Generally not a fan of multibuys but not going to pretend I only buy 1 when they are half price.

haha you would think …..but I'm slim, gotta work these things off
Tips and tricks for working it off
Nice, How did you embed a link into an emoji?
Is there any real reason why corporations need to add "soy", "colours" & "flavours" to what should otherwise be just a simple vanilla bean ice cream?
real ice cream is usually 3 or 4 ingredients this is just cheap way to mass produce, these days I can make a litre for about the same price without all the additive crap
Any link to a good recipe please?
I use a variation of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTNBcPzjFCo
ignore adding the food colouring it's not necessary, you can add vanilla bean too, strong tasting ripe mangos are best but other fruit is fine too, I sometimes use marscapone as a substitute for cream or a mix of both
Any chance you have a recipe that works well ?
how else do you keep up with the demand for creativity these days 🤷‍♂️. I’d like to see a vegemite twist one of these days similar to what Cadbury did some time ago.
Money. Those are all cheaper substitutes than the real thing. Real thing being more cream and more vanilla
Coles sale tactic are the multi-buys…. not you too, Woolies :(
They are trying the member only pricing. Sigh.
not a fan of multibuys
You know jv is miffed if there's no bolded word
The second space is bolded…
+1 for OPs comment, I usually end up with 3 or 4 when half price, have to clear up freezer space for them at times.
I don't remember BOGOF being part of the woollies repertoire.
Is this new?
Its actually labelled as "2 for $12.00"
They do quite a bit of "2 for $X". weirdly the other day i was looking at a pack of frozen dumplings that were $8.50 or 2 for $8.50.
It's usually part of that cyclical full-price-sale-price thing they do https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10-26/coles-woolworths-supe…
ahhh so the price of 2 tubs just last year… now a single tub is $12… fark!
When was the normal price of one tub $6? Since we switched to this brand 8 years a go, it was already around $10, and we have always been waiting for half price promotions
For real, 8 years? I seem to remember they were a luxury buy when they were priced at $6-8 lol.. maybe 12-15(+) years ago?
2019 they were $5 on special
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/492504
2021 $5.50
2022 $6/ea special
Man ozbargain is a good way to show inflation over time
@Jazza2400: We have been buying this at $6ea only. Coles, WW, IGA. Rarely we needed to buy at $7.2 or $9.
Do the 2 tubs need to be of the same variety?
No
A gentle reminder that if I scream, and you scream, then we all scream, for ice cream.
Multibuys just a way to jack up prices, sell for $5 on special but suddenly 2 for $12 is a special. Next thing 50% off makes it $7…
haven't seen them for $5 for a good while now
If you haven’t had the cafe grande recently, someone at Connoisseur thought it’d be a good idea to change the recipe by adding orange liqueur (Grand Marnier) for some reason.
Turned it from a favourite to a never again…
lol what. It's always had grand marnier. Comment from 2016: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/244858#comment-3643747
my own comment complaining in 2022 lol: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/12575365/redir
Agree… Its been in there ever since I can remember (and one of the reasons I like it!)
used to buy when they had the dark chocolate with the swirl of cherry brandy sauce through it and I think cashews, I used to then get some of the different choc ones after that one was discontinued, but I think it is too expensive now…..I just get the Streets choc when I want choc, or Bulla choc chip when on special…..also used to love the WW brand Black Forest one….had just had it a few times then they discontinued it…..gutted when that happened.
I remember the cherry sauce ones. Can't remember the name, maybe Chocolate Obsession. Was the best.
Palm oil….Yum :)
Better than Sole oil…
Depends on what the Palm has been doing…
Does anyone know where we can find the Matcha Green Tea flavour in Adelaide?? Preferably north/east
Raspberry white chocolate is the best flavour.
When browsing '1/2 price specials' is it just me or have they removed the ability to browse the specials by category? (Pantry, Drink, Lunchbox, Cleaning etc…)
Thanks, will swing by to grab some. Love the Cafe Grande and Matcha, though it's a shame they changed the vanilla flavour a few years back. Used to be a fan but now it's become too sweet and doesn't have the beans anymore and its tough getting a substitute that fits my taste…
Anyone know of good vanilla ice cream brands? I've tried:
- Bulla Murray St (on the sweeter side and tastes a bit more caramel)
- Sara Lee (too sweet)
- Coles Irresistible (good flavour/sweetness but oily aftertaste)
and used to get Due South which was nice enough but then they stopped supplying.
problem I have is they don't last, as in I can do a whole tub in no time, 2 nights it's gone maybe less
