Living in European town -- no one wants to buy huge quantities in the first place -- gotta store them somewhere and make sure they're not spoiled yet, why bother if there's always a shop downstairs that does pretty much that. Just buy what you need for tonight (or for a week if you're a hoarder).
- drstewart 5y agoExactly - the odds that a black swan event causes massive supply chain disruptions so you can't buy groceries is slim, so there's no need to worry about having emergency supplies. It's foolproof.
- deepsun 5y agoIt looked to me that some of the COVID-19-related supply chain disruptions actually resulted from hoarder-type public that went to replenish their own emergency supplies all at the same time.
- rootusrootus 5y agoIndeed, GP's comment made me chuckle, it hasn't been long enough since the start of the pandemic to take "a week if you are a hoarder" comments seriously.
- wasmitnetzen 5y agoI just use my car sharing access once every four months to buy non-perishables. No big deal.
