You're allowed to have your own set of values and beliefs beyond being an OzBargainer, nothing to be ashamed of. I try to buy Aussie made as much as I can, as long as the budget and convenience allows. Each to their own ☺️
I have to agree with you especially since finding out that these cheap Italian canned tomatoes are often farmed by exploited and underpaid foreign workers to keep their costs down.
Environmentally, it also makes sense to buy Australian.
awesome. down to my last 38 cans. tine to stock up
I have to admit that I have an Annalisa shelf in my pantry, and it is chockers with borlotti beans, white beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, butter beans, and lentils. I buy them 50 at a time when sales like this come along, because they're my official "struggling renter" food. My best score in recent years was 60 tins for just over $40, when they were 67 cents per tin. Conservatively, I go through 25 tins a month. I put them on salad, eat them cold with vinegar and tabasco, add them to chili, add them to soup, etc.
Other things, I am very picky about country of origin and will buy Australian only (fruits, frozen prawns, beetroot, etc.). But these beans, sorry, they're how I can afford to be picky about everything else.
If you bought dry beans and pulses you'd save an absolute fortune.
And the environment.
True that there would be savings. But at 67 cents per tin, I don't see the savings as "an absolute fortune". Even assuming 70 cents per tin, 50 tins every 2 months gives 300 tins per annum, total cost of $210 max. At some point, convenience is worth $100 or so per annum.
I'd have to plan far in advance when I wanted to eat them, and I'd have to soak them, which in a place prone to multilegged non-human visitors is akin to hanging out a welcome mat.
@NWLikeShopping: Soak them in the fridge. Cook in bulk. Freeze them in small quantities. Win-win-win.
Finally they come down in price. A goddamn possum got into my nuclear shelter and ate all of my tins of tomatoes and beans.
Been meaning to restock, but at normal prices, no way.
Comes at a good time with all these assholes planning to storm area 51, was worried I'd have to pay full price.
That's one hell of a smart possum.
Either that or it has teeth of steel…
Buy Australian instead
It's worth reading this, from now on I'll only be buying aussie. - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7247249/Slave-labou…
the mafia is disgusting, this is what makes us Italians sick.. we need to weed them out.
thanks for the article, i usually buy Cirio!
Do you guys prefer diced or whole canned tomatoes?
And thanks for bringing up the slave labour issue. I don't really have an issue supporting other (notionally) democratic countries, but when it's not ethically sourced I'm thinking twice (i.e. gonna buy Aussie)
I know that it goes against the OzBargain spirit, but we only buy Australian tomatoes and pulses.
It's not as if we use them every day, and would like to see Australian farmers continue in business.
Flame away :-)
