Due to ongoing shortages Publix places purchase limits on select Items

Supermarket giant Publix, a company based in Florida is limiting customers to purchase two select items at stores due to ongoing shortages related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their slogan is “Where shopping is a pleasure” but that will not be the case for some customers during the holidays.

“The limits are for all stores in our seven-state operating area,” a representative for Publix told the station. “There is not a set time determined for these limits, and the list can change to include more items or remove items.”

Items on the list for limited purchase include:
• Canned cranberry sauce

• Jarred gravy

• Canned pie filling

• Canola and vegetable oil

• Cream cheese

• Bacon

• Rolled breakfast sausage

• Paper napkins

• Disposable plates, cups, and cutlery

• Bath tissue

• Refrigerated snacks

• Sports drinks

• Aseptic type juices

• Canned cat food

• Refrigerated pet food

According to Publix, demand for specific holiday items has also contributed to widespread shortages.
