"Woolworths has announced a half price lobster sale in the lead-up to Christmas.

The retail giant will sell Western Australian rock lobsters for just $20 each, 50% less than they were this time last year.

The luxury seafood buy is a favourite across Australia, however high prices have meant it’s often too expensive to include in festive spreads."

Mod. From article: Woolworths’ new 1/2 price lobster offer will be rolled out from Saturday, December 12. Whilst the price is showing online currently, no stores appear to show stock. OP please do not remove the start date from the deal unless alternate information is presented.

      Harris Farm are currently advertising them at $23.99 ea, charged by weight ($63/kg or so).

      Seems the average size there may be 350g. Woollies may be the same, bigger, or smaller.

You can have cooked lobster and snowcrab in the Chinese Restaurants in the South East for about half the price of the CBD too at the moment. CBD is such a ripoff these days. Last weekend it was just under $50. Maybe $45? The tanks were overflowing with them at all the stalls. All the same price too. So many it wouldn't be possible to ozbargain the supply lol

        • Archi on 11/12/2020 - 13:56

            @Archi: The export produce is diverted to the domestic market which is largely frozen. Has to be as the market is smaller, smaller like the fish we usually get with the big ones for export. There is a whole area of economics on why it works like that.

            Same with live Coral Trout. We get it frozen.

        best quality exported because they make more money.
        lower quality in australia because no-one wants to pay the high price. thats why we import the same food that we also export

        • entropysbane on 20/12/2020 - 19:25

          You would think it the other way because of transport costs, but that is a big reason the best stuff is sent long distance. You get to bear the cost of the freight better. More so with live critters.

        Australia's current comfortable lifestyle is largely due to exporting our primary products and importing cheap manufactured ones back from places with far less natural resources and very low-paid workforces. Mostly China, of which trading with is increasingly in jeopardy. So, good news for the chrissy spread hey!

        Short term thinking at its best. Lobster farming is not going to unviable with 40% of its exports vanishing, this is likely to temporary due to oversupply. Once we’re back at equilibrium prices will return to what they once were.

The days of the British Empire are long gone. If you're a Labor voter, then you're supposed to agree with tariffs and trade quotas, but you're also supposed to care about all the blue collar jobs that come from how much we export our primary resources. If you're a consumer, your house is full of Chinese-made goods, not all of them cheap either.
