Hey Individual,
"Do you think those panic buyers right now are all that different from then, considering how they're emptying the Supermarket shelves without a thought of others ?"

What are they supposed to do in your opinion?
Skip the 'emptying' part and wait until it's completely emptied?
Head down the soup kitchen for out of date tins and stale bread?
Maybe we should just wait until there's 10,000 cases and then go shopping?
Maybe I can gaffa tape some KFC refresher towelettes around my head like a balaclava?

I told you all.
It will get worse before it gets better.
I told you all the bogroll was a sign of things to come, but you all were bemused and did nothing.

I've got maybe 4-6 months worth of food, for which I spent $800.
- Buying the specials at Coles Woolies and IGA for the last few weeks, and extras at Golden Circle and the Bulk-Buy Butcher.

Still a few things I need to get, but I'm mostly prepared, and don't want to go shopping anymore, it's too risky.

What are they supposed to do in your opinion?
Armchair Critic,
Be considerate but we all know that's not possible so, all we can hope for is that customer limits are introduced.
My wish is that this situation is jerking the morals of the average citizen because it is the average citizen that needs to pull into line !
I'm one of them & I'm not prepared to take 6 toilet rolls when there are five people lining up, I take one !

Dear Armchair Critic,

60 rolls of toilet paper and you live on your own? So at least a years supply huh?

You are a hoarder and a contributor to the shortages we are having to endure.

Hope you feel good about yourself you smug clown.

Armchair Critic,

Hey individual,
I can buy a 80L Oztrail Fridge / Freezer at Anaconda for $699
http://www.anacondastores.com/camping-hiking/power-cooling/fridges/oztrail-80l-dual-zone-fridge-freezer/BP90154540

If I use Afterpay it means I'll only have to pay $175 upfront, and $175 for the following 3 fortnights.

I can get 300W camping solar panels for $150

Then all I need is a Kickass battery box and a deep cycle battery.
http://www.australiandirect.com.au/buy/australian-direct-battery-box-large/ADBB-LGE

So total cost will be about $600 upfront and my fridge will stay cold FOREVER, I won't need power, and it can run on 240V in the meantime, I can load it with bread and I won't have to go to Coles or Woolies.

Hey SteeleRedux

"60 rolls of toilet paper and you live on your own? So at least a years supply huh?

No, I don't live on my own, I live with 2 others and there's a separate house on the property I live where 2 others live as well.

Not only did I buy that list of stuff, I bought 90% of it on special.
Otherwise it would've cost twice as much.

FYI, 60rolls was 2 x 24pk's of Quilton and 1 x 12pk of Quilton.
$12bucks a pk for the 24 and $7 for the 12pk.
The first time I went for toilet rolls weeks ago I passed on a 32pk of Kleenex because it was that Cottonelle crap, so I took the 12pk Quilton.
Then I went to Woolies and they had 24pks, so I took one.
A week or so later I was in store again and they happened to have more 24pks so I got another. Why wouldn't I?
- And I've been loaned a few rolls to others -

Later I even bought another 20pk to share with others, so really I've got about 75rolls, which granted is too much.

Do you know that you could've just gone to Bunnings and bought commercial rolls?
Even now, my neighbours son says he works in a warehouse utterly choccas with them and can get a box of 48 for $17.

I never broke any limits, I just got in early.
When you lot were panicking about toilet rolls, I'd already gotten mine and was getting pasta and non-perishables, because I knew that's what it would be the following week.
