Are people finding shelves are being stripped bare in their supermarkets coz people are 'panic buying'?

Answered 4 years ago

I went to our local coles today and there was hardly any loo paper left and people had boxes of longlife milk in their teolleys. A lot of pasta was gone. Im not panic buying, but im stocking up on some stuff coz im worried all the panic shoppers are taking large amounts of stock and i then wont be able to get it when i need it.

I went today as i ran out of paper towel. Literally shelves were bare of toilet paper, and barely any paper towel left. People have honestly gone mad. I actually don’t have much loo paper left and am now worried about where i will be able to get it

Try chemists or the reject shop type places. Or ask your supermarket when they restock. There's plenty of supply coming through apparently.

No, not stripped bare, but some things here and there are out of stock but have been replenished quickly.

Sorry, you’ll have to go back. You didn’t get enough chocolate.

Haven't been because i did all my shopping last week. Didn't have to be a genius to work out how this was going to play out. Should have paid attention.
