Living in European town -- no one wants to buy huge quantities in the first place -- gotta store them somewhere and make sure they're not spoiled yet, why bother if there's always a shop downstairs that does pretty much that. Just buy what you need for tonight (or for a week if you're a hoarder).

Exactly - the odds that a black swan event causes massive supply chain disruptions so you can't buy groceries is slim, so there's no need to worry about having emergency supplies. It's foolproof.

Indeed, GP's comment made me chuckle, it hasn't been long enough since the start of the pandemic to take "a week if you are a hoarder" comments seriously.

I just use my car sharing access once every four months to buy non-perishables. No big deal.

It looked to me that some of the COVID-19-related supply chain disruptions actually resulted from hoarder-type public that went to replenish their own emergency supplies all at the same time.
