I somehow missed this in their catalogue but was pretty chuffed to find it in store today.

Aldi have 380g bags of whole peppercorns for $2.99. I go through a lot of these and generally the cheapest is the 190g containers at Woolworths, on special around $4, normally around $6. Haven't seen this cheaper on Ebay either.

I didn't think a lot of the Himalayan Pink Salt at the time (not talking the "health" value, just "real" value), but I checked and the 5kg bag I have here cost me $25 at the time and is now around $30 on Ebay.

I think the peppercorns will go quick. Not a lot left at my local. A lot of salt left though.

They also have rock salt same price as the Himalayan but don't feel it's worth a mention here.

        Get up on this!

  • AsukaST on 23/04/2019 - 18:39

    Where is their product of origin? Thanks

      Salt is usually Pakistan

        Australia imports salt? Surely we have enough here.

          Himalayan salt is from Pakistan.

        Checked and it is Pakistan.

      Haven't bought the salt but will check when I do.

      The peppercorns are "Product of Vietnam".

      Which is more descriptive than my Hoyts container. "Assembled in Australia from imported components".

        The Hoyts description makes me think of an IKEA flat pack I’ve just put together.

        Thanks for the letting us know about the ALDI peppercorns. I’ll have to pick some up tomorrow.

    You got lucky, it's not due to go on sale until tomorrow!

    • biggweilo on 24/04/2019 - 18:41

      I think it may have have been sold sooner.

      Thanks OP. Was at my local Aldi a bit before 10AM. Found the last 2 at the back under a mountain of salt and snagged them.

  • GregMonarch on 23/04/2019 - 21:11

    I wish Aldi would make up their mind… First they sell Himalayan salt, then I get close to running out so I go to buy more - gone - have to buy from Woolworths. Three weeks later it's back again.

    • Butterfly Gocha on 23/04/2019 - 21:51

      ride the wave of emotions, then get to the point where you hoard and analyse each weekly catalogue waiting for it to come back

    • pe arl on 23/04/2019 - 21:55

      And I wish they'd make up their mind about special buys items. Saw banana flour in their catalogue starting last week, drove around several Aldi stores on day 1 but there was nothing. Store staff had no idea what I was talking about and their CSR said it had been pulled from sale. Then why advertise it? Grr

    Himalayan salt is always 1kg for $2.99 at Coles / Woolworths.

    No deal.

    • tonydav on 24/04/2019 - 07:20

      That's the fine stuff, not suitable for a grinder. This is for grinders.

      And the peppercorn prices? 75% off the regular price at Woolies and Coles doesn't count as a bargain??

      • raiseyoursteaks on 24/04/2019 - 07:29

        The deal on peppercorn. I'm heading there today. Btw I heard ALDI is having some bulk sale today, anyone heard this too?

        • tryagain on 24/04/2019 - 07:44

          I think 380g of peppercorns would classify as bulk!

        Fair call. Happy to revoke.

    What's special about Himalayan salt? Wikipedia says it's nothin but ordinary salt with some mineral impurities.

    • EnALup on 24/04/2019 - 10:17

      You got it. Minerals…

      • serin on 24/04/2019 - 10:32

        So what? You tap water contains minerals as well.

        The salt has been claimed to provide numerous health benefits, but no scientific support exists for such claims.

        Some salts mined in the Himalayas are not suitable for use as food or industrial use without purification due to impurities.

        According to one estimate, Himalayan salt is 98% sodium chloride, with negligible levels of minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium. Himalayan salt is nutritionally similar to table salt, though it lacks the beneficial iodine added to commercial iodised table salt.

        • EnALup on 24/04/2019 - 13:18

          So what?
          Move on.

        • biggweilo on 24/04/2019 - 23:50

          I certainly could not taste the difference between Himalayan Pink Salt (grinded or refined) and iodised table salt and have long felt this to be a clever marketing ploy more than anything else.

          I see Pink salt as a trendy fad you would expect to compliment a wanky restaurant that serves steaks on a cutting board and reproduced vintage jam jars as drinking glasses.

          Nonetheless, if grinded pink salt is what is needed to create a MKR standard masterpiece then this is a great buy.

          Fresh ground pepper on the other hand has a great smell and has cooking uses too. Definitely a superior product.

      • sir_bazz on 24/04/2019 - 13:43

        Himalayan salt varies in color from white to opaque to pink. The pink color is due to the presence of iron oxide. You may know it by its common name - rust.

      I think its probably because it looks better in your insta pics.

  • spicychic on 24/04/2019 - 11:09

    @11:09 - The Bundoora Aldi has peppercorns and olives, but no sundried tomatoes.

  • rob2018 on 25/04/2019 - 11:42

    Hope those are telicherry peppercorns (like the ones I just got from India!)

    Couldn't find peppercorns at my local aldi - this made me very salty.
