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

[The IPB]

Stockpiling cereal.

When the nuclear brexit comes, I'll be ready.

No, instead, i'm taking evasive action, and moving somewhere where the currency is stronger - like New Zealand.

What a ridiculous thread, would imagine petrol will be one of the more significant rises (already heard rumour of £2 a litre), are you going to fill jam jars of that OP?

 

[Tunney]

No, but I bought a dozen 1080s. Should last me a while.

Is that a new measure of car efficiency - MPJJ (Miles per Jam Jar)?

(Mine does about 3.77 miles on a Jam Jar)




- * yes I am that sad I worked it out - assuming standard jam jar size of 380ml

 

[Cosimo]

No, as we already have enough tin foil...

 

[Hagar]

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).

Stop buying Tuna chunks in oil would be my advice.

 

[Haggisman]

No

Stocking up on SSDs

You joke, but about 6 months ago I was thinking of buying myself a 240gb for about £40 but figured "in 6 months time I can get a 500gb for that"... Now look at the prices

 

[MookJong]

I photosynthesise my nutrients, your petty human matters are no concern to me.

While the OP seems a bit OTT he has a point. Just cos most of you/us can absorb the price hikes, not everyone can easily.

I wouldn't be happy if everything i buy goes up 20% over a year. That is certainly a massive increase.

But given the demographic of the forum the answers shouldn't surprise anyone.
Still don't think you should be happy. I've lost 15% of my UK assets just to exchange rates, it sucks...

 

[Raikiri]

No, guns and ammo.

I will take what i want, fallout 3 style.

This is why I'm buying beer, the caps will be worth their weight in gold.

 

[ScoTTyBEEE]

Food lol. You want to be buying stuff that costs a lot of money and doesn't spoil.

Get those big ticket items in like car tyres, white goods, electronics, furniture etc. You want to buy stuff that's still in stock from before the Brexit vote.

you actually sat and worked that out?! you really need to take a good hard look in the mirror - or get a hobby, clearly way too much free time

Work time and Excel was already open

Hardest part was trying to decide on what constitutes a standard size jam jar

They're also the people unlikely to have the funds to stock up!

 

[UTmaniac]

I've been hoarding 4-packs of beans in the loft all year, just heard a big creak... Will I die?

 

[Maccapacca]

I've just bought 1000 pigeon 6s. Not great for long range against humans but close up I win.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I'll keep shopping at Aldi/Lidl, it'll see me right.
