Aquí, el que no corre vuela

[ROBINDESBOIS]

It means that when there is an offer at the supermarket for example, everybody goes like crazy, everybody takes the opportunity, it´s used in multiple contexts.
In English?

Maybe "feeding frenzy" would work.

[EmpanadaRica]

Hmmmmm not sure perhaps in broader terms, 'Go with the flow' ? :):)

'Get in or lose out'?

'If you snooze, you lose'? :D

I think a free-for-all would fit. This saying is principally associated with a brawl (fight) and means that there are no rules. But the saying is also used to describe the same kind of frenzy - everybody running (smashing and grabbing) to get the best product for the lowest price.

Thanx Rusty! :thumbsup:

I have a very vivid image of this now.. :D :p
Next time I come to Spain/México/países latinoamericanos finding myself in "lawless" territory such as a sale, I will attack shouting: 'Aquí , él que no corre vuela.. (and by the way: you snooze, you lose sucker!!) :D :D

Anything goes/ all systems go.. :D :thumbsup:

It is also used in other context for example, the goverment is giving some help, and most people have already got it, or for example some immigrants that know every rule to make the most of it, to benefit from everything, el que no corre vuela.
