    How is this a deal? The $60 essentials pack would cost half that to purchase yourself.

      I'd say the $60 pack is worth about $40 .. Not exactly a selfless community gesture here.

        IGA is never king of cheap. If they used all brand items then it could get close since delivery. Did the cost analysis for the coles pack and it ended up $60, but most of the cost of that was actually the canned soup and canned meat.

      It's for people who either can't or it would be in their best interests not to go outside.
      Things are always more expensive at IGA anyway, but at least it includes delivery.
      I added up with IGA's pricing (using B&G where possible except for things like toilet paper) to be around $45 leaving around $15 for delivery.

      Sure there's some profit here.

        there is a profit made already on the products, it is just filthy for them to insinuate that they are looking out for the community and the vulnerable. This is a clear attempt to offer another service to turn over more profit. Profits from the huge markup on delivery cost and profit on the products that they wouldn't have sold to certain people if they didn't offer delivery

          Yeah I agree, they are making a profit on their profit. This isn’t looking out for people, its taking advantage of them.
          However, its the only one that includes bread, milk and fresh fruit/veggies in their boxes.
          If my only option was these delivery boxes I’d probably rather spend $60 on IGA’s then $80 on Woolies hodgepodge box.
          Its not good value, but then again none of these delivery boxes are?

      I don't understand the neg votes on your comment, but there is maybe a small demographic that might not be able to go to the shops (or get a relative / friend to do that) who might like the service.
      But, it still seems expensive.

        I understand the sentiment in IGA doing so but for a grocer who is supposed to be 'for the people', there is no value at all here. Even at the estimate of $30-$40, there is a large markup.

  • voteoften on 08/04/2020 - 13:25

    Nice that they have pet packs.

    • GG57 on 08/04/2020 - 13:32

      Most pet owners will tell you they want/need to buy specific brands for their pets, not rely on someone choosing for them.

    • pennypincher98 on 08/04/2020 - 13:32

      What's in a dog pack? Uh.. wet and dry dog food
      They couldn't be more vague if they tried lol.
      Not even any mention of weights.

  • GG57 on 08/04/2020 - 13:28

    As with the other similar offers, these seem to be relatively vague as to the content brands etc., and are probably not great value for money.

  • rack on 08/04/2020 - 14:28

    I am not sure of these ration type packs. Why can't IGA have a price list online and let people buy products they want and get it delivered. Woolies and Coles were shoving their online shopping down our throats for convenience but now when we need this service the most it's been removed and only available to a select few albeit deserving folks. I just don't understand why they can't go fully online.

    • GG57 on 08/04/2020 - 14:37

      I think that IGA are franchised (or similar), and that probably doesn't support an online model.
      Why don't Woolies / Coles re-introduce their 'acclaimed' delivery service: probably because all of that stupid panic buying broke their stock management model.

    • INFIDEL on 08/04/2020 - 15:25

      Independent stores are members of IGA. Some are owned by subgroups. They set their own prices, offer their own loyalty schemes & operate in different areas.

      So setting up an online system with different prices between stores close to each other would be confusing.

      And an online system could result in the demise of the independent stores.
