Is There a Tissue Shortage?

I haven't seen any stock of the $1 boxes of facial tissues at Coles or Woolworths for several weeks now.

    Maybe only a shortage in your room… (shortage of moisturiser too?) 😋

    I guess your location listed on your profile doesn't really help narrow it down as to which state you're talking about… but IDK, I keep a stash of 15-20 tissue boxes that I top up every two months or so and I haven't checked stores in a while.

        Prepper.

        Family owns a pharmacy so it's easy to get stock for stuff like tissue boxes or toilet paper.

      You use 2.5 boxes per week? 70 tissues per day?

      • CrispyChrispy on 22/10/2021 - 19:06

        I don't go through all 15-20 tissue boxes in the 2 months, lol, that would be crazy if I did. I top up every 2 months if necessary, if we're running low.

    Plenty around my area, maybe your stores getting short supplies, go ask at the service desk will get better info then asking on here.

    Lockdown + NBN speed boost = Tissue shortage.

  • AndyC1 on 22/10/2021 - 19:08

    Aldi have tissues.

    • Chandler on 24/10/2021 - 03:30

      The few I've been to recently don't have the better hypo-allergenic ones, only the standard ones. Asked one of the staff once and they advised they'd been having supply issues.

  • Izzyq19 on 22/10/2021 - 19:11

    My local woolies have 20 - 30 box of $1 tissues (QLD)

    • tharlow on 22/10/2021 - 19:15

      Not any more… thanks!

  • apsilon on 22/10/2021 - 19:19

    Yeah been out for weeks but only the $1 boxes.

  • HairyChickens on 22/10/2021 - 19:27

    issue

  • RM on 22/10/2021 - 19:35

    And that's how the hoarding begins…

    I buy a 12 pack and it usually lasts 6-8 months. See if amazon delivers in your area.
    It's $15.63 with S&S, so not very expensive.
    It has been on at a lower price in the past and posted on OzB regularly.

    I have been thinking this also! My workplace goes through lots of tissues and the $1 ones have been missing for weeks. I'm in WA.

  • djones145 on 22/10/2021 - 20:18
