I love drinking Yakult but only when I'm in Asian countries where it is cheaper than flavoured milk.
I don't usually buy these due to the extraordinary markup in Oz, but at $1.20 for a pack of 5 it's now cheap enough to consider buying, especially when their usual price is 329% more.
Not sure when this will expire, but probably in line with weekly store specials.
Not sure if this is a location specific special as it doesn't appear in their catalogue.
In store only.
Stock still at Hornsby.

    Yea Australians get ripped off on Yakult.
    You go to Hong Kong and its 100mL per bottle, where as we get the cheapo 65mL… whats even more amazing is that its still cheaper than Australia…. WTF.

    Why is so expensive here? Our dairy products are supposed to be cheaper…

    • Cluster on 30/01/2014 - 16:16

      It's expensive as that's what the market will bear. Consumers are apparently happy to pay the asking price.

      Personally, I sometimes buy a pack and add one bottle to every Easyo yogurt batch I make (which is made from 80% cheap milk powder and not 100% expensive Easyo powder). It's live bacteria, it happily multiplies by itself given the right conditions. Buying Yakult at almost $12/litre is a bit silly.

    It's $3.95 on their site. More than likely expired or very close to it.

      sometimes I tend to go overboard and drink the whole pack at one go, one bottle after another.

    Think it is store specific. No special price at the coles I just visited

    Seeing the local product is made in Dandenong, Victoria it should be cheaper

    Comes to 70c when you recycle the bottles in S.A. Things are finally looking better for us………. finally. Can you believe we get 10c for these! Too bad its probably store specific :(.

    • Cluster on 30/01/2014 - 16:19

      Technically the 10c deposit only applies to containers purchased within SA/NT, but nobody checks that. What's interesting is that ALDI soft drinks also feature the 10c deposit despite there being no stores in SA/NT. It's impossible to legally use the deposit scheme for those.

  • R.R.P on 30/01/2014 - 16:06

    Store specific :( My local was standard price.

  • pinnacle on 30/01/2014 - 16:08

    Thanks., OP. Grabbed four of them from Hornsby store. Still some more left. Scanned the Lite Pack and it is at the regular price of $3.95

    probiotics / health warning

    inner health plus is much better than yakult: it has 25 billion bacteria per capsule, whereas yakult has only 6.5 billion per bottle with an excessive 18% sugar :(

      But yakult tastes better!

      • tonester on 30/01/2014 - 17:09

        due to the sugar? :)

    Is this genuine Yakult or the generic Coles brand 'made in Vietnam' version?

    • awangsap007 on 30/01/2014 - 17:41

      Mate, look at the receipt.

      perhaps the only choice information worth remembering from that webpage is:

      Name that strain

      The type of health benefit and amount of probiotics needed to achieve this benefit is strain specific. According to the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics, a probiotic must be defined at strain level, yet in clinical studies, regulatory records and product advertising, this is often not the case. When we hit stores for a product spot check, we found many are marketed and sold at a genus (eg lactobacillus) or species level (lactobacillus casei).

    SA Gets a 10c deposit on each yakult container bahahah. They are so small!

  • paloverde88 on 30/01/2014 - 20:27

    I buy the cheapo home brand with no colouring and wooden bottles, they are like $2.89 so even more expensive than this deal but at Westfield's Coles your Yakult was normal price.

    The mark up here in Australia is without rhyme or reason and without law and no limits. Basically the government here, ACCC Fair Trading just simply let the business run their own show. The reasoning being, if you don't like it, leave.
    Problem is, people here simply love high prices. They never left.

    Look at the house price..no matter how high it is marked up, there's always buyer. That's why businesses think it is just perfectly acceptable to mark-up like there's no limits since even houses here are marked up like there's no tomorrow. Should Yakult be any different?

    Made bet with friend who thought she could drink 20 of them (without spewing). After about 12 or so it got difficult.

    A minute after the 20th bottle….chunda

  • shortgum on 31/01/2014 - 02:58

    This deal is not true. Went off the Coles Hornsby 11pm and price is $3.95 with no discount.
