Before the “lockdowns” of 2020 started in your area, were you actively following the news about the coronavirus and bracing for something to come? #covid19
What was the priority of your pre-lockdown panic buying, if indeed you panic bought?
No panic buying.
Same here but I’ve never panic bought even when a nasty winter storm was forecast. I can’t stand to be out in public when people are wigging out.
I'm in hurricane country. I keep a supply of emergency water and food, and I buy tp in bulk online anyway. Worked out perfectly that my 96 roll box arrived on its normal schedule before the panic buying started. Lasted us (only 2 of us here) well through the worst of the panic buying stage. I know it was more difficult for larger families. But, I wouldn't have panic bought TP, anyway. We have other options I was willing to utilize if needed.
That situation is definitely different. I've never lived in an environment of that sort. Just blizzards and tornados in IN and blizzards in CO but none of those required me to stock up.
