      Nachos is the way to go if they're not fresh. Combine one tray with 180 degrees of oven heat, Doritos plus a ton of cheese, chipotle salsa, kidney beans, mince, tomatoes, avocado, onion then top with sour cream when done. Ultimate noms!

      Yes, you should go back and get half your money back if you pay full price cause it's on special(half price)until Tuesday next week.

      • Associated2024 @ Woolworths on 28/08/2014 - 01:31

        If he was charged full price, they could go back for a full refund, as per the scanning policy.

      Well, no. We have the right to question this deal as you are unable to say much on it and no one is able to 100% confirm this price. Hence, treating this deal as unconfirmed is correct.

      BUT if I'm right then all skeptics need to inbox an apology to me.

      We don't have to do anything for you, if you don't provide concrete evidence how do you expect us not to be skeptical?

      What possible gain do I have from posting a bullshit deal?

      No one could possibly gain anything from a Distributed Denial of Service attack on ozbargain but they still do it.
      Who know? people do thing for no ridiculous reason sometime.

      If you are scare that providing your source for this deal might get you in trouble for what ever reason, you can confide in the mod and ask them to mark the deal as confirm. Everything can be done in confidential.

  • TIKS on 28/08/2014 - 20:37
    +26

    Uh Oh, don't tell me TIKS has been on the money the whole time!

    For over a year I have had great deals come past me in different forms, through work and friendships…. I always think I should post them here if they are worthy….. For once I did and what a bloody crap fight that has been.

    I get that we are all on here looking to save a $$ and enjoy a bargain, but SOME, not all, but SOME of you are dead set mongrels and don't deserve a damned thing!

    A Bargain is defined as "a thing bought or offered for sale much more cheaply than is usual or expected." So in my thoughts it is something that you NEVER EXPECTED to get, or at least for the price you paid. Some of you act like it is your bloody god given right to that product at that price.

    I think I will save my effort and time next time and not bother. Hopefully the Karma train takes the great people on OB to places they want at a discounted price, and takes the right royal pricks to bankruptcy!

    Oh, Legs of Lamb will also be $6.99 at WW for the next 11 days.

    • happychild100 on 28/08/2014 - 20:49
      +1

      You posted a 'NEVER EXPECTED' deal 2 days before it goes live with nothing to back it up but a couple of comments that can be assumed that you work at Woolies, what did you expect with nothing solid to back it up? I too am surprised it was allowed to stay but i'll leave that judgement to the mods.

      On the other hand, it's also surprising to see them drop the price even lower for the weekend considering it's already at half price, not that us doritos loving people will mind…

      I didn't doubt you personally as it would be silly to post this and for it not to happen but you can see why people have negged it surely, this deal is very much in the grey area of whether it should of stayed or not..

      • TIKS on 28/08/2014 - 20:53
        +3

        Would OB prefer me post solid info/pics based on what I have been given/told/informed and potentially cost somebody/people their jobs just so they can get a cheap pack of chips?

        I guess its not "conventional" OB style, but when did humanity lose the ability to simply "trust someone"

        • happychild100 on 28/08/2014 - 21:01

          I think you would be ok now, you've posted a confirmed deal as well as a few other comments, it's safe to say you work at Woolies.

          The issue i think is if, for example, i still worked at IGA and posted their late week specials a couple days beforehand when i would find out, even if it is 100% true, i might not have any deals/comments to back it up and hence the deal is closed as a 'unconfirmed deal'.

          That's the way i'm seeing all this personally anyway.

          Edit: Thanks for letting us know about the doritos, i look forward to buying a heap tomorrow.

        • highdealer on 28/08/2014 - 21:31

          Again as i posted above.

          If you are scare that providing your source for this deal might get you in trouble for what ever reason, you can confide in the mod and ask them to mark the deal as confirm. Everything can be done in confidential.

          How are we suppose to know that your insider knowledge/source was confidential and would cause you or someone trouble?

          All i did was to ask for some clarification and all you had to do was to include a line saying:

          I know about this through an a source that would not want to be identify or something similar and we would probably accept it.

          You could also show the mod the evidence or next time talk to a mod first before posting an unconfirmed deal. You should have no problem with "trusting" the mod would you?

          I have revoke my negative vote since this deal is more likely than not legit. But you could have handle this way better than calling us mongrel, demanding unreasonable apology, and throwing and tantrum like a 5 years old.

          Have a nice day!

    • Munificent on 28/08/2014 - 20:51

      Don't let the neggers bring you down - if this turns out to be true, (which the evidence points toward it being a genuine deal) you will have the last laugh.
      The positive votes heavily outnumber the negative ones to give you an indication of where the community stands on this.

      Thanks for sharing.

    • 9674784 on 28/08/2014 - 21:30

      Put a pin in that ballooned ego mate. Almost no one doubted you. They simply asked for proof, because no unconfirmed deal has ever been able to stay on the front page for so long.

  • Unorthodox on 28/08/2014 - 21:04
    +3

    Obviously some people would have preferred OP share proof of the deal to users or even a mod (taking the reddit model of confirming in AMAs).
    I personally do not think that sharing insider information is necessary for a site like this because it will lead to team members, managers of the store who have provided that information to be abused.

    In this case, Ozbargainers even those who have negged will most likely have NOT bought doritos after seeing this. I'm sure everyone who has seen this will have decided to wait and see if this deal comes true and then go buy it.
    Negs are undeserved but insider deals should be discussed between the moderators and Admins.

    Pros of having insider deals:
    People who have seen this will have saved 59c per packet as they will have waited until Friday onwards to purchase.
    You guys do not lose anything except maybe missing out on buying these for two days.

    Negatives of insider deals:
    Obviously some are false and people end up being disappointed.
