Aldi is always there to spoil the party.
4 percent less at Coles with gift card
.
Yea but I pay cash to avoid CC fees and 99c rounds to $1 anyway.
Dare I say if you use CC add on the fee it’ll be $1 also??
Buy 3 bags with cash for extra 2cents discount.
if you're buying 3 kgs you may as well go to fruit shops where the 3kg bags are discounted for bulkier purchase.
@cloudy: Thats not the point. Posts are concerns with rounding up when paying with cash, or get hit with CC surcharge. Haha
…whats up doc?
Woolies was $1 today, I noticed best beforr was in about a week..
They're carrots they'll be fine for weeks past that.
The greatest marketing ever 'best before'.
It was once a 'best for us' date…and they slowly changed it to a 'best before'. Clever marketers.
Depends. I wouldnt push too far with packed meat.
@[Deactivated]: yes true…but you can freeze things and people dont even consider that much these days
It has been $1 since last Wednesday at Coles in WA..
Recommended: you can make this Indian sweet https://hebbarskitchen.com/carrot-halwa-recipe-gajar-halwa-r… it’s yum. Let me know if you like it :)
This is delicious and not overly sweet like many other Indian sweets.
Belongs in forums
Spudshed typically sell carrots at 79c.
and then $2 for 5kg bag
Woolies already has them at a dollar a kilo, and Aldi (as usual), is already cheaper @0.99c
I find the shelf life of carrots at Woolworths is far better than those at Aldi - the Aldi carrots taste a bit too ripe within a fortnight, while Woolies last for a good month..
Not at my local Woolies.
Go to a real fruit and veg store and they'll never be more than $1 :p
I live in Victoria and there is no fruit and veg shop in 5km radius around my house.
Yeah fair enough
thats the shit thing about this lockdown. Wonder if you can contest travelling further than 5km to shop at a specific grocery place? If you are morally against big corporations you shouldnt be forced to shop there so I imagine you would be justified in being able to travel further than 5km? No different to going to a specific mechanic etc
…its a pandemic…you make sacrifices
@franco cozzo: If you do your shopping safely you are far less a risk than the brain dead idiots that go to big supermarkets!!
But sure…believe the tripe.
How many people use self checkouts and touch those self serve screens and don't disinfect when they leave!
Meanwhile, you can have zero contact at a small fruit and veg store that is most likely far less busy and has fresh air.
Must be hard not being able to think for yourself.
The law is for everyone to abide by. If everyone did that then there wouldn't even be this 5km restriction in the first place!
@1centless: The law is there to be followed yes. But if you can LEGALLY go to a market or organic store to get your groceries then you have a right to. Just because you are happy to accept crappy low quality groceries from companies that over charge and over package that's fine. But not everyone has to shop there…nor are they any greater a risk by not sticking to their "5km" zone.
If you do something safely you are not a risk! It's that simple. Local fruit and veg stores are usually right on the street with fresh air, dont require you to touch a stack of items others have touched, don't have to use self check out that stacks of other people have, and likely also have disinfectant right at the check out….unlike supermarkets that mostly only have it on the way in!
The government don't get to dictate the quality of the food you buy, nor that you have to pay twice as much for your food. Politicians that have the money to not worry about what their food is costing. Not everyone is capable of throwing money away at supermarkets champ!
@1centless: "For some people the nearest goods and services will be more than 5km away. In this situation you may travel beyond 5km to the nearest provider. If you are unable to leave home because it would mean leaving a young child or at-risk person at home unattended, then they may accompany you."
THE LAW!!
Stop being a bloody sheep! You CAN travel outside 5km if you need to get a good or service that isn't supplied within it.
So if you have no local fruit and veg stores then you LEGALLY are allowed to!
@Lv80: …congrats. you got all my daily allocation of negs
and you didnt have to travel more than 5kms either.@franco cozzo: Thank you. Though sadly it's a shame to see another person having no understanding of the rules and laws. You can legally leave your 'allocated' 5km limit. So I'm not sure what on earth you are 'negging' given if the government regulations, that you seem to want to fully support, say you can leave said area, then you can.
You don't like that people don't want to give money blindly and willingly to big supermarkets that sell low quality groceries at ludicrous costs? lol…If that's what you believe, I'd suggest you are someone that would highly benefit from shopping at places that have quality food.
@Lv80: I think you are missing the point. There are exceptions to every circumstance. I am not asking for examples of exceptions. Merely stating a fact. I don't understand why some people have to feel so entitled for everything. It's a disease that's ruining society.
P. S : If the place you shop is the biggest problem in your life right now, then I think you should be thankful. Not be whining about it :).
@1centless: Everything is an exception. I've been out of work since March because of this so you don't get to tell me what my problems are. You don't get to tell me that I have to accept crap food just so you feel good about where you shop that I should be happy to spend money I don't have shopping at places I never could afford to shop at.
You don't get to tell me what I can and can't do. And if the government has allowed provisions for me to buy something where I want to buy it from then I damn well will.There are so many exceptions that are actually causing the spread of this virus that you are choosing to attack people that want to safely buy the quality and value of food from where they must?
How dare people try and save money when they are out of work! How dare they prioritise keeping a roof over their head, without in any way compromising the health and safety of people in their community.
THERE IS MORE RISK going and shopping and a supermarket than the local fruit and veg store.
You can go and buy a coffee from your local cafe but someone can't go 7km to get their fruit and veg?
I'm sorry….you are trying to lecture me on what is and isn't appropriate?
