Oxfam Australia is sadly closing all e-commerce and physical operations for its gift stores; clearance sales are currently underway presumably until their closure in August.

In-Store
Discounts and sales seem to vary between stores.

At Westfield Sydney they had:

  • 30% off store wide
  • $10.50 inc. 30% off for fair trade 1kg single origin roasted coffee beans (Ethiopian, Honduran, Columbian)
  • $3.50 inc. 30% off for fair trade 250g single origin ground coffee beans (Ethiopian, Honduran, Columbian)
  • $2.10 inc. 30% off for fair trade 250g Africa blend
  • $10 for 5 x 95g fair trade dark Belgian chocolate (30% doesn't apply in this case)

In Launceston a friend said they had the 1kg single origin for for $7.50 in-store with at least Sumatran and Ethiopian origins, possibly more.

Adelaide - credit to zzymurgy

  • $12 for 1kg single origin roasted coffee beans
  • $4 for 200g single origin roasted coffee beans

Online

  • 20% off all items including sale items

Regarding the coffee I haven't tried it yet so can't provide a review and there don't seem to be roast dates, however there is a "use by date" so try and pick the bag with the latest date on stamped on the top.

The dark chocolate has been regarded by people in the office as "alright". I found it fairly sweet with a noticeable cocoa taste and a slightly chalky aftertaste

    Sadly? the former CEO was on about .25m per year without bonuses listed (you can google it) and with so many executives (google that too) getting the cream of the money it is no wonder. It is a sad fact that many charities now exist for the benefit of the staff and family and friends. I have given away so much money to charities in the past but there are very few worthwhile ones around. Yes i understand if they do a good job they should be rewarded but if they are closing it what kind of Job can it be?

      Its more of those sex scandals in the carribean that exposed them

      0.25m? I.e. 250K? That seems quite reasonable for a CEO of a multinational organisation although it depends on what bonuses he got too. How much should he earn? 150k? There are people with way simpler jobs than that who earn far more. The sex abuse scandals by Oxfam aid workers overseas are pretty bad and I didn't know about those.

      Regardless of the organization's recent failings however, ultimately retail workers (who aren't connected to sex scandals and certainly aren't earning 250k) are losing their jobs because of this closure and I stand by the use of the word "sadly". We're in this for the cheap stuff but it'd be a shame if people gleefully ran around in-store grabbing bags of coffee without being conscious of the staff who are wondering how they'll pay rent in two months.

        Yeah what percentage of each dollar reached where the donor thought it was going.

        The charity industry is dodgy af.

      • OhPee on 14/06/2019 - 14:01

        Former CEO not a he. Did you just assume a gender ;)

        • Subada on 14/06/2019 - 14:15

          Googling brought up Mark Goldring (former CEO of Oxfam GB) so no I didn't.

          Anyway that's besides the point, which is that 250K is not an unreasonable amount for a CEO to earn.

    The answer to global poverty is more capitalism… and free markets… not these shonky organisations.

      Hell yeah. First world people living the good life via the charity industry. Salvo's are about the only ones I'd trust and even they have their problems.

    In the Adelaide store, single-origin coffees are half price with another 20% off. I picked up 1kg of Yirgacheffe for $12, plenty still on the shelf. Use-by date is 10/19 but for this price I could just mix it with other beans. A 200g bag of the same stuff is $4.

    • Subada on 12/06/2019 - 17:14

      Thanks! I updated the post with that info.

    I would never support an organisation which has this kind of behaviour in parts of its culture. Let alone a charitable one.

      Every large organisation has large imperfections - you would struggle to do any normal shopping if you refused to support all bad behaviour.

      They do WAY more good than bad, but the media tends to pull our focus on to what's bad.

        Oxfam have a checkered history of controversial and questionable behaviour.

      • SporadicUser on 12/06/2019 - 21:18

        Nah they don't.

      "But rather than taking action against senior staff, they were simply allowed to resign and work elsewhere."

      Wow. That reminds me of a particular church.

    picked up some coffee from the Adelaide store a while ago, it's pretty old, taste is not great.

    Picked up a bag of Yirgacheffe, not very great and there was no grading of the actual bean quality. Gonna have to mix this in with the better quality stuff.
