Woolworths Moree has been completely wiped of toilet paper and hand sanitiser, while Coles Moree is out of hand sanitiser but still has some rolls of toilet paper left on the shelves.
Tissue and rice shelves are also looking a little barer at both local supermarkets.
Woolworths Moree assistant manager Kylie Heffernan said the demand for hand sanitiser had increased over the past few weeks, however it was only since Tuesday afternoon that she noticed customers bulk-buying toilet paper.

By Thursday morning there was none left on the shelves.
Along the empty toilet paper shelves in Woolworths Moree are signs limiting customers to four packs of toilet paper per transaction, "due to higher than usual demand". Another sign indicated that the store has a zero tolerance to "aggressive and abusive behaviour".
Customers were also limited to two hand sanitisers per transaction and when they were still available were located at the customer service desk.
Coles Moree was also limiting customers to four packs of toilet paper per transaction to "help maintain availability for all customers". A sign on its hand sanitiser shelf informed customers that they are "experiencing a shortage of antibacterial hand washes and hand sanitiser products" and are working with suppliers to improve availability.
Ms Heffernan said long-life products like flour and canned food were also in higher demand, however not enough to make a significant impact.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian encouraged people to not panic as the global coronavirus outbreak develops and urged the public to refrain from bulk-buying at the supermarkets.
"People should just go about their daily business in terms of the products they purchase, and I don't see a need to [bulk buy] at this stage," she said.
Company Kimberly-Clark, which manufactures toilet paper, is opening up its manufacturing lines in South Australia to deal with shortages.
