25 Bessemer St, Blacktown NSW 2148

Inflation? What inflation? This is the cheapest I've ever bought a watermelon. I thought it was $1.99 a kg at first but checkout operator confirmed it is $1.99 each. So I picked the largest I could find and it weighed 12kg. I later saw a 5kg watermelon at Costco Marsden Park selling for $16 each.

Had it after dinner and was sweet, seedless, juicy and refreshing.

    Can these be used to substitute lettuce?

      Maybe if you finely slice the rind.

    It's probably sold out or changed in price since you bought it…

  • squaredonut on 17/06/2022 - 21:27

    That's super cheap, but too far for me. I would have bought a few of them. The weight and space that would have taken on a truck, how do you even recoup the time, effort and petrol.

    • tharlow on 18/06/2022 - 00:24

      They do roll pretty well, so you can dribble them home

    Crazy times when you can buy one single lettuce head or 3 watermelons.

    • ATangk on 17/06/2022 - 23:39

      you mean half a lettuce head

    It's $1.99 per kilo not per watermelon. Verified at checkout. I was there half hour ago.

    • sharkfan12 on 18/06/2022 - 07:07

      The sign says EACH, so they would have to honour it

      • laser on 18/06/2022 - 07:17

          Sounds like they fixed their mistake on the sign.

      • samuelalexmclean on 18/06/2022 - 08:02

        You don't have to honour marked prices (the shelf signage is called an invitation to treat, but the actual contract happens at the checkout and is initiated by the price the cashier tells you). Interestingly, if they give you too much change or undercharge you, and you notice but do nothing, that's technically theft.

        Advertising a price and then reneging on it breaks a few advertising / consumer protection rules and can even be illegal, but that doesn't make the original price enforceable. When retailers like Woolies honour a misprice at the register that's store policy - not a law / something they "have" to do.

        • ZilogX on 18/06/2022 - 09:47

          No, that's incorrect. A consumer relies in good faith solely on information provided by the merchant on the shelf to make their purchasing decision. "Invitation to treat" is technically the same as a tender to contract. If the merchant realises their "mistake", they are liable to supply at the price, then correct the mistake &/or withdraw the offer at once. A disagreement between the cash register and the sign is a in-house technical problem which has nothing to do with the consumer at all…

          If the merchant is proven to be intentionally baiting & switching (which happens more often than you would believe) then they are open to prosecution from the ACCC.

          • Slo20 on 18/06/2022 - 10:19

            @ZilogX: “If a retailer incorrectly prices one isolated product, it is likely an error. In these cases, a retailer can follow their individual store policy to address the mistake. This means that a store may or may not honour incorrectly priced items depending on their policy, and will not have to sell the product at the wrong price. Store policies are usually displayed at the cash register, or contained in terms and conditions (for online businesses).”

            How many times have you seen price error deals pop up on ozbargain that don’t get honoured. There is no obligation to honour it as long as they resolve the issue once they’ve been made aware of it.

            • ZilogX on 18/06/2022 - 10:45

              @Slo20: Yes you are correct, this is the mainline poppycock legalese nit-picking argument that merchants try to hide behind. But the main thrust of my point is their "Error" is More Often Than Not NOT unintentional - that is, a marketing ploy to lure people to either their website, shopfront or wherever. Thereby it becomes a bait & switch device. If the consumer has the time and wherewithall, they may take the matter up with the ACCC, and the merchant (especially if they are repeat offenders such as several online examples) will be prosecuted.

              NB. This is why you see many, many merchant "errors" that are not taken down immediately or at all…

              • Daabido on 18/06/2022 - 12:33

                @ZilogX: The ACCC isn't going to spend $10k a day in court prosecuting a watermelon seller.

              • samuelalexmclean on 18/06/2022 - 13:57

                @ZilogX: Are you seriously suggesting that an independent Blacktown greengrocer intentionally made an error on their in store signage as part of a sneaky marketing campaign in an elaborate bait and switch?

                I'm sorry but me and my years working in retail (and later, law degree) strongly disagree with the claim that a store "has to" honor a pricing error. And I disagree with your claim these are intentional more often than they're mistaken.

                • ZilogX on 18/06/2022 - 17:51

                  @samuelalexmclean: I've already agreed to your law point LOLz. Lots of people have law degrees by the way, there was a train driver on TV the other day with one! I've got a couple of degrees as well but I would never give that time for free on Ozbargain..LMAO

        • ATangk on 18/06/2022 - 14:23

          That said it is Colesworth policy to give you the item for free for pricing errors.

          • samuelalexmclean on 18/06/2022 - 15:03

            @ATangk: That's good of them, and I believe is the (voluntary) policy for most grocery retailers.
