Work accidentally ordered in 30 crates instead of 30 cartons. So is selling it cheap to clear it. Expiry date for the milk is March 7. Deal ends February 28. I would upload a photo but ICS has made my phone camera unstable.

Great deal from woolworths don't tell IGA or they'll have a hissy fit.
This was in addition to the usual milk load. Local army base had ordered in the extra 30 cartons for themselves.
Cheers for the update…fair enough then
nice!
there is like 16 bottles to a crate right? thats alot of milk
Yeah, that's right. 540 cartons of milk. The shelf only fits 50.
So I'm assumming you have space at the back to keep other 490 cartons of milk refrigerated? That's a lot of milk…
It's half a pallet. Which isn't too much space in the scheme of things. But if the milk sells quickly it will make work slightly easier.
Damn…. any deals on Oreos lol?
Hey Mskram,
I've tried applying for a job (night fill) at your store, no response :( Any other tips on how to get spotted?
Thanks!
Try for another position and transfer after a while if you can. I wanted to get a nightfill position for a while, but got invited to an interview for Deli. Have worked there over 6 months and haven't regretted it one bit.
Thanks! Will try that.
I would suggest handing in your resume and availability into the store. Everyone is going back to uni now so their availability is shrinking and therefore people will be needed to be hired to fill the gaps. So if a position comes up and you fit the availability they may call you before the position is advertised for. That's my two cents.
Good luck with the job hunt.
what is the normal price for this milk?
~1.20 iirc.
is it a long life milk?
Expiry date for the milk is March 7
( it's in the deal )
joannatan, the fact that the milk expires in under two weeks means it isn't long life.
i just want make sure this is not a uht milk that expired within 2 weeks.
This is "fresh milk", or as fresh as you can get in an urban environment.
Long life milk is usually known as UHT (Ultra Heat Treated) milk.
However, there are notable exceptions like organically produced milk that uses high temperataure pastuerisation, much like UHT, and they last a lot longer (2 months?).
Not just in an urban environment, but legally. As far as I know it's illegal to sell unpasteurised foods.
Oh, I wasn't referring to the idea of buying and selling.
I'd be surprised to see fresh straight of the bovine's teats milk anywhere near a CBD :) Then again, I don't travel a lot.
$1.25
very cheap.. this is probably their cost price.. normal price probs 1.20-1.50

I don't drink milk anymore as it causes strokes and heart attacks….
WTF??? http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pag…
Are you sure you're not thinking of the cigarette chaser some folks might have with it? Or the fatty cream cakes they might wash down with the milk??
Ur joking, milk is without doubt good for people, u should fear a lot of other food before milk
Fairly sure milk has been consumed since ancient times and there wasn't an increase in strokes or heart attacks then.
And I'm pretty sure the trend has gone downward for milk consumption in the past thirty years, in contrast to levels of heart disease bla bla.
The consumption drop seems to be especially true for children and young adults. A glass of plain milk with every meal, and for a snack, was a normal thing not so long ago. This seems to have been replaced with juice and soft drink, and the habit carries on into adulthood.In short, milk ain't your problem.
For those looking to stock up, IME normal pasteurised/homogenised whole milk freezes extremely well…only the high fat/extra cream "gold" blends tend to separate when frozen. :)
you've frozen pasteurised/homogenised milk before?
Yep, it was common practice many years ago when fresh dairy products weren't so readily available. Once it thaws in the fridge for a couple of days it's good to go! :)
You can actually freeze non-homogenised as well, I do this when I travel to a rural community that has good local dairy produce. You just have to make sure it's not an extra creamy one coz it will freeze with the fat on the outside & look yellow when frozen…it thaws fine to consume but the fat won't emulsify again unless you heat it…fine for hot cocoa though! ;)
amazing what you can learn from the incisive questioning ;) and fulsome answers on Ozbargain :)
Oh ya my dad used to freeze full cream milk all the time. We always have 2 2L bottles in the freezer. Let it thaw in the sink for a day and you're good to go!
I'm going to be honest, I've never actually thought about freezing milk.
Yeah it works really well, i used to have to do it when i was living on a property an hour from town. Would go in and buy 30 bottles at a time, along with heaps of bread etc, they all freeze pretty well.
A true Ozbargainer would put their frozen milk into the fridge to thaw, not just put it in the sink and waste that free cooling.
Actually, a true Ozbargainer would use the frozen milk to keep his discount beer cold in the esky instead of ice.. I mean really, $3 a bag!?
Milk freezes just fine. Cartons freeze much better than bottles because there is more air in the top to allow for slight expansion. Bottles in the freezer will usually pop their tops.
Ive never had a bottle blow its cap (well not of milk anyways) the plastic just expanded out slightly. And ive frozen a hell of alot of milk.
The PET milk bottles are extremely flexible and can expand quite a lot.
Haha AutoStockR screw up?
As far as I can tell human error. For the army order someone accidentally ordered 30 crates instead of 30 cartons. Understandable error.
It would be the same as 30/24pk coke I'd imagine, with 1 unit being by the pallet.
An old store I was at almost had 2.5 trucks worth of coke rock up, luckily it was priced up by Sydney distribution before shipping otherwise there would have been a carpark sale on coke.
Oh wow. Keep us posted if you've got them sold in time :)
We now know their cost price.
Not necessarily true. It's 40% off. Which is the standard first step when we reduce stuff to when it's about to go out of date. We even do it with homebrand eggs if they get close. And we make something like a 1 cent profit per box of eggs. So if you buy a carton of eggs by themselves its a 1 cent loss
I find it hard to believe they only make 1c profit, when many local deli's and fruit shops can sell eggs for cheaper. Woolies/Coles always win against farmers..
Well that's what the RF gun tells me when I check. It could be that Woolworths owns the chicken run and technically makes its money there. I'm not positive.
there's probably also volume kickbacks which is not factored into the "cost" price.
It's worth remembering that there is 'cost' price, & there's the actual cost price.
One is what is actually paid to the distributor/wholesaler for the product, the other has allowances for logistics etc built in.
It could be that Woolworths owns the chicken run…
But I don't want to be a pie…I don't like gravy! :p
milk bath time?
OzBargainers will be milking this offer for all its worth
I'm udderly surprised it took this long for a pun to appear.
"whoops"
Nice one. Grabbed 14 this morning
Thank you. You're making my job just that little bit easier.
Are you the manager there or something? Haha
No, just one of the very few perishable workers. Guess I just take my job seriously. If the milk sells I have more room to put other things
You are a perishable worker? Perish the thought! :-)
This is the Woolworths brand, not homebrand so save 50 cents. Which is 40% off. Don't see why that is reason to neg the deal.
I bought couple today as well. The milk was hard to find as it was on the top left fridge when I thought they are on the bottom. Thanks.
I agree. But as the rep button says to tick it if you are an employee or shareholder to press it. I'm both. Just following what the system tells me.

So were the Nazis. Just saying.
I completely forgot about that!
Got Milk??
really ? god 30 cartons would only last a day surely…whenever i am near the milk section at woolies the doors are hardly ever closed for long…
