Publicly called out, Woolies are scammers
That would be the supplier. Woolies doesn't make double the markup on importers products or else half the dairy section would be foreign ice cream.
This is true…they prefer to triple the markup!
This is at Pak n save too, known to be cheaper then others
It's made in NZ with ingredients imported from China.
Wouldn't be touching this garbage with a 40-foot pole.
Especially given Woollies sells at least two Australian ice cream brands that are actual ice cream and haven't changed their recipes or ingredients in over 50 years (Norco & Golden North).
Ummm. Check out the ingredients! Norco (normal blue tub) is no longer ice cream. Unfortunately it’s now just an ice confection - it’s a sugar and water mix rather than the required milk content to classify as ‘ice cream’.
There isn’t many real ones left - the red tub bulla being one of the few real ice creams left@BargainRunner: Ain't that the truth. Bulla is real alright, real milk, and real cream.
It's the finest ice cream around - the stuff is just epicAin't that the truth. Bulla is real alright, real milk, and real cream.
Bulla ice cream is mostly water, sugar and seaweed thickener. It's got so little dairy content in it, it's only 6% fat, which is less than half the fat that actual Ice Cream has in it. The total amount of all Milk products in Bulla Ice Cream is only 8%.
Actual ice cream like Norco makes on the other hand is above 15% fat and the majority of it's content is milk products that the farmers who have owned the brand for 125 years still source and use fresh in it every day.
Unfortunately it’s now just an ice confection - it’s a sugar and water mix rather than the required milk content to classify as ‘ice cream’.
Why would you make something like that up?

I think you should blame Much Moore rather than Woolies. Woolies can’t put random RRP prices in without Much Moore signing off and approving it
Not correct Woolworths do what they like ,3 months ago I had a faulty box of cereal so I called up the manufacturer in Australia they sent me a voucher to buy another box when I received the voucher $6 for my $9 box that I purchased I rang them back & said you only sent me a $6 voucher & the box cost me $9, they said the rrp is $6 it's up to the retail stores to do what they want. I'm now trying to let everyone know the way we are being ripped of big time .
That’s actually illegal so you should stop buying anything from Coles or Woolies or IGA in protest. Much Moore can set a maximum price that it is sold for and if they didn’t that’s Much Moores issue
The law is that
Suppliers can recommend appropriate prices, for example, by providing a recommended resale price (RRP) list.
Suppliers can set a maximum retail price.
@spock: That's because (a) ALDI doesn't like price comparisons unless it's in their favour; (b) they have their own lines made by the same suppliers but obviously have an agreement not to reveal those makers (and probably not to discount an agreed price); (c) an RRP would give a starting point to people revealing the maker (eg Streets Blue Ribbon/Silver Scoop).
Btw ALDI, your brown onions are regularly the pits, on a par with Ww specials.
@illusion99: Actually not illegal if that's the RRP/Shelf Price. Retailers are free to set any shelf pricing they would like - suppliers can give a recommended shelf price which does not have to be adhered to.
However, suppliers can set a maximum sell price (RPP) which typically is tied into promotional funding which is non-claimable if the retailer goes above that price point.
Typically retailers will always follow a RPP as they need the scan funding to achieve their margin targets with the volume uplifts associated with price promotions.
@illusion99: What law is that? Suppliers CAN but don't always set a maximum price but even that doesn't make it illegal to sell above that price. Depending on market power etc suppliers may refuse to provide the goods to sellers, they can terminate existing agreements, and they can take legal action for damages for breach of contract.
Much Moore wants to sell more product. Why would they take on a monolith such as Woolworths/Countdown unless it was damaging theor brand?
Take it back to Woolworths. Its there responsibility to resolve.
They will claim back from suppliers
Was the faulty box repairable? What did you end up doing with it?
Everyone thinks when an item is 50% off they are getting a bargain when the actually they are only paying the RRP. Such is our greedy supermarkets. They used to discount raw meat/chicken 50% a day before the used by date, now they only give you 10% off on the day until 2 hours before closing time then they drop the price to about half. I see many good foods got thrown out because of it. They are so f….ng stingy and they don't care as long as they are making more money instead of saving the planet.
@craving: They do that because it's the staff taking all the 50%-70% discounted items at store closing. It's not going to waste.
This is why we never buy ice cream at RRP anymore. RRP = Recommended Ripoff Price. 50% off is the real RRP.
Exactly right but the ACCC sit on there hands and do nothing when it's blatantly clear of these markup to mark down RRP ripoffs .
