I went to buy fly spray just now at Aldi and the fruit and veges and all meat gone!! All beer gone!!

I got 2 cans fly spray.
Oh and a mobile phone holder half price special!
But my biggest surprise, they had the kitty litter we usually get, so I got a bag of kitty litter! It’s heavy and nearly hurts my back lifting it up into trolley.
But yes, kitty litter I did get yay!

My family and I have stayed at home nearly all weekend as we all had a very mild cold, but I'll probably hit the shops tomorrow to replace a few basics. Not looking forward to it.

BTW it's better that people are all stocked up now than venturing out when the caseload is soaring.

Masks are for people who are already sick.

Wearing a mask won't stop you getting the virus.

Has anyone been able to get their fresh foods, meat, veges, fruit?
Everything in supermarkets by evening are bare as old mother Hubbard’s cupboard.

I don’t have to go to any shops for a while now. Skip the madness. Might get really bad?
We’ll see.

Interesting to hear and read reports from people from all over.

Just came back from my local Mexican restaurant.

Had the testiest meal ever, with all fresh ingredients.

Stop panicking, people: everything is gonna be okay.

I don't have a single mask, well maybe a few dust masks in the shed.
Just stay away from people is the best bet.

Well I stocked up on meat weeks ago, have loads of frozen veg.
All I'm looking for tomorrow is a frozen chook as we made chicken soup while we were all sick on Saturday and want another in the freezer

Haidee Janetzki, who lives in the city of Toowoomba, bought 2,304 rolls of toilet paper from an online service called Who Gives a Crap in February, Reuters reports.

Though she typically orders 48 rolls every three months, she accidentally ordered 48 boxes of rolls this time, amounting to over US$2,000 worth of the product.
