What rot.

Had to brave the tiny morrisons near me as I'd forgotten caster sugar and needed some to do some baking for a present for tomorrow. Even that was bloody rammed.

Trust me. The ones who don't plan are benefit bums.

Something something bumhole something something cheek.How can you be a bum if you work ?
I planned 
I bought items 2 weeks ago if I had the option to freeze them. The only thing I didn't plan on was supermarkets not having stock of what I needed, along with my back locking up last weekend meaning i couldnt go out for several days. Its still agony but had to brave shops today to get the bits i couldnt get on Friday.
I don't think it's necessarily about lack of planning. It's a combination of people going mad and getting as much food as possible thus not leaving enough stock, shops then not stocking shelves quick enough for demand, people who might be working/have children to look after and that's their only chance, people waiting for pay day so they can get their food shop, people waiting for shops to make further reductions because they're trying to keep costs low/might not earn much or the odd few who forgot something because no one's perfect

Because the shops may not be open for 2 days....

I'm now chilling watching TV, seeing the other half rushing around like a blue arsed fly....
I'm like "it's 1 day.... We're moving to Wales in less than 2 weeks, we have everything in storage or boxed up. I'm pretty sure they won't mind not having 1 perfect Xmas.... We really don't need to wrap presents... Just stick them in a carrier bag. But get the carrier bag back because they cost money. "

Most shops are open 6am to 10pm or similar - it’s not the shop’s fault if people leave it until Mary’s waters have broken to pick up their essentials.
No one is constantly busy to that extent!

One issue is that some factories/farms/other production plants and warehouses are closed. This causes a break in the supply chain.I planned

Because many people are eating Christmas food between Christmas and NY - a lot of normal food isn’t bought and therefore gets reduced.
