Bunnings selling years’ worth of toilet paper for $42
Bunnings Australia is selling jumbo toilet paper rolls that could last an entire year as “panic buying” continues due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The hardware store is now offering shoppers industrial sized toilet papers, which is usually used in public bathrooms and shopping centres.
For $42, shoppers can purchase eight rolls of Scott Essential Jumbo Tissue Rolls – measuring 2,400 metres, while the six-pack of Kleenex rolls, which total 1,800 metres will cost $75.
The website states the jumbo-sized toilet papers “deliver quality with superior softness, strength, absorbency and comfort.”
“If anyone gets truly desperate Bunnings sells the industrial rolls, the ones you usually find in public toilets in the large dispensers,” wrote one shopper.
“It’s not going to run out on you anytime soon.”
According to some shoppers, the toilet rolls could last an entire year, but that depends on how many people live in one household.
The item comes after the Australian Government and health authorities pleaded with people to not panic-buy, but after chaotic scenes at supermarkets around the country, it was evident that people were not taking notice.
As of Thursday, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Australia was 129.
