Food: are you stocking up ahead of the imminent price rises?

lude1962 · 21 Oct 2016 at 09:01

With the exchange rate plummeting and the price of oil rising are you stocking up on anything?
I'm stocking up on tinned tuna chunks, small footprint, sourced overseas so likely to be affected by exchange rate and oil price rise (due to transport costs).

No I am not.

I'm stocking up on tinfoil and sovereignty.

No, but I did order some wine. Not stocking up, just you know, because wine.

Make you you purchase plenty of Bacofoil with your tuna.

Plant some of the tins in your garden and grow your own Tuna trees to save even more money.

No, I'm not. I just carry on with life and make cuts if necessary, which so far haven't been.

This but only because we already had a load which I was unaware of so bought another load for using after I'd dropped a load.

Only Pot Noodles

Currently stocking up on massive doorstep sized slices of bread, huge pads of unspreadable butter wrapped in grease paper, pheasants, and ladies nylons. I've done some research and that should be all I need to set up an effective black market when the time comes.

I'm stocking up on teabags so that when brexit-pocalypse happens I can still have a hot mug of tea.

R.O.S.S.I · 21 Oct 2016 at 09:33

No. Not at all. Whats food going to go up? 10% at most?

Kuros · 21 Oct 2016 at 09:36

I'm half tempted to...

Not because of the price increases, just because I've realised my cupboards are mostly empty at the moment...