The suppliers should just pull their products from Coles/Woolies unless they sell at the suppliers stated price
@illusion99: That would be great in the ideal world but who else do they sell to in a monopoly controlled market .
I don't agree with the premise but what exactly can the ACCC do when we're wedded to a "free" market (no such thing of course)? We'll find out how little in about 12 months. Naming/shaming should do the trick if the Au Day fiasco is anything to go by. Apparently Dutton only agrees with free enterprise when he thinks there's votes in it. He and his party of misfits are generally dead-set anti regulation so that really leaves competition as the answer.
Apart from helping individual consumers, the ACCC only acts in a large scale when the government or a government agency (Police, etc…) investigate then direct them to take action, or want them to do the actual investigating on behalf of them.
Thats not the "premium" range but its still cheaper in NZ and has more flavours at $6.79NZD

EDIT: Lol the Fairy Bread and Orange flavours look interesting
Looks like a special paknsave deal. Ww NZ stores (Countdown) suggest the normal price is $7.49 NZ. The hugemarkup here to $11 is worth complaining about, even allowing for transport costs. Appears that Ww Au tries to market this as a semi-premium ice-cream hence their $11 regular price. Only tried one variety and it was VERY mediocre. Premium? As Darryl famously said - dreaming.
Can anyone comment on how the Much Moore cookie dough compares to the Ben and Jerry's version?
I havent tried the ben and jerry's to compare but personally I love the cookie dough flavour, it is my favourite ice cream out of all of them. I Unfortunately my local woolies never seems to have it anymore so I haven't been able to get it in a few months but I highly recommend trying it.
I found this brand really underwhelming, at least for chocolate.
Were you expecting much moore?
Agreed. I saw a lot of people talking about it on Ozbargain, decided to try it and was really confused about why it gets talked about so much. I found it mediocre at best. Maybe just got the wrong flavour (cookie dough). Are there other flavours that are actually good? Haha
Thanks. Saved me some dough
The Boysenberry is pretty good. The Churro and Hokey Pokey are also decent, but they lack the chunks that would make it better.
Will give it a go! Thanks mate :)
never got chance to try churro flavour. it's always out of stock.
I see what you are doing here…"its horrible everyone"…good plan.
Love this brand. Particularly the salted caramel flavour.
Yes and the Hokey Pokey is pretty good too.
My impression of the Hokey Pokey was that is glorified vanilla, and not very good vanilla at that. It has a faint tinge of something light brown stuff that could be hokey pokey, but it isn't obvious.
This stuff is just dreadful and boring as bat-poo compared with Connoisseur flavours like choc chip cookie. Yes it is half the price this week ($5.50 vs $6) for twice as much, but it should be 1/10th of the price.
I definitely will never buy MM again - in any flavour.
Aldi price for similar flavoured ice cream in 2 ltr is $5.50 every day. Made in OZ 62% ingredients
Silver Scoop? Likely that's Streets Blue Ribbon equivalent. Very limted flavours, not that we care as mainly vanilla consumers. SS vanilla with buttermilk is good enough without being rave worthy.
The adli ice-cream doesn't come closet to this. The salted caramel is so good.
Meh. Tastes are highly subjective. Tried one of these - think it was boysenberry - and it was very mediocre. Other flavours might be better but comments on previous similar deals suggest I'm not on my pat about MM's "premium quality".
I would only buy the salted caramel
@mckayver: Too sweet a combo for me. Might try the Hokey Pokey as a compromise. Can always pass it on to the bil.
Tbh, at least the flavours look good/interesting.
I haven't tried this, but for all those complaining, at this price point you can't really be comparing against Ben & Jerry's, conniseur, etc. which are double the price - apt comparisons would be more the big tubs of Bulla, etc.
I prefer this over Ben & Diabetes and Conniseur (pretty close with the later). Bulla is just above homebrand (a bit more milk fat..just).
I tried the four flavours and it was not good.
However the Hokey Pokey was ok.
Not sure about the others.
I think boysenberry is really good.
Please sir I want some Moore
2L at this price? Moore foam?
Aldi's gourmet ice cream is made in New Zealand, most likely by Much More.
These look familiar…
Bubble gum is so good, but you can't get it on its own. Must be in quarters :(
This. My little one loves the "green" ice cream with gummies in it. Unfortunately always the first flavour to be devoured!
You can get Bulla real ice cream - made from fresh milk and cream - for around this price a lot of the time.
I laugh at your peasant like 'ice confections'
Half price half price yeah sure Woolworths so why is it always cheaper than half price at the normal Rrp in nz https://www.paknsave.co.nz/shop/product/5031615_ea_000pns?na…
