I saw this today at Coles Toowong QLD - 5KG bag for 99 cents / 20 cents per kg.
They didn't look old or anything bad.
As a single person I had no need to buy them. I hope it helps someone.
Edit:
Looking forward to any funny comments and feedback, but please be kind as it's my 2nd deal posted.

Updated: 5kg Potatoes also 99c. Thanks RADISHYUEN.

Both have plenty of stock.

Brown Onions reg price $3.90/kg
Potatoes reg price $4.50/kg

    Bargain, I’d get them if I lived anywhere near there!

    • N15 on 29/03/2023 - 22:45

      They were pretty big onions. What would you make with them?

      I guess suitable for fried onion rings?

      As I walked past I remembered when I was a kid a bikie showed me how to make an orange pipe gun. So wondered if onions would work the same.

        Other than just diced in general cooking, I use a fair bit of onion making chilli jam. Bigger onions are better, less peeling required.

        Onions form the base for a lot of soups and stocks; both are easy to prepare and freeze.

        I always put chopped onion in my butter chicken to bulk it up a bit more.

    We can’t bust heads like we used to—but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don’t go anywhere like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

    Were there any budgie-smugglers on sale-make my trip worthwhile - Tony.

    • N15 on 29/03/2023 - 22:54

      Hi Tony. Not that I saw, but if you send me a decent pic I'll look for you next time and it might be worth your while.

      • Royale with cheese on 30/03/2023 - 10:58

        It wont be a decent pic. Be careful what you ask for.

    • N15 on 29/03/2023 - 23:05

      Yeah I know it's only a little local deal. Like I said - I hope it helps someone.

      I should have also posted when Fresco opened here on Sunday. They had 20% off storewide and all the other stores had 20% off all day to celebrate too.

      You never know, maybe I'll find a deal that works for you too.

    • Royale with cheese on 30/03/2023 - 10:58

      Pack a truck and sell em for a profit

      I don't need onions for the tears laughing about this and my contribution to OZB.

    All AusPost satchels can carry 5-kg now.

    Jus' sayin'…

    • Royale with cheese on 30/03/2023 - 11:05

      But my personal favorite is the unique combination of week-old potatoes and tropical heat.

    Get some foil and you have DIY easter eggs

    edit: Looks like custard tarts are on clearance too

          I think N15 is self-identifying as a tart.

    Bargain. Even “fresh” onions are half black and rotted much of the time.

    • N15 on 29/03/2023 - 23:41
      +1

      Yeah I don't think describing anything as 'fresh' means anything legally when it comes to food.

      • N15 on 29/03/2023 - 23:51

        Also nothing wrong with half black.. I'm sure they still okay

      • Eeples on 30/03/2023 - 11:26

        ‘Fresh’ by law in NSW when applied to seafood means never frozen.

      Confirmed this morning. I updated the post. Thanks.

  • rehan770 on 30/03/2023 - 02:27

    Thanks mate, will buy 2moro. Good to add red onions for stir fry, it makes your food delicious, try it.

  • nuttapillar on 30/03/2023 - 03:05

    How many onions can you safely eat per day?

  • Delilahgetsaround on 30/03/2023 - 09:28

    Seems silly to sell potato at 99c when there is such a big shortage. " Sheds MSM tears "

    • Royale with cheese on 30/03/2023 - 11:08
      +1

      Maybe the shortage is all created artificially to inflate prices

    • vawiyoci on 30/03/2023 - 12:07

      Thought the 'shortage' is actually from the flooded fries/chips factory and not actual lack of crops? Frozen chips and hash browns freezers have been empty for months now but there doesn't seem to be lack of potatoes in the fresh produce sections at the local colesworth / aldi / iga.

      • Delilahgetsaround on 30/03/2023 - 12:32

        "The prolonged wet weather made it too difficult to manage the crops that were in the ground, made it difficult to harvest early crops, and it meant there were really quite significant delays in getting the new crops planted, particularly in the [NSW] Riverina, and in the Central Highlands here in Victoria, and in Tasmania."

        "That's not only impacted the number of spuds that have grown in potato processing regions, but their size."

        You are right that it only seems to be a frozen potato shortage.

          Was just funny for us cos it seemed like maccas and cafes and restaurants are hogging all the hash browns.
