The pictures were taken on a street in the Midlands and posted on a Facebook group with the caption: “This is what panic buying really looks like, waste, waste, and more waste", Coventry Live reported. The photographer added: "A normal shop is all that’s needed, not only do the stores stay stocked longer, less people in said stores, win win. “People should only buy what they need, otherwise they will only be throwing a lot of it away when it all goes out of date. There’s only so much you can eat.”Many shops have now imposed limits on how many items you can buy after shelves were stripped empty because of panic buying.
