Just got an e-mail from USA Foods - they're opening a new store (seemingly just a few stores down from the old one), and offering 20% off everything this weekend. Friday the 28th to Sunday the 30th of October. Worth going down if you're in Melb.

    Does anyone import Red Bull Cola into Australia? It's available in North American, almost all of Europe, heck even New Zealand gets it. What makes us so special to not be able to buy Red Bull Cola?

      • Cluster on 27/10/2011 - 20:13

        Red Bull Cola is available in the USA but not here. Seems like a good parallel importing opportunity.

      • Cluster on 27/10/2011 - 20:16

        Boo… Wikipedia claims: "Red Bull discontinued production of Red Bull Simply Cola in late July 2011 to focus on Red Bull energy drink."

        Oh well, no more Red Bull Cola.

        It is only banned in some regions of Germany and all of Taiwan. The rest of the world doesn't care about sub trace amounts of cocaine.

  • IgnitionS15 on 27/10/2011 - 21:20

    They still promote it on their F1 Cars Lol

    • chickentaste on 27/10/2011 - 21:34

      I guess it must be pitched at North American expats? I'm sure they do a fair amount of business for the same reason that the British imported food shop up here in FNQ does well: because occasionally, I just want some Marmite ;-)

    • SydStrand on 27/10/2011 - 21:47

      Because it appeals to certain tastes. Believe it or not, there are Aussie shops like this in America and the UK which stock stuff like Vegemite, which I'm sure locals think tastes like ass.

        Yeah it does taste like ass…I like ass.

  • grox on 27/10/2011 - 21:28

    Very cool, thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately it's a little far from me but if I do happen to be in the area I will definitely drop in for some Dr Pepper… yeah…

  • murkywater on 27/10/2011 - 21:34

    Saw this and got reminded of Staples. Anyone remember that? :p

    Bear in mind that they're pretty expensive to start with.

    • pikapika on 28/10/2011 - 07:48

      Yeah, they are. Last time I looked their prices online seemed higher than they are currently. Still, shipping from USA is starting to get pretty expensive as well :/

    • inFeZa on 28/10/2011 - 12:26

      Some items at USAFoods are cheaper than supermarkets - If you see its just the big items that are expensive. it does come from across 10km of Ocean. =.=

        what. 10km of ocean ? and i've been paying thousands to go on a plane to USA JUST to cover 10km of ocean ??!? ridiculous !!!

    I want Twinkies!!!

    • Pobman on 27/10/2011 - 22:33

      I had a box shipped over for Christmas last year :)

    • inFeZa on 28/10/2011 - 12:24

      Box of twinkies is $12 + The 20% off at USAFoods this weekend

    I want to try the original Cheerios.

  • sonicentropy on 28/10/2011 - 00:47

    American candy and sodas are with a lot of corn syrup, seriously not a fan, only things I get from USA foods. Bounce Dryer sheets, cinnamon toothpaste and bulls eye smokey BBQ sauce.

  • Tal_Shiar on 28/10/2011 - 02:34

    My only issue with USA foods is they never gave what I want when Im interested in buying something , like captn crunch!

    • inFeZa on 28/10/2011 - 12:25

      There's Cap'n Crunch in stock.

    • keyane on 29/10/2011 - 16:05

      yup saw it there as well

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 28/10/2011 - 06:41

    I stopped buying Hershey's kisses from USA foods when I found they were MUCH cheaper at Costco!

    Costco don't deliver though :(

    • hardik1us on 28/10/2011 - 09:10

      Do they have in costco?
      What's the price there?
      I just bought 2kg pack last week from USA foods for about $26.
      If cheap I will surely have a visit at costco.

      • YadaYadaYada on 28/10/2011 - 10:27

        I went a few weeks ago and picked up a bag of Hersheys Nuggets (not kisses) from Costco in Canberra. It was $15.99 for 52 ounces (1.47kg). You could pick up a similarly heavy bag of Reese's peanut butter cups for a pretty similar price.

      • YadaYadaYada on 07/11/2011 - 11:03

        If anyone is interested, there is a group buy deal for hershey's kisses today. I am not sure if it is any good though but you get 2 boxes of small bags of them for $20 + $10 shipping.

    No cheese in a can, that's almost neg'able!

    • inFeZa on 28/10/2011 - 12:25

      Australia is your issue with items like these. They think it will destroy the agriculture if you import it.

      • Cluster on 28/10/2011 - 12:36

        Have you checked your local supermarket? It has cheeses imported from France, The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, New Zealand, etc.

        Processed cheese in a can could definately be imported if anyone wanted to buy it.

        • MrZ on 31/10/2011 - 03:22

          You are allowed to import a small amount of those packaged/processed dairy products for personal use, however I do not think that USA Foods would be able to do so, because they would be dealing with commercial quantities which is not allowed.

    I don't know about you but to me "USA Foods" conjures up images that are , shall we say, less than flattering.

    • Tal_Shiar on 28/10/2011 - 14:34

      in moderation, you'll be fine

  • MrZ on 31/10/2011 - 03:23

    Who went down there? I went down on Saturday and it was ridiculously crowded. I didn't expect that kind of turn out at all. The checkout queues were at least 20-25 minutes long. It was a pretty warm muggy day and the store had no air conditioning (or at least it wasn't turned on), which made it uncomfortable to be in. I don't understand why a store would make all of it's customers so uncomfortable while standing in line. One of the guys that worked there even handed out free cold drinks.