@Lv80: I am sorry to hear about your work situation though. Unfortunately that's what most of us are going through! I do hope u find something soon. But don't be so sour about everything. It wont help anyone.
@1centless: Not sour 1c. A realist. Going 2km more to get good quality cheaper food puts no-one at risk. Meanwhile supporting a big corp that is pumping out expensive crap food has long term effects. People can still be 100% safe and shop sustainably, affordably and appropriately.
I don't need government to dictate what they feel is essential for my body. Nor have they.
I disagree on most being in this situation. It's been very industry specific. A lot of people that are happy to go along with stage 4 are either working from home or will have jobs waiting for them once it's done.
The government has already stripped perfectly safe activities off the table, while allowing ones that are known to spread this. Again, what food I can afford to buy and the quality of it is not the right of the government to dictate.
Perhaps if they closed down fast food places and allowed people to buy at fruti and veg, we might have people with better immune systems that are less likely to contract the virus, and a much healthier soceity in the long run.
@Lv80: I agree it's not ideal. But do you really think we'd be better off if we let everyone use their better judgement and not have any rules? Have you not been living on the same planet?
It sucks. But you gotta accept whats going on now. And try to do your little part to make sure it goes away soon so you can return to your ideals. Don't you think?
@Lv80: Sorry, but no, you absolutely cannot leave your 5km zone to shop at a preferred store. No, this isn't speculation, you quoted the law yourself and every single person in my town knows this, because it's been confirmed by the Victorian Government and actively enforced by the police.
Why do we know? Because I live in a semi-rural town, geographically the last suburb in Stage 4 (and Stage 3 prior to that). We have an IGA, but no major supermarket within 5kms. We've very few options for take-away etc. Despite being in Stage 4, we're actually located on the far side of a checkpoint (leaving Melbourne). Police at the checkpoint are specifically checking addresses and if they see our suburb, are enforcing that we are not permitted to travel to Coles or Woolworths (as they're beyond 5km).
We of course can still try get deliveries from the big supermarkets. However, if something isn't available then we must purchase it (at the in all likelihood higher price) from our local IGA
Not ideal, but it is what it is.
Do us all a favour, stay in your 5km region.
@Benjamin Dobell: A friend of my friend developed an app for Android called myradius. I use it to keep track of my 5 km radius.
@RSmith: No wonder VIC is where it is right now. Ffs, 5km radius, clear as day, and still "reasoning" over it. Always a few that ruins it for others.
The State is not seeking for an opinion, it is an instruction.
@[Deactivated]: Yeah. I have been following the instructions, but there are always a few who want to
pushcross the boundaries.
any recommendations in Sydney area?
They will be when factoring in fuel though………..
Ordinarily yes, I go to one near my work (when I wasn't working from home). Has fantastic prices all the time. $1kg or less for carrots, 5kg potates always around $3. Woolies/Coles veggie prices are usually absolutely ridiculous.
True. We rarely buy F&V from Coleworth given their usual overpriced produce
Spudshed Western Australia, carrots 5Kg, $2.
Carrot cake??
I’m glad this deal was posted, I’ve been waiting for months for this special to come up. Now i can buy 10 bags to get me through to the next carrot sale.
For some, a sale is being less ripped off than normal, it seems.
I bought a KG in woolies for $1 yesterday 👍🏻
Carrots, cucumbers and bananas are good for when you’re bored during lockdown..
I'm more of an eggplant kinda person.
🍆
Grate them up and put them in a sandwich or pasta sauce.
Really nice just add tomato or tomato pasata and lettuce it is actually pretty tasty and cheap.
Gees a sudden price rise in carrots this week ?
We always get these at $1 a bag or $0.67 a kg at Coles, now they are $2.33 a kg!https://shop.coles.com.au/a/banksia-grove/product/fresh-im-p…
Lucky we bought some last week.
Dice then coat with pindone to stop the springtime rabbit invasion.
Do farmers get lower margins as a result of these sales? I feel absolutely terrible for them buying at this price
Worse still, hearing that Aldi and spudshed are doing them even cheaper…
If there’s too many carrots then they gotta go on sale. If there was a carrot shortage they would cost more.
How the hell do farmers make money on $1 / kg carrots
I just think of the inputs to production, water, labour cost, soil fertiliser, etc. That would easily be more than the price Coles sells it at.
They sure must be getting a crappy deal or some govt subsidy to keep them going?
Are there any farmers on OzBargain that can provide insight into this?
This seems to suggest that per kilo of carrots the break even price is 12 cents, assuming you can grow and sell 50 tonnes of it, in 2013 http://archive.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/47…
A lower yield of 31 tonnes has a break even price of 17 cents per kilo. I'm probably misunderstanding all of that and some accountant Reddit is about to give me the verbal thrashing of a lifetime.
I ‘saw’ this one coming
Orange you glad I didn’t say banana.
Any recommendations for a good juicer to make carrot juice?
time to buy a rabbit
If you’re in WA Spudshed ha then for 79c
Why so many upvotes when carrots are widely available at this price or cheaper??
Because carrot
We are all primed to look for bargains, it's like a witch hunt, we are ready to pounce and upvote any little thing that comes along. We're an unorganised rabble, a mob. It's not a great system for choosing and elevating bargains.
Dan Andrews can stick these carrots up his ass
I see $2 at my local Coles.
95 cents at my local Coles.
95 cents at Woolies
Aldi already selling at 99c
