    Me either! No point. If there is a shortage, it will catch up with us all, sooner or later.  :smile:

    Just the usual stuff I'd rotate and have extra of, I may look like a doomsday prepper to the delivery guy, but it's just my usual periodic cupboard and freezer stock up. 

    Prices are unlike to increase too much, it's literally pennies here and pennies there at the moment, and basics are barely shifting in price.

    As a low carber, any shortages of flour, bread, biscuits, crackers or breakfast cereals, won't affect me. Shortages of sunflower oil will pass me by as I don't buy industrial seed oils and try to avoid products containing them I have been experiencing shortages in fresh organic produce for years now and not much of that will keep.

    My husband was really annoyed by the Salt & Shake crisp shortage, I think he would be even more annoyed by crisps cooked in rapeseed oil. Fortunately I discovered some air-dried low carb snacks recently. 

    There are alternatives for a lot of things.

    Not exactly stockpiling but I keep a box of tins'n'packets in the garage for camping food. Just grab-and-go!
