Redfern Convenience Store in the inner city has started put a sign up on toilet paper stating that one packet will cost $3.50.

However, two packs will cost a whopping $99, a surefire way to stop shoppers from stocking up.

The idea originated in Denmark where a major supermarket used the technique to curb the hoarding of hand santiser - selling one bottle for $8 each or two bottles for $212 each.
