I needed to pop into the local Aldi today- they have some cord/rope on

Senior Management instructed me to see if they had any of the particular
loo roll we use in the motorhome- sure enough they not only had a
reasonable stock but there didn't seem to be limit on how many you could
buy. I picked up a pack of nine- the normal supply for a longer trip. A
lady in the queue at the check out noticed the pack in my trolley and
asked me where they were- she'd been in a couple of other shops which
were cleaned out.

We also needed a couple of normal cleaning items, again they were
available but people were commenting that other places were out of stock.

So, it seems at least some places are still suffering from panic buying.

I went to my local lidl at 6pm yesterday and noted completely empty
shelves for toilet paper AND kitchen rolls.

I went to my supermarkets on saturday and while one
of the two majors and aldi had no dunny paper at all,
the aldi still had kitchen rolls and the other two supermarkets
still had dunny rolls.
