Was just at Coles @ Morley Galleria and they were selling 1kg of Fewsters Farm unprocessed honey for $2 (was $12, save $10).

Expiry date is Nov 2016, but with something like honey, who cares about expiry dates? It goes on my list of other things that don't expire such as rice and vegemite.

Unsure if this is statewide or just limited to this one particular Coles store, but needless to say I bought 10 of them with plans to give some away to family and keep a decent reserve for myself.

EDIT: It has been confirmed that this is a deleted item but some stores may still have some left if you are remotely lucky. Probably not though.

    That won't last long.
    How many were on the shelf?

    • bonezAU on 28/03/2015 - 18:40

      Plenty in the main isle, I first noticed it on the end of an isle/corner near the bakery department, and I pretty much cleared that shelf of what was left, but once I got to the main isle where all the honey/jam/vegemite was there seemed to be heaps, and not too many people noticing how cheap it was.

    any honey at this price is worth a try if it's still in date, let alone a 1kg for $2.00

          Me too.

          I had some expired honey, so I asked online. Someone pointed me to an article about archaeologists eating honey found in 4000 year old tombs in Egypt…

          @mgowen:

          And this by a redditor:

          About 10 years ago I was on an archeological dig in northern Israel where we uncovered two sealed earthenware jars full of pre-Hellenistic honey (about 2200 years old). My dig leader told us the same thing, and then offered us the opportunity to taste it.

          Only a few people dared, me being one. It tasted like honey. We then sent the jars off to be examined. Back in the states, we were in a lab with most of the people who were on the dig, and the results of the tests came back in. My professor/dig leader read the opening few lines and then slowed. He said, somberly, "Now some of you took me up on my offer to try the honey. If you are one of those people, I offer you now the chance to leave the room."

          No one moved.

          "Ok…you asked for it. In the bottom of the jar of honey there remained the blanched bones of an infant child," he said. "What maybe I should have told you is that often pre-Hellenistic cultures would offer their stillborn children to the sun god in earthenware jars of honey. It seems over the last two thousand years all but the bones have disintegrated and been absorbed by the honey."

          TLDR: I've eaten 2000 year old dead baby.

    • Elision on 28/03/2015 - 23:40

      It looks like is a local brand, plus it says this on their website:

      In Perth, Fewster's Farm Honey is mostly being sold in Western Australia where it can be found on the shelves of Woolworth's & Coles supermarkets and select IGA stores.

      So I highly doubt it :( oh well!

          Not as lucky as you. I may have to pay a visit to their farm next week. A dozen of 1kg tub cost $84. Still at least 40% cheaper than what I get normally. Thanks to brought up this brand!

          +2

          @hotwinter:

          Wow, that works out at $7 per tub, and buying direct from the farm they are probably making more money than selling it through the supermarkets, so you're supporting them in a good way. It wouldn't surprise me if ColesWorths screw the farmers down to like $3 per 1kg tub then put it on the shelves for $12+

          I've tasted some of it already and it's fantastic quality honey. I wonder why Coles has it as a deleted item… who knows. They have probably got a bee farm over east that they've screwed down to $1.50 per kg so they don't need to buy the local stuff any more, hahaha. Dirty bastards they are.

  • Scrooge McDuck on 28/03/2015 - 19:15

    Anyone who keeps an eye on the Coles/Woolworths specials would know that any honey is very rarely on sale.

    I've never been sure why this is, since almost all other spreads are on very regular sale…

      hotwinter confirmed above he had called 8 stores and they all told him it was a deleted item, so that's obviously why they were trying to get rid of it so cheap/quickly.
