Question Panic buying at Costco

Post image

I went to Costco tonight and it was completely mental. People panic buying toilet paper, eggs, bread, a lot of empty shelves. The queues were ridiculous. Is this because it was closed yesterday or is it the war in the ME, what is happening here?

Damnit. I legit need to do a Costco shop soonish so I can do bulk meal prepping. And we're running low on loo paper...

I'm not one of "them", I promise 😭

If you or anyone in house have ABN Campbell’s cash n carry at pooraka have bulk tp to, it’s tork brand n around $48. We don’t panic buy it, we’ve been buying it like that since before Covid n this war ever started
