  Good price for Weetbix. Also the DVD-R offer is a continuation of last week, in case you needed some and forgot to buy last week.

    Is $10 for 30 considered a good price? Only I'd expect to pay about 20c a disk, and that's 33c.

    Do you know how well these Kodaks perform? Thinking about getting a spindle.

      They're probably CMC or MCC code which means run-of-the mill, same as TDK, Mitsubishi, Imation, etc. Comes out to equivalent of $16.67 per 50 spindle, 3 or 4 bucks dearer than the cheapest you can get, but if you don't wish to make a trip to MSY, wait in a queue, or pay postage, Coles might be a convenient place to get some.

      If somebody bought those, please post the media code. You can read the media code following these instructions on Windows:

      For Linux use dvd+rw-mediainfo

      I didn't get any as I'm flush with DVDs at the moment, but I passed the price info to a non-techie friend who has been dubbing TV programs on a PVR.

      Kodaks are strictly average. On second thoughts, they make poor quality discs, and are easily outdone by some of the smaller brands. If you want quality, go Verbatim.

    Well I don't think they claim to be the 'fresh food people' like woolworths do lol

    Craze on 19/01/2011 - 12:18

    Really? Which food had mould on it?

    • 

      jv on 19/01/2011 - 14:01

      Blackberries… That's 3 times i've found mouldy ones in the last month…

      and i don't mean just one packet, there were several…

        It's not good that they're on the shelf; but it's expected considering the wet summer for many growers.
        Berries + Rain = Mould

        I've seen mouldy blackberries too, but they were left on a clearance trolley marked down by 66%. Otherwise I don't think I've came across mouldy stuff at their stores before.

    Bought a pack of 6 crumpets, looked fine on the out side, went to toast 4, and the 4th and 5th were black from mould… if I only had 2, may have missed the small green spots growing on the others. Couple days before use by date.

    Also saw a sealed pack of pita bread or something sitting on the shelf all mouldy as well :(

      I got onions which looked fine on the outside, squishy and smelly on the inside. Not only does it cost $, it is the inconvenience of having to go to the shop again.

  'Heinz Squeezy Sauce 5000ml - $1.14'

  That is a good price for 5kg of sauce, but Im not sure even our family could use that much in 6 months.

  • 

    bargainhunter on 19/01/2011 - 12:36

    It'd be more than 5kg I'd say.
    Any boffins care to weigh in?

    • 

      ptfff on 19/01/2011 - 13:48

      i don't know the correct ratios but it'd certainly be more than 5kg. All that packaging, all the additives and thick tomato-ness of it.

      • 

        2024 on 21/01/2011 - 07:09

        Yep, water is ~ 1kg per litre and sauce is definitely heavier, I'd estimate ~1.1-1.2kg per litre. :)

    It'd take more than a few shakes of the sauce bottle to finish 5000mL…

  jg3374 on 19/01/2011 - 14:39

  Opps, corrected to 500ml size lol!! 5000kg would be a whole lotta 'Big Red'
