[PHOTOS] New Zealand panic buying in full swing
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.

This is at 7am, 13h after the initial announcement on the news and 12h since the panic buying began.

I look photos, but I would need to upload them somewhere first. Done

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.

Thank god I prepared weeks ago

That's how I feel! If all stores closed today I wouldn't notice it for a month.

Any other kiwis here, feel free to post your 1st hand observations. 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

Interesting, being on an island, you probably won't be stocked up quickly in the stores.

 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”

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.

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.

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.

We started topping off all our preps in late January and were done and dusted a few weeks back.

We're as confident as we can be that we're ready for what's coming.

Good luck to the OP and everyone else.

Meanwhile in the background where these secluded set up shots aren't there is a full store. This belongs on Joe Biden's Malarkey tour.
