Still at my woollies
Check your local asian grocers, sometimes the Thai made Dr Pepper or A&W root beer are available and cheap.
It generally is always in stock in the import section aisle more so in the area after the Italian biscuits and ive always seen it on like the lower shelves at coles.
Just go to your local tobacco store
Only if it's sugar free.
IMO their best sale is when the free shipping is on.
Yeah I just did a dummy order for a few packs of Ruffles original as I wasn't sure how expensive shipping would be. It was $18 - which pretty much stopped me from ordering
Costco sells the huge bags for $10.
Pity Costco doesn't sell cheese and sour cream Ruffles
not the original!!! I've been down this rabbit hole before :(.
Costco used to sell the Ruffles original and one day they disappeared never to return. I've asked Costco before and they don't have an answer. Every time I go to Costco I check but haven't seen them in years. They only have the green version (which I think is like sour cream and onion or something). It got to a point that I actually emailed Lays, but they never replied. Was genuinely shattered that they disappeared.
I've found Ruffles original before around town (usually in those 24 hour ezymart but they cost like $10-15) which is too expensive. Otherwise, the next best bet is getting the NZ chips from Reject shop - closest thing to Ruffles.
I wish Costco would bring Ruffles Original back.
same!
After watching American TV/movies for years you are all these snack foods and build up the idea they must be great. I get excited when I finally get a chance to try them, yet I'm almost always disappointed. Oreos and specially jelly beans are decent I guess.
Agree 100%
Americans are being shafted with a lot of their snacks.
Twinkies
Reese’s
Any American chocolate
Etc
Agree overrated. I remember purchasing 2.5kgs of Red Vines from Costco many years ago. Absolutely terrible.

Their potato chips ain't bad though.
haha, I did the exact same thing when Costco first opened at Docklands. I couldn't even give them away so they ended up in the bin.
I was excited to buy a box of Twinkies from Walmart on my first visit to the US. I ate half a twinkie and then threw out the entire box
Never meet your heros… or in this case, eat your aspirations.

It's mostly all Sugar and Salt laden Junk food…..do your body a favour and move on.
Good advice.. it will be bin laden soon enough.
Osama????
It's the annual short dated sale that they run… Probably trying to clear near expiring/best before products
Na, bought plenty from them in the past, never had an issue with expiry dates (I do always ask before placing orders though lol). Picked up my order today, and stuff expires Feb, April and even October 2025!
Thank you Mr. GOODBAR
Any jujyfruits?
I just visited the store, very busy this afternoon. It's 20% off everything, not just short dated stuff. Bilbo Snaggins hot dog stall is outside today.
It's always entertaining visting the store in Cheltenham and watching obese homesick Americans (and some aussies i am sure) piling up their trolleys with cases of sugar-laden snacks, drinks and breakfast confectionary (aka "cereal")
There really is no major difference to any of the confectionary isles at a coles or woolworths.
Broadly agree but HCFS is far more prominent in American drinks.
Salty, sweet, chemical filled trash quality excuse for food
Here… have a lettuce leaf
$20 shipping to Sydney :(
Username doesn’t check out.
I thought they offered free shipping for orders above $100.
Any free shipping codes?
Even if there was, shopping won't stack
Clam chowder never seems to be in stock.

Costco sells this 👍
I have not seen, will take another look next time I'm at Costco.
Only alternative so far is from Woolworths, but not the same I can remember.
Genuine question is there anything worth trying from there? The only thing I've liked so far is twinkies, everything else I've tries has been a big disappointment. twizzlers - very strong strawberry smell almost like perfume but tastes like half cooked pasta with some sugar added, candy corn - tastes like cheap milk choc, chips - I'll stick with local stuff, so many flavours of soft drinks but the price not worth the experience, chocolate - I don't hate myself enough to endure american chocolate. Pop tarts maybe? Maybe some exotic mexican ingredients?
Agree, their products are very overrated. If anyone lives in Melbourne's East, theres a store in Westfield Doncaster that sells a large variety of American food. It's really nothing to be overly excited about.
I think there’s one in Knox too near Schnitz. Those independent lolly stores tend to have American sweets I’m pretty sure.
I have the same thoughts and same question.
I can't think of an American import food or drink I liked enough to get again (let alone pay this kind of postage for). Are there any hidden gems to try?
Tried a bunch of pop tarts and they are pretty bad. Strawberry was the most edible but still not good.
I think Mexican coke isn’t bad. I’ve been keen to try Snapple as I haven’t had that before too. Other than that some of the savoury stuff like chips might be interesting to try. Not really interested in much else, I’ve tried other American snacks and was never really impressed.
I thought pop tarts were once sold in Australia? I swear they were on shelves in Safeway and/or Coles in the 90s… looks like they were sold up until 2005. Either way pop tarts have been readily available from what I’ve seen, a lot of lolly stores tend to stock them.
I grabbed a bunch of Culley's Brutality hot sauce (one of my go to hot sauces) last time they ran the 20% off. This sauce is normally pretty expensive at $23-$25 a bottle, but for some reason it's marked at $13.99 (even before the 20% discount). It's NOT short dated, so I'm assuming it might be a price error (or they had some short dated stock, and forgot to change the price back). Sold out now unfortunately!
Their Roasted Carolina Reaper sauce is also priced the same ($13.99, but usually $20+), and that one is in stock. If i hadnt stocked up on Brutality already (which I prefer), I would grab some! (The other two, Firewater and F Me That's Hot, are both regular price.)
The numbered Culley's sauces that I've tried have all been good (I like No. 10). The more expensive fat bottle ones, like Firewater, F Me That's Hot, Roasted Carolina Reaper, are all great - and Brutality is my favourite of all! I dont like the new Culley's sauces (skinny bottles, but non-numbered) that are now selling in Colesworth - mass produced and/or dumbed down for selling in supermarkets, I suspect.
Culley's are from NZ, fyi. I believe their Firewater was featured on a season of Hot Ones.
I love the 10s. Everytime I get notified Amazon has stock I stock up.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is pretty close to crack imo
I've been going there since they were operating out of a smaller store with no web presence in the 90s. They were magic at that time, but since then a lot has changed and other import stores have opened (there's one around the corner called Euro foods that offer a lot of the same things + more). Even Aldi has their "American-days", like right now where they sell twinkies at 10 for $10
One thing that is still good value is the blowpops. Got a bunch the other day for $1 each, and I give them to my nephews when I see them. That's if I don't eat them my self. Huge ass lolly pop. Unfortunately out of stock atm
I got there mainly to get one thing. Tony Chareres creole seasoning. The rest I walk around and think wtf is all this shit?
DAMMIT, I forgot to use the code.
quick cancel and rebuy!
No cancel option I could find
$19 shipping kills it.
GMOs
oooof shipping fee kills it
I just want cheap Dr Pepper back in Woolies and Coles.
