This very popular and beautiful gravy is back on sale and a little more expensive than last time 11/22 (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/740324), inflation…..This lower price for the big 2kg container started yesterday as part of an Amazon Smiles 15 percent off promotion for selected Maggi products. Not a bad deal given this awesome gravy is hard to find in bulk package size.

Costco is currently selling this Maggi gravy cheaper (seen at North Lakes and Bundamba Queensland) for $11.99 for 1kg containers. That price is possibly nationally.

    Just a cruel tease given the oven fry shortage.

    • Lollll - even Costco at North Lakes yesterday were totally out of their popular Birds-eye chips and wedges! :)

      • Yeah whats the go. I was at my local woolies and no wedges to be found.

        • fresh potatoes were only $1.88kg with plenty of stock at my local Woolworths, the freezer aisle had no chips and says there is a potato shortage.

  • Knorr gravy is much better try it you'll never go back to this .

    • thanks for the tip, I will have to try it…..

    • Do you recommend the rich brown or oven roast gravy?

      • +1

        Rich brown is my fav .

        • +1

          Cheers, will give it a go.

      Unfortunately, Knorr is not dairy-free.

      This Maggi thing is great tho.

      Remember - if you're going to need months to go through this tub - to put some of it in a smaller handy jar and store the rest in the tub sealed, so it doesn't go stale too quick.

    This stuff is alright, good for shepherds pie.
    Their cheese sauce is the best - comes in same size tub

    • Ohhh I love cheese sauce. Where do you buy the big tub from? I see Amazon sells it for $70 :(

      • +1

        That's really about what it costs.. $65-70 is the norm, but keep in mind it makes about 12L of sauce… which is alot.
        It is very versatile and we use it in pasta, pasta bakes and even as a fish sauce

        • +1

          It sounds delicious. any chance you’ve compared it to the little tins of Gravox cheese sauce?

          • +1

            @jallen89: No but it’s the best one I’ve had - better then jar sauce like dolmio etc

  • Just bought the 1kg one for $11.99 at Costco be a use of FOMO

    What else do you guys use this on? realise we don't eat chips and roasts/steak that often at home

    • Everything but fish! Love it on any roast.

      • We don't cook roasts all that often lol, but I guess we do make mash more often. Any tips on how to jazz it up? I've read people mix it with chicken stock but I only have the powdered version and thought it might be too salty

    • I did say "possibly nationally" …. wording adjusted though :(

      • +1

        I think it's national, I just got mine from Costco Casuarina yesterday. Just depends on stock levels

  • +1

    Thanks.. all I need now is a train and I'm set.

  • +1

    Would I need 3 or 4 to have a bath in it?

    • More like 10-20, depending on your bath tub. One gravy tub makes 20 litres.

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Stocked up for 21st of December .

  • Why should one person eat this?
    Great majority of the ingredients are subject to a huge 'please steer clear from extremely processed foods' medical advice.
    I mean I could write the same about beer, but that's different story.

    • Wheat Flour, Maltodextrin (From Corn), Modified Starch (1422), Salt, Sugar, Yeast Extract, Vegetable Fat, Flavour Enhancers (621, 635), Flavours (Contain Wheat & Soy), Colour (150c). Onion Powder, Food Acid (330), Spice.

      What exectly bothers you, given you don't consume litres? TBH it's healthier than a home-made gravey made out animal fat and burnt beats.

      • Literally everything aside salt (which should be consumed in moderation, onion and spice(?!) is extremely processed.
        I don't think to elaborate further, I mean if you think that this can be in some form part of an healthy diet, then I think we live on different universes.
        Even more so that people chuck a spoon of this here and there on a daily basis.
        You can achieve flavours in so many other, healthier and less addictive ways out there.

        • Like I said, it's 100% healthier alternative to traditional gravy and I don't need to study nutrition to know that. I also don't know who the "people" who "chuck a spoon of this here and there" are, nor I don't know what "extremely processed" is. You're eating chemicals that you'd normally eat in other things, but here they're extracted and put into an engineered, perfectly edible product. May not sound overly romantic, but this is what it is.

          And having not attented any nutrition courses, I wouldn't call it a part of my diet - merely an occassional extra side. Of course it's better if I only eat raw plants, but… yeah, you know.

          So, what's so addictive and harmful in this product? I'd love a qualified person to elaborate.

          • @pizzaguy: Look if this is about being vegan/vegetarian, I don't think we can have an honest exchange.

            Also I don't think we need an expert involved.
            Just some common sense.
            If you're trying to convince me that there's anything good about this stuff, we're both wasting our time.

            Animal fat is unhealthy? I thought that we were no longer living in the myths of the 1950 and 60's.
            Better to have canola oil instead?
            Please provide source.

            Burnt beats?
            Colour 150c is literally burnt residue of foods and sugars.

            Addictive? This crap powder is full of MSC, salt, sugar, modified starchs, if they aren't addictive, I don't know what is. They are literally designed to keep you coming back.

            • @Hasbulla:

              Look if this is about being vegan/vegetarian, I don't think we can have an honest exchange.

              Wut? I guess that's why we'd need an expert involved, because I feel my common sense mixed with some-educated guessing is pretty fine.

              Everything past your first paragraph (the first three lines) is just untrue and you are going to need a serious source to convince me, as there's a myriad of sources indicating what's healthy here. The caramel is for colouring (and it's not burnt, BTW) and its amount doesn't compare to the cancerous layer of acrylamide on your pan after frying, if you're doing your gravy the traditional way, like most do. And re addictiveness - I can't stress enough that you probably shouldn't drink litres of it at one sitting and I'm quite sure nobody does that… Another BTW: It has 3x less sugar than fruit juice, in case you consider that healthy (and "not processed").

              Ironically, you sound like you heard something about nutrition in "1950 and 60's" and I'd recommend updating the knowledge!

              • @pizzaguy: I tried mate
                I failed
                Enjoy this prime food of yours

                • @Hasbulla: I'm always ready to fight dangerous myths.

                  You provided no sources (because there are none?), you seem to stick to buzz phrases ("processed food", "extremely processed food") and untrue or half-true bits you probably heard somewhere, you repeat irrelevant things. Feels like talking religion with a religious person who never studied their religion.

                  Please, read!

                  • @pizzaguy: ok, I'll read, I'll try my best I swear.
                    Again, happy fighting myths and conspiracies while enjoying the highest finest ingredients, unparalleled nutrition and authentic flavours that only such an unmissable pantry staple like this one can offer.

            • @Hasbulla: Hmmmm MSG.

        • I mean if you think that this can be in some form part of an healthy diet

          Absolutely any food can form part of a healthy diet in moderation.

          If you're just trying to completely avoid anything "unhealthy" then you're doing it wrong…

          • @Nom: Agreed!
            However, of all unhealthy foods out there I’m not picking the maggi gravy for sure

            • @Hasbulla: As a somewhat interesting exercise, I provided Maggi's ingredients, nutritional value and instructions to Chat GPT and it concluded:

              Overall, choosing a lower-sodium and lower-fat alternative to traditional gravy, such as the powdered gravy you mentioned earlier, can be a healthier option. However, it's also possible to make healthier versions of traditional gravy by using lower-fat meat drippings, avoiding burnt bits, and using other flavorings and seasonings to enhance the flavor.

              But that answer is extremely processed.

              • @pizzaguy: I don't know whether to cry in despair or laugh for compassion.
