What are you stocking up on at the moment?

Nothing, why would you? 

Stocking up just means stock levels drop, prices rise even more and people panic buy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nothing, I’m running my stock down as have far too much.  Going to empty both my fridge freezers and eat all the dried lentils, pasta and rice with odd assortment of oils and herbs, then will start restocking next year.  Also helps that I’m spending winter months in sunny climate.

Nothing, never been one to do that. I have a stock of tinned/packet food but that's all in my camping box!

Nothing. 
It only adds to shortages, causes difficulties for those who cannot hoard for any reason, financial or otherwise, and often leads to foods never being used or becoming out of date.

Drinking water, bottled gas and diesel. Already have plenty of food - we're doomed

I have a rolling stock - two packets of everything, when you open the second packet you replace the spare. Some things we get through a lot of I keep more than two packs/tins of as my normal stock, and I don't do this with things like herbs and spices. 

I think the only things I really buy a lot of is cans of fizzy drinks - we only have a can each most days, but the 24 packs are far cheaper so when they're on offer I get enough to last a few months until the next time they're on offer.

Nothing. Even if I could financially then I still wouldn't. My emergency supplies tend to be a couple of tins of baked beans or soup.

Or, people have asked this over and over (spotted a thread from 2005!) and the vast majority of people in the UK have neither the space nor the budget to build a crazy huge stock of anything.

Those that do have a bunker filled with tuna and freeze dried chicken are too busy defending it from the local cats who are extremely interested in their stash.

Nothing much, really running my cupboards and freezer down more than anything. 

Store brand basics don't seem to have increased in price much, it seems to be branded stuff, meat and fresh stuff that are affected more.

I do tend to be keeping more meat in the freezer.
