Just in: Coles CEO announces strict new coronavirus shopping limits - effective tomorrow

Just 24 hours after Woolworths announced new limits and changes to their refund policy amid coronavirus panic shopping, Coles supermarket has followed suit. 

Coles CEO Steven Cain today announced strict new limits on a range of items - including pasta, flour, rice and more. He adds that there'll be additional limits on extra items in various stores, depending on where you live. 

The supermarket giant has also stopped their refund policy in response to the coronavirus crisis to make shoppers think twice before over-purchasing.

He writes: ‘To continue to allow everyone the opportunity to purchase staple items, we will be implementing a couple of further changes throughout our stores.

‘From Saturday we will limit the purchase of pasta, flour, dried rice, paper towels, paper tissues and hand sanitisers to 2 items per customer. We will also be introducing some additional limits on certain items in each store. These can vary between stores, so please visit your local Coles for more information.

‘From today we will be temporarily suspending our change-of-mind refund policy to discourage over-purchasing. If you have already purchased additional items you no longer want, please look at donating them to community organisations or neighbours who have been struggling to purchase them during this time.’
