Hard to police, how do you separate the panicer from someone buying for vulnerable others and themselves?
We buy rice in large quantities (10kg sacks) as we use rice often and it's cheaper that way. I have 10kg basmati, 10kg sticky and 5 kg Thai that will last a good while but will get used within a year. Is that panic/hoarding? I buy at Costco so get trays of cans as that's how it's sold, panic or just being wise to get good unit price?

Doesn't help when the media include misleading pictures. Eg A picture of items on special offer and not from the main area for toilet paper.
If you use Costco then you buy in 48's or so. But you only do it every couple/few months.
