Seen in Coles Toowoomba Northpoint. It’s not on their web site so I’m guessing it’s a promotional deal and may not be national. If you’re a fan of Kewpie (and I don’t know many people who aren’t) this is great value considering the normal price for 300g is $4.90.
Heaps of stock on the shelf as of 5pm this arvo.
That's a lot of white stuff
So swallow it
I grabbed some in Vic Park coles WA for this price
Always that price at Spud Shed in Bentley. Not sure if they still stock it though.
The Spud Shed - love it - that is so phoucing aussie for a f&V
I have found Asian supermarkets are usually cheaper. I haven't bought on recently so I am unable to confirm
Yeah, I swear they’re $6ish normally from Asian grocers
This isn't the normal sized (300g) one. It's 1kg.
Yeah, the 1kg bottle is normally $6ish from Asian grocers.
@[Deactivated]: Although marked as was $10.49, I've purchased several bottles of Kewpie for $6.99 or lower from MCQ in Perth, as per this ad.. Not short dated, and always tons of stock.
Every asian grocery shop has this nearly same price.
Kewpie Mayonnaise sold at supermarket is made in Thailand and defendant taste from Japanese made.
Japanese made Kewpie Mayonnaise is prohibited to import to Australia because contains egg yolk more than 10%.
Some japanese grocery sells white cap Kewpie Mayonnaise but this is not the same (less egg less tasty).
My head hurts
Curious as to how defendant tastes.
Appeal-ing😉
HOLD IT!
So that's why the egg and mayo sandwiches at Tokyo take like heaven….
Coles bought some supersized products around a month ago and are struggling to clear them off the shelves (at least at my local Coles).
Same at Eastland.
It’s part of the seasonal promotional range, the changeover will be on Monday and Tuesday. So all of this stuff will drop in price on those two days (depending on when the plannogram is implemented) - as it’s seasonal stock and will become clearance once the new plannogram is implemented. How low the price goes will depend on the store, some reduce the prices more than others.
Source: am merchandiser and implement these plannograms, don’t work directly for Coles however.
Plannogram.
Yes, Planogram
Planogram strategies are in play when retailers arrange related products within reach of each other. In such cases, planogram designs serve as in-store marketing tools that inadvertently encourage shoppers to buy several related items at one time. As surroundedbymaniacs did
Product suppliers pay close attention to planograms because they know product placement affects sales.

@fdawg: Deliberately advertent (intentional) for the retailer to boost sales. Designed for inadvertent browsers to find & buy.
But inadvertent for the consumer who unintentionally "discovers" the temptingly grouped bargains, as surroundedbymaniacs did😉
It's always good to have an insight into the strategies used to sell to us. A client was a Rep for Unilever selling to Coles & Woolies - I got paid to learn from her! But she never introduced me to the Planogram!
@magic8ballgag: I guessed that (unusual & interesting looking / sounding word - at least that's how I saw it). That's why I repeated it in my comment😉
But I wasn't sure I understood its use. Seeing your comment, prompted me to Google, learn & share👍
Must drop it into conversation next time I'm at a supermarket😀
I've seen this in my local store but didn't buy it as I often make my own mayo. However, I did buy a 5kg Barilla penne bag for $6, a 5kg Barilla spaghetti bag for $6 and two 2kg San Remo couscous for $3 each. Oh, and five 1kg San Remo fettucine nests for $1.40 each. Need to buy some large airtight tubs. They were in a separate aisle with some other random odds and ends. Only two bags of penne left which are probably sold.
Oh, long expiry on everything ~2021.
Any other stories you'd like to share while you're at it?
You seem bewildered.
Available and bought at Townsville North Ward QLD
that only coles local that has any of this stuff left.
Almost worth getting just to squeeze the very satisfing bottle.
I use them to fill triple tip squeeze bottles, the ones sold in Daiso that look like this. Lets you squeeze out perfectly thin, uniform and parallel streams for sandwiches, okonomiyaki, etc.
Triple tip squeeze….. What a magical time to be alive!
Save only $1.50? Probably will go off just before finishing half of its contents.
“Supersized” range kind of in response to Costco https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/coles-takes-the-supermarke…
Have tried it once however Aldi Mayonnaise is the best.
I haven't tried Aldi's but I do love this Kewpie mayo on a home made burger.
Jar or squeeze one?
squeeze, normal size 300ml one.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
I enjoy Aldi's version of almost everything, but Colway mayo is the only thing I can't stomach. Compared to Kewpie or Praise, it tastes too 'thin,' like its egg proportion is off.
Did you try the premium one? (8.8% yolk). This one is similar to kewpie, but cheaper
I love this one
Which brand is the Aldi one? I am keen to try..
$1.50 off, hardly a bargain…
It's pretty good compared to all the bargains you submit, oh wait..
How many have you posted?
Off to the sin bin for that blasphemy❌
I’m guessing it’s a promotional deal
Was initially for Mother's Day, internally it's known as "flex" stock.
‘Winter Warmers’ actually. The Mother’s Day Flex was the one before it. The Winter Warmers Flex had all of the large, ‘upsized’, 1kg+ products. It’s transitioned into the Entertainment Flex now with all those DVD boxes.
Oh yeah, forgot about that, lol.
Full of MSG if that concerns anyone.
Why should it?
Some people are allergic to it,
Some people believe they are allergic to MSG…
But it's just a myth.
Research hasn’t shown MSG to trigger allergy symptoms in large studies
allergic to it.
