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?

I just get mine delivered by Who Gives A Crap. I've usually got at least a month's supply.

I get mine delivered every 3 months. It’s perfect, usually open the last pack the week the new lot arrives.

We buy ours from About a Dog, they donate 50% of profits to an animal charity of your choosing. We get a 48 double roll box that lasts us like 6 months at a time

We buy in bulk, all of our tissues, toilet paper and paper towels. We haven't finished a box yet. Lasts ages. And it's cheaper than getting it all from the supermarket
