I love how people keep saying it's "pathetic" to join in with panic buying.
I remember the fuel crisis of 2000, and how fast the supermarkets emptied. There was no food. If it had gone on for another week, there would have been riots.
Even if you don't agree with panic buying, once it starts you have no choice but to join in or you'll be left without.
I heard that Baby Formula is one of the things being hit the hardest (I think CO2 is used in its manufacture). Do you think the parents of a newborn baby should just sit back and do nothing, just so as not to be "pathetic"? If that was you, you'd spend the day and night driving around trying to "panic" buy what you needed so that your child didn't go hungry or get sick.
