Saw this at Glory Mart as I went past on Kingsway, Glen Waverley.
This is a little cheaper than the Coles deal, when you buy a box, if you live close, and you don't mind the close best before date. If you live far away, don't bother, as I won't pay for your petrol :P
A few things to note though:
-Cash payments only
-Short-dated: 30/11/2012
-Have to buy ONE box (Buying it in smaller quantities was more expensive than Coles)
(Glory Mart is an Asian grocery store…)
"Wow for free! Surplus drums of mayonnaise from Operation Desert Storm!"
mmmmm… Expired fooood… garrrrgl
Use-by in 2.5 months.
Your definition of "almost" is very different to mine - or maybe it's just your maths ain't great.
Well my maths says that means you eat one pack every 2.5 days for 75 days to eat them all before expiry.
However, that assumes:
I am not an uni and therefore will eat anything that expired last week/month/year.
I am not buying for 3 mates who also survive on pre-packed fried food.
But hey, I can see where your coming from. Of the three major food groups (fast, fried and frozen) you only need to find cheap fast and frozen to survive until after christmas.
Booyah!
You omitted at least one other assumption - apparently you drop dead if you eat them on 1 December.
No, the assumption you made is that after 1 December they classify as "food" instead of landfill.
Seems hotdogs are at the top of your "food"chain? :)

Make mine noodles, thanks.
I was just in Glenny half an hour ago…
Glenny and Garl
with the preservatives and palm oil, I'm sure this will be tasty well past the date on the packed ;)
Coles have Indomie Mi Goreng 5 pack for $1.46. Work out 83cents more per box of 30. I am sure Coles would have better expire date.
Yeah mine from Coles are 31/5/13.
I'd just pay the 80 cents. If the Coles deal weren't on this would be worth considering, but it's not.
yes it does. just bought some from coles today.
I just came home via coles with only two packs, and I concur.
I do, however, wonder why I was charged $1.47 for each of my packs…… Where's my 2cents!?
Glory Mart, eh? Hmmm.. I wonder how they came to have that name. Lol ten bucks there's a back room with a.. yep, you guessed it.. a glory hole.
Yup, we were all thinking it… :)
Glory, glory, hallelujah! ;D
but those on the other side are short-dated?
I thought it as well.. Didn't want to mention it in the OP.
I also had the image that when the Mi Goreng expires, the palm oil is reused otherwise…
Makanan ane di Indonesia nih… Indomie,,seleraku… :D
The real surprise here is… deep fried, freeze dried noodles have an expiry date?
There is something very Homer Simpson about getting excited over bulk, discount, almost expired pre-packaged food.
