Didn't realise Olive Oil went up again…
3L for $50 = $1.66/100ml
The 750ml Cobram Bottle has also increased to $25, which would be $12.50 when half price - same price per unit ($1.66/100ml)
The ALDI equivalent is slightly cheaper if you can find stock - 3L for $45.99
Plus you can get an extra 10% off using Everyday Rewards Extra(if you’re subscribed) + Extra 4-5% off if paying via discounted Woolies Gift Cards.
Close to $50 at my local Aldi for the oil as everyone has noticed so I didn't buy any , but of course I will in the near future.
Regarding price increases, I sent an email to a well known bricks&mortar store who I buy off online after noticing consecutive price increases on a product I purchase every 2 months. The delivery charge is the same but the product has gone up 3 to 4 dollars every two months, it's a local Aus product and I'm like; Why? So I asked them why and I got a reply today from the Customer Service Director:
Hi
Thanks for your email. It is good feedback regarding our decision to increase the price over a period of time.
Several factors have led to significantly increased cost of producing and distributing food products in Australia and globally. Factors such as escalating energy expenses, global and national freight costs and unpredictable weather conditions resulting crop failures and limited availability, to name a few.
Despite our determined efforts to absorb these increased costs, a point has been reached where maintaining our previous pricing became unsustainable. The price increases for selected products have been carried out over a period of time, rather than one large increase.
Decisions to adjust prices are never taken lightly and we assure you of our commitment to providing you with the best possible prices always as we navigate the current challenges.
Again, thanks for getting for your feedback.
I expected to get a public relations answer and that's exactly what I got. When he says " It is good feedback regarding our decision to increase the price over a period of time."
He lost me.
Lets talk about the price of Coffee….
That's only a 15$ discount. 20 something percent.
Half price would be lovely 😅
The 3L Tin hasn't been half price in years (if ever).
It was in COVID because I bought 3 tins. From memory it was $15 maybe ,$18
i remember it used to sell around $17 when woolies and coles do the half price promotion, ten years ago
What about the lemon infused one that makes salads amazing… in that tiny bottle
This sucks. Down to my last bottle from the last 1/2 price sale at $9 for the 750ml bottles. I was just telling my wife don't worry there will be another sale soon. Damn shed out of luck it seems.
I feel you.. been holding off for ages too, but the 'other' olive oils aren't as good.
Seems olive oil prices won't come down this year!
I ordered EVOO in pouches from Cobram Estate. Is it safe to consume long term? The price was too good to refuse for the good stuff.

I've reverted to making my own oil for cooking. Good old beef tallow. My butcher gives me the fat. Its delicious and free.
I tried doing that and my butcher charged me $25/kg for cuts they just throw out…
I'm confident that the olive oil price hike is man-made and all shortages and excuses are bullshit. A bit like how covid19 thew in the shipping delay excuse for approximately 18 subsequent years for just about everything on the planet because it was convenient.
They also like to use inflation as an excuse. Inflation is 5% so let's jack the prices by 50% and get away with it.
Page shows that it's $65.
@RichardL / OP - keen to see how you know it'll be on special on the 3rd July?
Found it, thanks @RichardL!
Personally I would:
- Only stock up Cobram 750ml when it's strictly 1/2 price at Colesworth.
- Temporarily buy Aldi 1L when running out of Cobram and waiting for the next specials.
Tbh I could not be bothered with fiddling with the big cans and funnel for no or just a little of saving. The wasted oil and having to clean up is just not worth it for me.
can't believe this is $65 normally
