500gm (100 Pieces) Christmas Candy Canes for $0.30 (from Target, Whyalla, SA)

750

Discovered at Target, Whyalla, SA. Don't know if they're at other stores.

Initially I thought that it was 30 cents PER candy cane.

BUT….

I've never been so happy to be so wrong in my life (Ed Note - Not quite true. There was that one time that I thought I was going to lose a testicle during a ski accident vs barb wire fence….)

They state that they have 100 per box. I had to take one back because it had only 98 in them. So check carefully…..actually no. No, I didn't. I'm Chinese, and I know that if I open them up to check, I'll never get the sticky tape back in the right place if I give them away as belated Christmas gifts.

The lady at the checkout asked me, "Why are you buying 10?"

My answer?

"It was because I only had 3 bucks in my pocket. Do I look like a diabetic dentist to you??!!"

I did a small experiment. It took me 2 seconds to unwrap a candy cane, 3 seconds to chew and eat. It therefore takes a person about 8 mins 20 secs to consume a whole box (assuming there's really 100 in there), so even chomping at full speed, it would cost you $2.16 per hour to get a sugar hit.

That's actually not bad value for money.

    LOL! The best description on an OzBargain deal that I've ever come across.

    PS: I live in Henley Beach South so if I had been around Whyalla area I would have bought the rest of them. Diabetes doesn't scare me; I scare diabetes. :)

    Love the description!

    Not gonna be able to drive all the way to Whyalla (2-3hours) just for this deal, though still upvoting. Will check Port Lincoln store tomorrow and post if it has the same/a similar deal.

  • Heaps of these left at Target on Bourke Street, Melbourne. They are 60 cents each there though, not 30.

  • Some stock at Port Lincoln, SA, also $0.30/pack
