In response to the demand increase, Publix has instituted purchasing limits on some items, Maria Brous, a spokesperson for the company, told McClatchy News on Sunday. Customers will be limited to two of each.

The items include:

▪ Hand soap

▪ Hand sanitizer

▪ Rubbing alcohol

▪ Face masks

▪ Gloves

▪ Disinfectant wipes and sprays

▪ Tissues

▪ Cups, plates and eating utensils

▪ Bleach

Other major retailers already have similar restrictions in place.

Publix? Huh. I ran in to my local one yesterday, there was plenty of everything.

Limits on cleaning products started here last week. Including.... cream cheese. Our store sells 3 brands of cream cheese and 2 have limits. One brand has had limits for weeks and last week the store brand also had limits. But buy all the Philly you want. All three made in the USA.
Crazy.

Good idea to stop hoarding of these products, although I'm sure people will simply make multiple trips to the same store, or go to another nearby Publix to stock up on the limited supplies on that list.

Does your local Publix actually have hand sanitizer and face masks?? I cannot find those *anywhere* in my area of northwest / north-central Connecticut. Saw a sign today in my local smallish family-owned supermarket: "Sorry: We will have NO hand sanitizer until September 2020".

September?? WHAT the hell?!
