At last some meaningful progress in supplying customer demand for toilet paper despite over 20 million rolls bought in the last week at Woolies alone.

The manufacturers have increased production by 70 %

i'll be in kadina woolies tomorrow, will report back on the toot paper progress

with the influx of unwelcome city folk on 'nessesary holidays'

i think any chance of there being any toot paper at woolies or drakes is NIL

I had quite a good stash of loo rolls, but after giving some away and family using some, it is starting to get down a bit. I picked up four rolls from a country IGA yesterday. They are obviously buying in bulk packs and repackaging them into thin fruit type plastic bags. The price..... $4.00 for four rolls. On the last New Years Eve who would have thought we would be paying a buck a roll for dunny paper ?.

I don't think that's even legal, to repackage.

I studied up the legislation on this around 12 months ago and had extensive in office discussions with our council health inspector who also researched the subject for me. ( for one of my other business ventures I havnt ever mentioned here.........   )

I,m not sure if re-packaging is a state or federal issue, but in South Australia, the re-packaging laws only relate to items that are orally consumed, such as food and medicines. The laws are in place to ensure all ingredients are clearly displyed on the label and external packaging of food is not damaged or tampered with in any way. 

It is legal in S.A. to re - package dry goods and re-sell them.

I'm not convinced.

Sounds like infringement of trademark to me.

Reverse palming off

And.... what the hell...it just don't sit right!

its one thing to limit quantitys

its another to open pre packaged items at a time of shortages then selling the items at a higher price individually

selling bog rolls for $1 when in a pack they would be 50cent per, that price gouging

I think breaking up a pack and selling rolls individually creates a computer inventory problem - one pack , one bar code , how does it identify the sale of individual items  that do not have bar codes ?

Also issues relating to packaging , there being none for unpacked rolls - i am sure this would not meet business expectations under normal circumstances , also prospective customers would not be overjoyed thinking how much handling the first layer of paper would have been subject to before personal use

But desperate times require desperate solutions - handing out one roll from the last pack is better than none for the late 8 or 10 people.

Splitting the last pack between 8 or 10 people - A fine example of Aussie Egalitarianism, indeed. 😉

Same way they charge you for current items without bar codes - fruit for example?

Do those dunny rolls have price tags on them?! then they'd charge you accordingly.
