Even tougher product limits at Coles and Woolworths as Melbourne enters Stage 4 restrictions

The message is clear: only buy what you need. - by Miranda Moore

Even tougher product limits at Coles and Woolworths as Melbourne enters Stage 4 restrictions

It was the news no Victorian wanted to hear: as of 6pm Sunday August 2 Melbourne would enter Stage 4 restrictions which includes an 8pm-5am curfew, with the rest of Victoria moving to Stage 3 restrictions. And with that news came the usual panic buying, forcing supermaket giants Coles and Wooloworths to enforce their own tougher restrictions. So what exactly does this include? Let's break it down:

COLES
Melbourne stores will now close at 7.45pm every night with customers allowed to enter until 7.30pm. Those stores which have an earlier closing time will close at their regular time. 

New limits currently include two per person of the following:

  • Mince meat
  • Chicken breasts
  • Chicken thighs

This is in addition to two per person limit on hand sanitiser and one per person limit on face masks.  

Keep up-to-date with the latest from Coles here.


WOOLWORTHS

• Potatoes Prepacked
• Onions Prepacked
• Bread (loaves) including in-store
• Frozen Seafood 
• 2 x packs Pork
• 2 x packs Lamb

There is also a 1kg limit on 
meat from the butcher, small goods from the deli, and poultry from the deli. There is also a 2kg limit on bag-your-own carrots, onions and potatoes. These limits are in addition to the one pack per person limit on face masks.

Keep up-to-date with the latest from Woolworths here.

Product limits across supermarkets are likely to remain in place until September 13, when Stage 4 restrictions are reassessed.
