Sorry, but you'll have to take my word on this one as I have no photographic proof. Was at Coles around 30 minutes ago, and spotted the front page of the new catalogue next to the register. Asked the check-out-lady if I could take it, but she kindly refused and hid it under the counter. Memorised the Sirena & Tim Tam's then posted straight to OzB. Starts Wednesday.

EDIT: Thanks to imissbeans & tchi6 for the Connoisseur add with these comments.

Here are the current on-line prices:

          @stevegates:
          I am sure this info will be useless to 99.99% of people.. but The Barracks - Petrie Terrace Coles (Brisbane,QLD) is stocked out of the Chilli 96% fat free variety of Sirena Tuna. I was only brave enough to ask for a raincheck for a qty of 48. They informed me they would receive more stock on Wednesday.. i feel like i should be making several more trips to collect additional rain checks, or possibly adding a zero to the end of the quantity which was written down :P

  • papagoose on 08/02/2015 - 20:59
    +3

    Sirena is great, noticeably better quality. One thing to be aware of is that not all of them are pole and line/sustainability caught, the different flavours are sourced and processed differently so only some of them don't use nets (purse seine I think) - it's marked on the labels

        • Boshait on 09/02/2015 - 12:19

          @Tal_Shiar: Even serial refunders with receipts get increasingly frosty treatment in my experience. Policy says you can get a change of mind refund with a receipt so it wont help them, but they start asking for your drivers license, going over the returned item with a fine tooth comb, that sort of thing.

          Of course if you have advance notice of a sale you can buy at full price now, do a receiptless return keeping the receipt, buy again at half price then return for a full price refund using the old receipt.

          I once bought rechargeable batteries from Mitre 10 only to find the same product half price at Woolworths the next day. As I'd already opened the batteries from Mitre 10 I bought sale pack from Woolworths and returned it to Mitre 10 using the receipt.

    I know not everyone can get to ALDI but they sell this exact same tuna for around this price every day. When I say the exact same stuff as far as I can tell it is Sirena tuna rebranded. Same thing with the Connoisseur ice cream mentioned above. ALDIs's everyday price is around the Coles special price, possibly cheaper.

    • sev snape on 08/02/2015 - 23:33

      I agree with the tuna, I buy their 'sirena' knock off (or rebrand), it's in a yellow/green tin and tastes exactly the same.

      • MikeKulls on 08/02/2015 - 23:38

        That's the stuff, tastes delicious. They also sell a cheaper tuna which is equivalent to John West, not sure if it's rebranded John West but it tastes equally as bad. :-)

      I'm a big fan of Aldi but i disagree re the connoisseur copy, it's not as creamy and tastes sweeter.

      • MikeKulls on 09/02/2015 - 22:22

        I'm not certain but I believe it is the same exact stuff rebranded. I had the cookies and cream side by side and couldn't tell the difference. The ingredients where the same and the weight of the ice cream was the same. The cookies and cream is lighter than say vanilla.

      • AssociatedSkinnerr @ Coles on 11/02/2015 - 01:23

        I agree, it tastes different to conniseur.

    I should thank peters for dropping the "Strawberry and cream" Connoisseur ice cream. This sale would have had me stocking up on those little 1 litre containers of health food.
    Though I really do miss that flavour :-)
    The Coles version, and the Sara Lea versions do not taste as creamy (So they may not be as bad for you).
