Personally all I needed to pick up were a couple more packets of lemsip and I was done. So far it is very selective what has gone, but what disappeared has gone in an unprecedented fashion |

(OP) User ID: 78358169 New Zealand 02/28/2020 06:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Christchurch Supermarket not so bad. I havent started buying yet, got no money Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78541801 There are threads on prepping even if poor, I can only report on the supermarkets I see up here in Auckland. N95 masks have been out of stock for weeks, will update the pharmacy situation if it gets real bad. On that note, a friend of mine advised me: “Buy fish mox... its amoxicillin but in a different concentration so do the math but save money and if the end of the world happens pet stores maybe just as handy as drugstores” |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76190685 United States 02/28/2020 06:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Took a stroll around the supermarket this morning to check out the devastation. Was in a Highland Park, a suburb with particularly high proportion of East Asian residents. Quoting: Lord Deplorable Darkness This is at 7am, 13h after the initial announcement on the news and 12h since the panic buying began. Toilet paper: GONE milk powder: GONE rice: GONE flour: GONE pasta: not bad reasonable amount left Meat: plenty Bottled water: GONE peanut butter: heaps left Honey: untouched canned goods: still available Yesterday people were queuing up all around the shop with trolleys packed full. I went past another supermarket on the North Shore (also a heavily oriental population) yesterday at 7pm. The car park looks like Black Friday or Boxing Day sales. I look photos, but I would need to upload them somewhere first. Thank god I prepared weeks ago Pictures are coming in. A Pak-n-Save in Auckland; [link to twitter.com (secure)] |

If all stores closed today I wouldn't notice it for a month. I feel exactly the same. When people are panic buying food and water, I'll be buying kids games and toys just before the impending lockdown, social isolation. |

User ID: 75914116 New Zealand 02/28/2020 07:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My local didn’t look any worse than any other Saturday morning. The toilet paper self was looking a little empty. Of course that could be because there is a $50 million lotto draw tonight and lotto outlets have been running out of ticket paper. Any sarcasm in this post is purely intentional. |

(OP) User ID: 78358169 New Zealand 02/28/2020 07:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I didn’t have any problems getting everything I needed. Paknsave is always crowded on weekends. Go on a Monday morning. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78493813 That wasn’t on a weekend, it was Friday at 7pm, and talking to supermarket staff, they did have an unusual rush just hours after the announcement And for the AC tard that called me a shill, it’s not about if the shelves will be restocked or not, it’s a discussion about the attitude of normies and their reaction of panic buying.
