This box of noodle and rice essentials contains all the basics for a speedy, Asian inspired meal.
It includes SuperMi mi goreng instant noodles 30 x 80g, Emerald River Thai jasmine rice 5kg, Hart & Soul pho soup sachets 12pk, Sun Rice brown rice and quinoa cups 6 x 2 x 125g, Kikkoman soy sauce 2L, Ichiban roast beef bowls 6 x 200g, and Kirkland Signature roasted seaweed snacks 170g.
Sounds like a lot of rice and soy sauce…
It should cover you through to the end of wave 7. Around the time we need to restock on toilet paper.
which wave is the Mexican wave?
Can some one add up the prices.
Inchbon is about 16. Indomei is about 10. Seaweed is 10 ish as well. That leaves the two rice, soy sauce, and soup.
Don't think there is much of a saving there….
Essential carbs …
Based off Woolworths prices, rice is $2.80 ($16.80 for 6), Kikoman is $8 a litre so $16 and soup is $1.60 a pack so $19.20
Kikoman 2l is 10 bucks at my local Chinese grocery
Was just going off Woolworths prices. Definitely, if you sourced these elsewhere it would be much much cheaper.
Is it just me or do these seem like fairly unrelated items that don't really combine into anything useful?
Anti-hunger box?
Maybe for those that can’t (not suppose to…) leave their house for a while and don’t have the OzB mindset to hunt around.
Possibly there are buying limits and shortages as well. Personally. If I are a lot of riice, my preference would be for a number of 10kg bags.
shipped, means something
Mix it all together for a tasty meal
I will call it a bargain if its a bag of KOSHIHIKARI.
This bulk is really bad mixing Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Korean and a non Asian product: instant rice.
Yeah exactly, it's like some genius decided hey let's gather up a bunch of our cheap products which sound remotely Asian and bundle them up to flog to gullible customers…little did they know Asians are the best bargain hunters
2 litres of soy sauce per day.
if they could just sell those things individually it would be great. the individual delivery cost is bull crap.
Imo, Hart & Soul soup packets (laksa and pho) is very different to the taste i'm accustomed to in malaysian/viet places.
and there's the quinoa … i don't hate myself that much to eat it as an instant option.
They do sell them individually in store. I got a box of Mi goreng just the other day. Costco prices are the same as supermarket sale prices though, even for bulk buys.
When they bundle everything like this they turn a tidy profit on a few of the items which were never cheap.
Do they still have nuts in 1kg bag, pecan nuts etc?
Is this part of Costco's 'Artery Hardening' sale?
