Product Details
Long, thin, green, crisp pod with small round smooth seeds inside.
Grown in Australia.
So, I read coffee beans too. lol
Showing $11.90/kg for me..
beans are now at end/peak of the season and cheap, I picked up half a kilo at IGA for just over 2 bucks,
Ahh poop. Just ordered 4 kg at $5/kg
Shouldn't have bean so hasty
They've been $2 at my local woolies since Monday. Very fresh and crunchy.
I'm not sure why they've suddenly plummeted in price. Obviously excess supply, but why?
People panic buying non perishables perhaps?
Add some cinamon sugar, and you're set.
Gone! Ozbargained
C&C anyone?
$9.90 a kg here.
11.90 is crazy, always hate having to fork out this much for beans. Good to know there’s some decent margins being made normally 🙄
All vegetable prices are crazy at the moment, in fact for over 6 months. Broccoli 🥦 regularly over $10, capsicums almost $10.
Thank God for carrots 🥕.
We don't deserve carrots
Now im curious about your vegetable heirachy.
What do we deserve?
Woolworths fruit and vegetable prices are sky high all year round. I am a big user of coriander and I buy it for 89c a bunch from local asian store. It is fresher and lasts longer than the $3.50+ stuff that Colesworths sell. Same with lettuce, you can usually find an Iceberg lettuce for between $1-$2 whereas the supermarkets will have it at $3-$5 each. Much better value to be had by shopping at smaller stores. Harris Farm is another good place to shop, most stuff is very expensive but you can find a bargain in the imperfect picks and weekly specials. For example in January they were selling a 15x punnet tray of strawberries for $4.99. Fresh and beautiful, I froze most and only just finished them off last week.
Aldi has living potted herbs for $3 which is a better option than woolies /Coles.
But yes, for corriander, basil, lemon grass etc…. Asian grocers are 50 to 80% cheaper.
Was 4.90$/Kg at Coles Five Dock on Monday.
I think all the people who stockpiled food are now overflowing and can't buy more. Thus stores have surplus perishable food now. Saw mince beef going for $4/kg regular mince and $8/kg premium mince at Coles. They had a fair amount but would not last long as it was being snapped up.
Seems like hoarders made this product out of stock too. :)
I wish I were born 50 years in the future sitting in history class learning about how the great pandemic of 2020 causing a shortage of toilet paper, alcohol, beans and Nintendo Switches
As opposed to beans squared?
jokes aside, is that what these are actually called?
They don't look very round…
Shows 3.90/kg for me but that's still better than 11.90/kg
Better than the $6.90 it shows for me.
I wouldn’t touch these , I watched a Chinese lady touch almost every bean available searching for that perfect bean -to put on her basket
with a bare hand - I videoed it. She saw me video it and carried on - with a smile.
Made me sick thinking about how much virus she could potentially be leaving on these beans
Multiply that by every other inconsiderate person touching them needlessly.
I showed the video to the manager in neutral bay, he didn’t give a sh*t
I suggested providing gloves - he said woolworths is against plastic waste!
I pointed out the weight of a plastic gloves glove is like a feather compared to the plastic junk inside someone’s typical basket of goods - the logic was lost on him completely
The greenies at woolies would rather make people sick
(I get you should wash your beans - it’s the contamination and very visible handling of fresh produce that makes me reflex)
You videoed someone you were the crazy person no wonder he was like wtf…
You need to put a plastic bag over your head
holly Sh!t, how do you know she is Chinese? Can you tell different Asians? Your prejudice damaged your brain which virus won't. Plastic gloves? where is your green earth slogan?
good
Thought it was coffee beans when I received the alert ha ha ha…
