Just went into Coles and noticed the Baby Formula was on Sale for $17.60 (was $22).
Bought 3 cans for my sister in law.
Go get it before the foreigners find out and clean up the shelves!

Buys 3 tins - blames foreigners… logic?
3 cans only lasts 12 days on average.
FYI, "foreigners" don't buy stage 1 & 4. Plenty of stocks everywhere and they don't buy this brand.
NAN and S26 stock is plenty everywhere. S26 is even cheaper $12.50 in Woolworths plus 5% eGiftcard.
Go get your fact straight !!! Typical "Fake News" mentality.
Stage 1 is for under 6 month, why do you even bother, breast milk is already enough and free and much better for toddler than baby formula.
Stage 4 is for 2+ years old, don't waste your money, drink fresh milk $2/L
not everyone can produce enough milk to feed a baby. That's why you bother.
I agree with you but most women have enough breast milk so Stage 1 is not in high demand hence plenty of stock for all brands including Aptamil and the crazy expensive A2.
"plenty of stock everywhere" - Maybe in your area but not where I live (Ashfield)
It's not 'Fake News', I have two daughters (aged 4 and 2), getting formula for them have been a huge inconvenience for me due to where we are located.
They have used NAN, A2 and Aptamil. All have been difficult to acquire at times.@simpocleaning: If you are talking about Stage 1 shortage then you should take it up with the store for not having enough stock allocation.
Your daughter is older than 2yo and you choose to pay for the expensive formula instead of fresh milk? Unless there is medical reason for that then you should not complain about buying these popular brands. Besides stage 4 is not really shortage as for the reason above.
There are still plenty of other brands and it is cheaper. If ppl still choose to specific high demand brand then face the inconvenience themselves. This is not really something like Australia is completely got no baby formula for toddler. It is the issue of YOU want to get specific brands. If you want the specific brand and want to compete for it, then do it like the Daigou, go to store early to queue up to buy. Or choose other brands which is also Australian brands.
FYI, you can also order the popular brand Aptamil directly online. All these fake news only mention half of the fact to get reader attention.
And all these supermarket also made hundreds of millions of dollar profit from selling baby formula, to be honest as a seller it is not really in their interest to limit sale. This is kinda PR show only.
not everyone can produce enough milk
Been through this. There can be many causes from problems breastfeeding - its not always easy,
but people always say "I can't produce enough" when the problem is more likely elsewhere.
Mothers need support to persist, and help the babies attach properly, etc.
When breastfeeding fails, expressing and bottle feeding often works, unpleasant though that is.Or, sometimes you can't produce enough.
It's judgemental attitudes like yours that lead to mothers being overwhelmed with guilt while their babies literally starve. Breast may be best, but fed is better.I'm not pointing at one woman and telling her what to do. Of course that would be dumb.
But statistically, too many give up too quickly, because they lack support and knowledge. The problem is that a lot of first time mothers these days have never cared for a baby before. A generation or two ago, that was almost unheard of. Every woman had watched their younger siblings, cousins or nieces/nephews being breastfed, and seen other mothers learning. They had a more realistic view than those who have only seen it on TV.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4508856/

S26 Stage 3 is $12.50 in WW this week catalogue if anyone needs it.
Dey jook our jerrrrbs … I mean created more jerrrrbs!
Please stop making racial comments, Anyone is allowed to pay and buy from a supermarket.You dont need a passport aey
Not a racist, just stating facts. My father is actually of Chinese descent.
I have no issue with them buying but they are actually ignoring the 3 can rule and not saving any for everybody else. It's not good when you have a baby with you and need to travel to the next suburb just to try and find them some baby formula.
They don't buy this brand because it's perceived as much lower quality. Now go and buy some A2M shares if it really bothers you that people buy a product which is put on a shelf and offered for sale.
I find it in very poor taste to be promoting this inferior product during World Breastfeeding Week 2017 .
Get of your damn high horse, some people HAVE to use formula for their babies. Not everyone gave up breastfeeding without trying every last option possible. Your attitude and judgement is more damaging than whatever positive message you're trying to spread about breastfeeding.
I ain't judging anyone. Its a bit like cesareans - you can look at epidemiological data and see that the numbers are too high, given the risks and benefits. But you cannot easily point to individuals and say "you are one of the excess".
Formulae, like caesarians, saves lives. Better too many than none.
A friend of mine was getting dirty looks and even comments for bottle-feeding a new baby in public, to my surprise and shock. So I know where you are coming from. The busy-bodies had no was of knowing the milk was expressed, and there was a medical problem with the baby.
that's right, please just think more about the affect your previous comments could have on a struggling, stressed out and emotionally vulnerable new mum.
I don't think we should censor facts or supported opinions because somebody might get offended.
The most disadvantaged, vulnerable mums have the lowest breastfeeding rates, but also the greatest potential benefits - emotional, financial, nutritional.
And for all those who neg my post, use your brain to read not emotion. FYI, I have seen a Caucasian guy picking up 16 tins of A2 the popular brand today so not only Asians buying them all.
And those who complain about ppl buying, this is similar to the inflated housing issue. You who complained about house price so high yet they are the one who go to buy more and speculate the price to go higher. If you see the profit you also go to buy more yet complain others bought it all. And when the price crashed like in the case of Bellamy or during the summer time when there are more stocks (early 2017) supermarket has quietly increased the quantity limit to 8 tins (Woolworths) and 10 tins (Coles) and they will cry if nobody buys.
How much sales do you think all these many baby milk powder companies can sell to such a small Australian market.
18 minutes? It'd be gone already :)
