With all the profiteering going on due to the selfish ba.....ds stock piling and now with the pubs shutting the potential of the price of ale rocketing in shops. Let's compile a list of shops that don't deserve our patronage in the future. A starter :-
Hasland village stores £10.99 bog rolls according to DT.

To counter that Londis at the top of Chatsworth Road has arranged a volunteer group to deliver and run errands for people who can’t or are in isolation 👍
Two deliveries done so far this morning.

£30 + for a Puma football top that cost price is about £4

I don’t think that’s in the intended sphere of the thread.

Driving home from work on Thursday I saw a farmer selling sacks of potatoes from a trailer for £20 a sack. He refused to give me his name and just said with a smile on his face "supply and demand, mate". He found out very quickly I wasn't his mate.

Little morton farm shop, 12.95 for a sack of washed reds👍

North Wingfield.. Turn left at gate Inn, 500 yds on left.

I paid £10 for a sack of spuds today at Ibbotsons in Hasland.Co-op at North Wingfield had toilet roll at one pack per customer but couldn’t believe people trying to buy more and moaning when told no.

How many kilos?

Lorry just off Derby Road between Tupton and Clay Cross, seven quid for 12.5kg. Not sure how often they're there, though.

Bottom line - and I know I'm stating the obvious, here - is the only shortages are those created by greed. Buy what you need, when you need it, and these discussions become redundant...

Indeed, no more money, no more people - therefore no more demand. Bit of redistribution from cafes and restaurants and city centre outlets to supermarkets, but the only issue is the selfish, ignorant, uncaring ******** that are stockpiling.

I haven’t time to shop but thankfully youngsters, who were at Center Parcs till their stay was curtailed, brought some stuff back from the shop there...

25 kg, was only after a 12.5kg myself tbh, but they had non left, but I'll send some down to my mother if she needs any..
Its hard today, she's 76 and I don't wanna put her at risk by visiting or sending anything, I've told her when this goes away, we off for a slap up Italian meal...

Off at a tangent, does this count?

Big house on Chesterfield Road Tibby, 7.55 am.
Scaffolding van parked roadside with 3 young men in a 2/3 seater cab, happily chatting away waiting for their customer to rise and shine for an 8 am start.

Now, I wouldn't think of reporting them but it is the height of selfishness unless they are all one family self isolating. Non family members sharing work trucks must surely be banned. Having said that, I think Boris will announce a complete lock down this week.

A lad at work got me a 25kg back of potatoes from a local farm other day - £7

I’ll find out tommorow which one it is

What do people do with all these spuds?

What about the tube or buses? Plenty of people need to use them to get to work.

Not pricing but it took less than 24hrs for a local pub to be caught with a lock in going on. They claimed it was 'just friends' and 'no money changed hands'.

Which one?

I’ve been told today another one is planning on doing the same- they should be reported if they do

As above the Tweet just said Clay Cross. It wouldn't be the Rykneld nor the new one on the A61.
