"NOW WE KNOW IT'S SERIOUS"

 ........ said a woman in the Countdown supermarket baking supplies aisle today.
The shelves that normally hold flour, bread-making mix and other baking products was completely bare. There had been a run on it.

I needed baking yeast for my bread-maker so called in to Pak n Save on the way home. Same result.

Nearer to home I called in to New World supermarket. They had no flour or bread-mix.

This is getting ridiculous. A quick look at shelves that are usually full of grocery items show that there are many gaps and not only the ones that hold hand sanitiser, wipes or toilet paper. A friend said that there was no Marmite or Vegemite to be had as it had all been bought.

The outcome of all this stupidity will be government imposed rationing like this and other countries had during and after the Second World War.

This of course will stimulate blackmarket activities but these are already happening with hand sanitiser - see my post on this : HERE

I reported these bastards - Horo.co.nz for selling a $4.59 bottle of hand sanitiser $28.85 to the Commerce Commission.
