FFP3 masks question

I've got some masks already but I've got a couple of questions about FFP3 ones. A lot of places sell them, from DIY shops to medical supply firms.

Re: Coronavirus panic: Why are people buying just pasta?

Odd too that the pasta's sold out but there's still loads of pasta sauce, tomatoes etc... all the sort of things you'd think people would be buying to go with it.

Coronavirus panic: Why are people buying just pasta?

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 6.

Re: Rotating emergency food stocks

I don't hate you ;) Personally though, although there are some things I'll probably stock that I normally wouldn't use, I would try to keep things as close to my normal food buying as possible. I know I could obviously stock up incredibly quickly using Happy Shopper style, cheap as chips, tasteless ...

Rotating emergency food stocks

Is it as simple as each time you buy a couple of tins of beans you put them in your emergency store and take a couple out from there and put them in your kitchen cupboard or do people operate different systems?

Re: Food Prices Increasing Already?

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 6.

Thankfully it was only a small one I recently bought. Hopefully she doesn't go raiding the prep cupboard now though. :roll:
