    It's not worth $77 - $3.80 for a 600ml drink, $3.20 for a tiny 90gm pack of chips, Arnotts shapes $2.25, $3.80 for a Monster, and nearly $4 for a Cornetto?? But still good.

    This is not worth it.

    Every single product on there can be found in cheaper and larger quantity's elsewhere.

    And that is not even including specials.

    Pay attention to the small size of each product, and the large price they are claiming.

    • bendertiger on 22/04/2011 - 12:51

      Magazines are the same price anywhere (with small exceptions). I figured it would be mainly useful if people have kids in the car that bug the crap out of them at service stations. Or if they find themselves buying snacks there anyway.

      I'll give you a giggle, I took woolworths to the AHRC for discrimination.

      I was told by various morons that there was no wonder they got away with lying to the AHRC! Because the government was afraid that if I did win and they were found guilty, that woolworths might be so pissed off that they would tell the government to 'stick it' and then shut up and leave the country…so the government would rather me lose one job than all the woolworths group employees losing theirs! Yes, we have morons like this in the country!

      No matter how many times I tried explaining woolworths broke the law or are making WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too much money to leave the country didn't sink in…and THESE PEOPLE VOTE!!!

      Add in the cost of the mags and it's still a good buy for some using supermarket prices then!
      While I'm not interested, there are plenty of people that buy more than fuel at petrol stations/7-Eleven stores (Crazy, I know, to us bargain hunters) and it may be a good buy for them.

      About us
      Little Star Gift Vouchers creates product specific gift vouchers for Australia's most popular consumer goods which are then redeemable at any Coles Express Nationwide

      They are located in Melbourne……..

    Why wouldn't they be using Coles Express pricing considering it says
    "are redeemable at over 650 Coles Express service stations across Australia"

    And it also says "just hand the gift voucher to the counter staff". Note it doesn't say register staff so as not to give the false impression you can use this at a Coles supermarket.

    Don't be an idiot comparing it to the supermarket prices. Read people. Read.

      How does comparing prices across different stores make you an idiot?

      By your logic, we should never check booko.com.au when buying at Borders, because hey, if it's cheaper than it usually is at this particular store, it still counts as a bargain right? Who cares if it can be found cheaper elsewhere?

      • AntMan76 on 22/04/2011 - 16:15

    They also make a great gift idea! I gave a few to some co-workers and my boss….im still getting a benefit;)

    I bought 2 booklets.

  • Gaz1 on 22/04/2011 - 17:07

    It looks like this is the website for Little Star:
    www.littlegiftvouchers.com.au/
    The ASIC database indicates they changed their name on 11/4/11 (i.e. about a week ago!). Previously they were School Vouchers Australia.
    I guess the reason to compare the prices of the items in other shops is to get an idea of how much REAL value you would get out of them it you add up how much you would spend on the items you are interested in at the supermarket. You also need to take into account that you only have 3 months to use them & one of the websites mentions on 2 vouchers at a time (not sure about these ones, though).

  • qwerks on 22/04/2011 - 17:17

    Geez… Are you serious? Pretty good "deal" for COTD and Coles: Get people to pay up front on a bunch of vouchers and products most people would unlikely buy at Coles express otherwise. Think about it.. Even if you are rich or way to time poor to pay the stupid prices at the service station for your sugar/sodium addiction you probably will pull over to the nearest servo instead of holding out till you come to a Coles. And if you do then they got you.. you'll probably spending money on fuel or other crap.

    "We’re expecting to sell 10,000 books." that's a great deal for them!

    "Voucher items are 100% guaranteed to be in stock" it's like they are printing money: just consider the prices of what they pay for the goods vs what you do.

    I repeat pretty good deal if your COTD or Coles. If you think you gonna save some money by purchasing in advance just add it to your weekly shop. Deal? Yeah right.

  • shmahoo on 22/04/2011 - 22:47

    I'm so tempted to buy one but trying to think of reasons why not.

    Here goes with my "valuing" of the items (this is personal for me, so you may not agree with it.

    •Little Star On-The-Go Gift Voucher Book includes:
    •1 x New Idea OR Famous magazine voucher - MY value $1
    •1 x Better Homes or Men’s Health magazine voucher - value $2
    •1 x Prevention magazine voucher - MY value $0
    •2 x Pepsi/Solo 600ml vouchers - MY value $1 each
    •1 x Monster Energy Drink 500ml voucher - MY value $1
    •1 x Water 600ml voucher - MY value $1
    •1 x Coffee (standard size) voucher - MY value $1
    •1 x Meat Pie 160gm voucher - MY value $1
    •1 x Cornetto voucher - MY value $1
    •1 x Donut voucher - MY value $.50
    •4 x Mars 53gm voucher - MY total value $2
    •1 x Nobby’s Peanuts 50gm voucher - MY value $0.50
    •1 x Smith’s Original chips 90gm voucher - MY value $0.50
    •1 x Mentos Aqua Kiss Gum voucher - MY value $0.50
    •2 x Arnott’s Shapes 70gm vouchers - MY total value $1

    So that gives me the total value of $14 by my warped valuing system, of what they're worth to me.
    Add to that the $10 Catch of the Day Voucher, and that totals up to $24, which is above the purchase price of $22 inc postage. I know I could easily spend $20 with them in the next however long period of time.

    But I'm expecting there to be a catch (maybe that's why they are called that), so I am going to be strong and just say no (like resisting good sex with an ugly person).

    Are you people serious? You're complaining about these products being overpriced at Coles Express, or incorrect values being listed next to the items when you're getting it ALL for under $20…

    I assume you lack basic reading literacy skills or have just jumped on the bandwagon after seeing the first few replies because it clearly states numerous times that they are GIFT VOUCHERS NOT COUPONS! Hell it's even in the product name… "Little Star On-The-Go Gift Vouchers!"

    Coupons entitle you to predetermined discounts on products, usually a % of the item price or X amount of dollars off. Gift vouchers on the other hand allow you to receive a certain product or service in exchange for the voucher. Learn the difference.

    For the ignorant few who just don't get it…
    "Works like cash - just hand the gift voucher to the counter staff, no other purchase necessary!"
    "There are no strings attached - the purchase price you pay here is all you have to pay, and once you receive your book, just take any gift voucher into your local Coles Express for redemption - there’s no extra spending necessary!"

    • gilbarc on 23/04/2011 - 00:54

      I think we all know what a coupon is. What people are complaining about is the fact that these items are barely worth $20, and that the prices listed are exaggerated to make this deal seem a lot better than it actually is.

    JOKE-OF-THE-DAY are proud to bring you: Crap, crap & more crap …

    Just look at the list - junk everywhere, junk food, junk drinks, junk mags, from the Junk-Of-The-Day merchants who deliver "$30 mystery specials" - worth $0 - for $4 in envelopes with no branding because they don't want you to realise what junk you paid for! - and hope you'll forget about it over Easter.

    Unhealthy "food", unhealthy drinks and unhealthy mags advertising more unhealthy stuff at unhealthy prices - I would suggest there should be a health warning about consuming too much of this stuff at once!

  • Kranbone on 23/04/2011 - 10:13
    +5

    Everyone has different perceptions on the deal especially regarding it's value. While I dislike much of the food due to it's unhealthy nature, I still find it's a bargain given that a convenience store generally has a higher price (due to the convenience, duh).

    While it might not be a bargain for you, many people who do travel and commute a lot (sales reps, or even those with pesky kids) may actually get some use out of this bargain. I'm giving it a positive. What works for some, may not work for others.

      although I have no intention of buying this, I completely agree with you. I had a job once that involved me driving around with barely a break inbetween getting to my next destination. Although I always had a packed lunch with me & healthy snacks, I got stuck having to buy things at expensive places like corner stores, convenience stores & service stations when I found myself a little peckish.
