and I have seen no panic buying or shortages. For that reason, of course, and the fact that I am always well stocked, I am not panic buying. Slightly panicking, though.

I've been trying to find toilet paper for weeks now!
Buy only what you need, people! Stop hoarding the damn Charmin!

no. coincidently we have 2 months worth of liquid meal powder at home because we Just bought bulk a couple weeks ago, and food is not a real concern, the real concern would be water but if water is off for more than a day or two, not even an AK47 will help. so why stock up on food unless you have a secret underground bunker fully stocked for a year including medicine and weapons  plus most people (myself included) would benefit from not having access to much or even any food for some time... we are so spoilt... |

I can't panic buy. I can't even regular buy. The shelves have been empty for a while now for things like toilet paper, alcohol, beans, canned goods, bathroom or baby wipes, sanitizer,...
The one time I went to one of the pharmacies and found toilet paper, they had 5 packages. But I thought, I don't need 5, right. Right? So I took two packages, leaving 3 for others. By the time I turned around people were grabbing them up like it was gold. I now wish I had taken more because since then I haven't been able to find any. None. Nothing.
Oh ye ol' hindsight. Such regret.

No because we usually have a good amount, but fill in with milk, bread and food for the cats, fresh fruit and fresh produce. I had 2 dz eggs, and am down to about 14 eggs. We always have pasta. I have meat rozen, and fropen veggies. We buy paper goods at Costco, and just bought our supplies before this happened. We actually bought double because we got our cash-Bach money from Costco, and figured why not. I worry about cat food because the shelves have been stark. Right now my husband is out trying to buy cat food and bread and organic lactose-free milk. Crazy what people are panic buying!
Yesterday, my daughter and I went for a drive about an hour and a half from home up in the noonies. On the way back, we stopped at a ShopRite because she wanted to pick up some chicken and produce. She had no luck where we live. Store had plenty.
We'll see how things are in another two weeks.

Down to 8 rolls and not a single roll for sale anywhere around me. No panicking though. Like I said in my other thread, you don't need toilet paper. Some food is out, but only the usual suspects. Plenty of other food still for sale.

The TP thing came from a rumor that major TP manufacturing occurs in China, and . . . Yeah. Silly.
