But then we're talking about the fine line of want vs need.

Well, that's why there's a fine in place if people get caught

Well yeah I can see how there's a fine for selling, but what about hoarding beyond a reasonable level?

I mean I know "reasonable" may be subjective, but there are those who overdo that.

I'm an alcoholic, I know all about the subject of "overdoing it".

The only thing that stores can do is put limits on how much each person or households can buy at a time

Asking for more would be overreaching, wouldn't it?

For example, soup was on sale for $2.00, but the limit was 4

Yes

That's fair.

There was a limit of 2 on 4 pound packs of flour and sugar.

The problem is that there should have been a buy limit from the beginning when this all started

Basically how it's done here in Germany.

There's limits on the basics, but not on the fancy stuff.

There was a limit of 2 packs of toilet paper somewhere, and they were still all gone, because its per a person

I got me and my family some flour, rice, potatoes, powdered milk, cereals and soup.

The good thing we got here in Germany is that water and electricity will be running and the stores will stay open.

We're doing pandamic easy mode. o. o

Military grade emergency food, because I used to be paranoid. xD

My coworker has a family of 8, so it makes sense that she would need more supplies.

Of course.

We only got 4 and I'm constantly worried if it will last when bad goes to worse.

...like I said, paranoid.

Also: food person

I just learned how to make washing detergent on a budget. o. o

You need washing soda (which can be made from baking soda), a bar of soap and there was one other thing. o. o

And soup can be made from fat.

A byproduct would be glycerin, please do not mix it with wood chips, otherwise you'd create nitro-glycerin.

@LunaticHell im considering ordering a large amount of stuff from rewe

Sounds like a good idea.

There's a few things that people tend to overlook.

Like tooth paste.

Batteries.

If you wanna go hardcore: a generator.

Water filters.
