Just purchased a box/tray of 18 punnets of strawberries for $6.99 at Harris Farm Broadway - outside the front of the store, heaps of stock. Receipt in pic as proof. At $0.39 per punnet, seems like a deal to me.

There's sufficient stock that I assume there's a very good chance it will be at other stores too, but please let us know in the comments if you see this deal at your local store. Edit: Confirmed in comments also at Pennant Hills store too, but not in the one QLD store, so changed description to "selected stores", and it seems likely to be at most NSW stores.

End date is unknown, but Harris Farm seem to rotate most specials on Thursday mornings, so I will put end of Wednesday 24th Feb as my best guess as to the likely end date.

P.s. They also have the cooked WA rock lobsters for $19.99 a pop back in stock.

    It's blue skies outside, today's the day we start vaccinating our quarantine workers, and I'm enjoying a delicious bargain-priced ice-cold strawberry smoothie, whilst JV tries to yank my chain…. Best. Monday. Ever! 😃

      Cool you did you hear all the cheering at the AO when they mentioned the program :)
      I'm wonder why the PM took the AstraZeneca instead of the proven better Pfizer one . Not much thinking really required because most Aussies will have no choice but that one with him leading the way .

        That's because the crowd wanted to hear Tennis, not politics in the speeches.

        They made the same political speech the night before and it went way too long…

        I reckon the state government made them say it in the speech for more self promotion…

          @jv: That background to the long speeches at the tennis makes sense.

          But I also think the booing, plus the separate anti-vaxxer protests that happened on the weekend, are a sign of several other things too:

          • that Australia has done really well at keeping COVID under control so far, and at limiting the number of deaths. I have a good friend from school who's worked a lot in Africa with NGOs and for-profits, in some really poor areas in what we would call "failed states", and he said in areas he worked the people he met had zero doubt about vaccines. But he's certainly met Australians that are anti-vaxers, usually from really wealthy suburbs. It's all about distance from the problem - if you've never met anyone that has had a particular disease, nobody you know has it, disease in general is not something you see, and you heard once that vaccines might cause autism (since disproven), you see some people on Facebook who have doubts, you join their group, it becomes an echo chamber, and soon you're convinced it's all a conspiracy - it's so much harder for that to happen when the disease is visibly in your life, and threatening you and the people you love. Equally (as far as I can tell) in the US and UK the average person seems keener to vaccinate against COVID, because they've had to really live with it and the impact of it on them and the people around them.

          • We need to teach science better. That people can freak out with conspiracy theories over 5G, over vaccines, can think crystals are going to heal them, the fact that anyone listens to Pete Evans on topics other than cooking, that a nutter like Craig Kelly can get elected, that climate change denial is even possible (let alone mainstream) in the face of overwhelming evidence - these are all signs that we need to do so much better at teaching science and rational thinking.

          As to the choice of vaccines:

          • For the people who don't doubt the science, it doesn't help that most people will get the AstraZeneca one, when there's a better Pfizer vaccine also available and locally approved. It looks very much like the government was too cheap to buy enough Pfizer doses for everyone (they bought enough doses for 40% of the population instead of 100%), especially as the US just bought another 100 million Pfizer doses (so there clearly there was availability). That's reinforced by the PM (who is not a quarantine worker, aged care resident, health worker, etc) getting the better one - if AstraZeneca is good enough for the rest of us, it ought to be good enough for him, his family, and the whole of the Liberal party too.

  Thanks for the heads up.

  Better price for watermelons at Coles $1/kg. :)

    jv on 22/02/2021 - 12:38

    The quality of the watermelons at my local Coles yesterday was worse than crap…

    Wouldn't eat it if they paid me $1/kg…

      Harris Farm watermelons are fine, just got to eat them within a few days so they stay a bit crunchy (hence why I buy the cut ones, and thus eat a quarter of a watermelon at a time).

          @qweenDalilahHur: Usually I slice a very thin layer off of the surface area of a pre-cut watermelon. Sometimes I couldn't be bothered though

  Usually it is all stores

    nickj on 22/02/2021 - 12:53

    I reckon it probably is, but I have no way of verifying that. Originally had the deal title ending with "(Broadway, and quite possibly more stores)" and the mods edited it to just "(Broadway)". So if anyone can confirm it at other stores, then I will edit it to say "(selected stores)" or "(most stores)", or something of that nature.

  Found this at pennant hills. Probably all stores there’s tonnes of them but the trays are too big for people to think and consider buying. Haha. Don’t know what possessed me to ride my motorbike to buy them though. 13 fit comfortably inside a US-20 if anyone’s wondering

    nickj on 22/02/2021 - 15:11

    Thanks! Have updated headline to "selected stores", but seems probable it's going to be most or all stores.
    For the trays being too big, I just split half the box with a nearby relative - if you split a tray 2 or 3 ways then 9 or 6 boxes is quite feasible, especially for a family with kids.
