Are Zimbabweans shopping mad

I was suprised to see a number of Harareans going on a stampede over chezees and jupiter snacks something that they never bothered to buy before the crackdown on supermarkets. How do you explain a situation whereby a grown up man filling a trolley with this little nothings, is it because as Zimb abweans we are shopaholics or we are in a desperate situation and does not know what tommorrow hs in store for us. Funny enough these snacks are the last things to disappear from the shelves and they were going for as little as $36 000 from $70 000 and does that nmake a difference.