There is no such thing as an MSG allergy
@jv: Do any of these foods trigger their asthma?
roquefort cheese
parmesan cheese
soy sauce
walnuts
fresh tomato juice
grape juice
peas
mushrooms
broccoli
tomatoes
mushrooms
oysters
corn
potatoes
chicken
mackerel
beef
eggs
human milk
@jv: By definition , that's not an allergic response to MSG. Sensitivity to foods is not an allergy. If you've been rushed to hospital near death with anaphylaxis from an allergy as I have - you're know the difference.
True allergies, like pollen or pet allergies, are IgE-mediated (an antibody in your immune system - shown in elevated allergen-specific IgE antibody test). A sensitivity to MSG is not. It can seem like an allergy because symptoms arise after exposure to the offending ingredient. But without IgE involvement the reaction can’t be called a true allergy. https://www.everydayhealth.com/allergy/does-msg-allergy-real…
MSG has been shown in repeated studies not to cause allergic responses.
Asthma is complex. It can be life threatening. Many things can trigger asthma.
There's been plenty of quality research into this area.
That is, it's onset can be psychosomatic. Once having onset of asthma after consuming a food believed to contain MSG etc, the person may stress when again being in that situation, resulting in another onset. So the person avoids that substance & they don't have the onset - so believe that "proves" they are "allergic" to the substance… (I've heard that so many times with various illnesses!)
Unfortunate for the person😢
There's MSG naturally in so many lovely foods!
Better to learn about your asthma, seek professional advice & support, ways of coping with stresses & beliefs that may trigger an attack using techniques like CBT, etc.
I think know I'm "allergic" to hard work (terrible symptoms of heavy sweating, aching muscles, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc) & feel much better avoiding it - case proven. I'll never work hard again😀
Dr jv
Not a 'medical' doctor, but it it's just common sense that if something triggers an allergic reaction, then you are allergic to it and best to avoid it.
@jv: As in other differences we've had - your "common sense" interpretation is the issue here. Better to spend a while understanding what allergies actually are.
"Common sense" is often wrong in scientific areas & in political areas, has led to terrible atrocities.
You need to understand what an allergic response is (with elevated allergen-specific IgE antibodies), not just a food sensitivity or response to psychosomatic cause.
Those tetms are incorrectly used interchangeably in the general population.
As I commented above, it is better to understand your health issues, seek advice, rather than avoid the stimulus just because you BELIEVE there is an issue.
Incorrect thoughts cause so many problems & are very hard to undo, usually because they make "common sense" to the person with the thoughts.
Link between MSG & allergies was debunked years ago. Read the weird history of how the myth developed! But it's still popular among those who want to believe it, & deny the research findings…
your "common sense" interpretation is the issue here
Well, we'll have to disagree then…
Pretty sure that all the people who have reactions to MSG can make their own mind up as to whether they want to consume it or not.
@jv: The research has been done. You view has been disproven - long ago. One day you'll catch up…
people… can make their own mind up as to whether they want to consume it or not.
But that's the problem - they BELIEVE their own story, because it makes (common) sense to them. They usually don't want to give up their belief & deal with the real problem(s). It is protective for them as it seems to work for them. (We all do this to some extent, even healthy people.)
When the thinking is examined objectively it generally is not correct. That's where CBT & other techniques can help challenge incorrect or harmful thinking.
We are strange story telling creatures who want to believe very strange thoughts!
Keeping on believing something that is not true, & possibly detrimental to the person's health is a serious matter! At best it limits people's choices & options - which form a basis for a healthy, fulfilling life.
As shown in the study I linked above about a psychosomatic link with the onset of asthma, thinking can result in severe medical symptoms.
As you choose only to believe the limiting thoughts you believe… No use wasting my time or discussing my experience in this interesting field.
Hidden your comments, Bye.
I'm looking forward to Okonomiyaki with some tasty Kewpie Mayo on top!
@jv: It doesn't, more likely that they have conditioned a response based on the myth.
https://www.allergy.org.au/patients/about-allergy/common-myt…
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10452749
They don't read myths, so there goes that theory…
Well that's awesome, now if they stop believing cockamamie bollocks, they'd be golden. :D
That's why it tastes so good.
I want the smaller bottle. I can never finish it before expiry date. I have too many other sauces I use.
Then clearly you are not using it right.
:(
I confess, I've been using a bottle over a year past BB, still kickin.
Available at kununurra of all places so guessing nationwide
Never heard of this brand, is it any good compared to other brands available?
Yes
This is definitely worth a try!
Kewpie Mayonnaise (pronounced "Q P") isn't traditional mayonnaise. It's a totally different product.
What's so good about Kewpie mayonnaise?
It’s delicious
For me has an alternative taste to normal mayo.
Can't describe it but it is like tangier and smoother.
Less of a strong hit than normal mayo I can put more and not be overwhelmed but still taste nice.
The squeeze bottle is the main attraction. Mayo itself isn't bad, but I prefer Best Foods mayo.
Kewpie mayonnaise + Sriracha chilli sauce = da bomb
You tried the new Sriracho mayo? damn it's fine
I have not. Must give it a try some time. Here I am mixing my own like a sucker!
Shoutout to Tbar Knifepoint - hi neighbour
I love my Thomy mayo, how did this compare?
thomy is great mayo, also has good egg content.
I just did a taste test with Thomy vs Kewpie, and I still prefer Thomy, it has a stronger, more eggy taste. Kewpie is OK but a bit milder/plainer. So if you like stronger flavors, give Thomy a go.
Mmm you are making me hungry for okonomiyaki now
I'm always hungry for okonomiyaki🍴
Heavy breathing….
