Okay so what are you going to do with 3.8L of genuine Tabasco Sauce?

No, who'd ask that? This is ozbargain. Buy now, worry later. I figure I go through one of the large (200ml) bottles per year, so this gives me enough for 19 years.

And it's a bargain.

If you've been in a box and don't know what Tabasco Sauce is, this from their website:

Since 1868, TABASCO® brand Original Red Sauce has been handcrafted with just three ingredients: aged red peppers, Avery Island salt and distilled vinegar. This simple recipe produces a unique pungent flavor that works with just about any cuisine. Gluten free, with zero calories and less sodium than other pepper sauces, Original Red is sold in over 180 countries and territories worldwide.

This was at Costco Marsden Park. There were about 3 bottles left after I purchased mine. Not sure if it's at any other Costco store.

    great…ive also been looking for a 19 year supply of tabasco sauce. sorted! :D

      You'll be laughing when the zombie apocalypse comes, well the first 19 years before you run out of Tabasco.

        And when the zombies do break in, they'll probably be quite grateful that you laid on enough Tabasco for them to be able to douse you and your entire family in it before they chow down :D

      Tabasco/hot sauce doesn't "go off" does it, I've had lots of hot sauce past it's use by day and it's been fine - just like Vegemite :)

        It doesn't "go off" per se but the oxidation makes it a nice red colour to the murky brown

        Wrong.

        Australian law requires a use by date if it goes bad.

        A best before date is the one you can go past. It's not as good to consume, but still safe

        Source: tertiary nutrition qualification

        Why this would go bad? No idea. Don't know what's in it. Id trust the manufacturer not to be wrong though. They typically try to extend not reduce shelf life. Botchelism? :p

        • Scrooge McDuck on 02/03/2018 - 14:49

          Source: tertiary nutrition qualification

          I don't doubt you, but an appeal to authority isn't a valid source.

          I'm interested to see a valid source from the Aus Gov. Do you have one?

          It has a lot of sodium and vinegar in manufacturing process, doesn’t become an issue with botchelism, just loses its color and taste with time, but is still edible, is better left in fridge, like tomato sauce should be.

        • LordSydney on 04/03/2018 - 00:38
          +2

          Claims to have tertiary nutrition qualification but can’t spell botulism correctly. Something doesn’t add up here.

        • franco cozzo on 04/03/2018 - 05:52

        • El Hefe on 23/03/2018 - 15:09

          Without looking, I would say ingredients are:

          Chilli
          Vinegar
          salt

          Not much to go "off". :)

      • Micko179 on 03/03/2018 - 20:24
        +1

        No, it doesn't go 'off' but they do have a 'best' before date, which is usually around a year after it was manufactured, I've got about 10 litres of the 'Chipotle' version I imported from the States, it's amazingly delicious!

    • RedHab on 02/03/2018 - 09:35
      +3

      It is already fermented. They salt chillies and leave them in Oak barrels for a year in the Louisiana heat. Then they add vinegar.

      It is unlikely to go off via bacterial or fungal action, but might oxidise like opened red wine.

      • AustriaBargain on 02/03/2018 - 10:37

        Mmm, sauce that's been oxidising for 10 of the 19 years it's been open. Yum.

  • GunnerMcDagget on 02/03/2018 - 09:08

    In the past 3 months I've been to Marsden Park costco 4 times and it has always been a bit higher than this price (usually around $24) Everytime the Mrs asks me if I want it and each time I tell her how it takes me a year to go through a small bottle.

    Still tempted to get it just for the glass bottle. I've only ever seen it at Marsden Park though. Never seen it at Casula or Auburn.

    • ATTS on 02/03/2018 - 10:10

      Is 24$ the full price of the gallon of tabasco? If so is the expiry longer? Also thats so cheap compared to usa foods au

      • GunnerMcDagget on 02/03/2018 - 12:30

        No idea on the price but that's the price I've always seen it at.

        In regard to expiry, I have two bottles of Tabasco sauce (buffalo style and normal style) and neither has a used by or best before date.

        Personally I know I've had a Tabasco sauce bottle sitting in the fridge for 5 years and it has still been good. Cupboard should be alright too as long as it doesn't get too hot or get direct sunlight.

    Grabbed one of these at the docklands Costco a couple of years ago for $10. Probably the best purchase I've ever made from there. I've refilled one of the smaller bottles a couple of dozen times now and it's barely made a dent in the gallon.
