Finally 1/2 price again after 18 months.

At $2.25 for 6 pack (0.57 per 100g), it's cheaper than the bulk pack at Costco 30 pack $12.99 ($0.67 per 100g) and the Woolworths 15 Pack Everyday low price $11 ($1.13/100g). Edit: On special until 16/3 at Costco for $9.99 ($0.51 per 100g) thanks LT86, for those who are members and have a Costco nearby with stock, ends this Sunday.

Find it in the freezer section. Put it on a non stick pan for ~2 minutes each side, no defrosting required.

          Everyone gains from trade.

          A very simple example but just like you can't produce everything you need by yourself (you might not have the tools or the knowledge or it is too expensive), countries (even firms) produce what they're globally competitive in.

          Some don't, and there are plenty of examples that show how that hurts the consumers (general public).

          No sane person would choose a Lada over a Toyota, for example.

              @jv: I know you jest but yeah, the gains from trade aren't equally distributed.

              Firms that achieve economies of scale and are able to export, win.

              Firms that go out of business because they can't compete with others, lose.

              However, the benefits that the general public enjoys (cheap prices; higher quality) outweigh the losses from firms going out of business.

            @Lemmefink: Not really. Depends. We're seeing this play out now with dependency on certain countries like Russia, Ukraine, China, USA, India etc.

            The issue with trade is that the country that holds the cards will hold all the advantages, if not most. We're absolutely reliant on China/Asia manufacturing now and to get most of the systems/moulds and inventory will take at least a decade or two to get going.

            A simple example would be jars. The moulds for them take ages to acquire and they're expensive AF.

            Not good when shit hits the fan like war or pandemic forcing to shift gear into self sufficiency and autonomy.

      Paying for fruit harvested in Argentina, transported to Thailand for packing, and then sold in USA (or Australia), but paying $0.15 for paper-bags transported from Vietnam and driving EVs is going to improve the Australian environment and/or climate.

      • TEER3X on 12/03/2025 - 12:38

        How does driving EVs over the long term not improve the environment (over driving ICE cars)?

        • whyisave on 12/03/2025 - 13:28
          +1

          ICE cars is definitely polluting.
          No one talks about planting more trees to combat pollution,
          but talks about how to maintain the same habit of driving, just in non-polluting way.

          By the way, chopping trees down for toilet-paper also doesn't serve the environment,
          but 1st world people need their toilet paper than 3rd world people, haha

          Anyway, the statement I made is the juxpositioning about how the environment is used as a "marketing tool" and "virtue signal" about the environment. (like transporting the paper-bags from Vietnam, at ColesWorths).

          Driving EVs will most likely be better for the environment, when doing a binary comparison with an ICE, but our current electricity generation in Australia is in itself a polluting activity, as well as the huge amount of energy elements which go into making cars (coking steel, mining rare earths, mass producing glass, etc.)

          Capitalism depends on exploiting the environment, and the oxymoronic capitalists are trying to profit in how they save the environment.

          The idea was to very slowly motivate this environmental-awareness adoption by the masses, so that they can create a new 'currency' around carbon, ie. it's already entered the current economic system as a form of currency.

          From this, they create a new asset class to create derivatives and able to 'tokenize' nature, … so imagine the glee that bankers have, when then can tap into this 'untapped' market of the environment, and sell back the water and the air and the trees, back to the people.

            Yes, as with every other country's electricity generation, but it's a moot point, since Australia has the highest generation of solar power per capita in the entire world.

      If you are hyper-price sensitive, like most users of this site, you are a major reason why this occurs.

      It is cheaper to manufacture abroad, and so long as people continue to buy home brands and other cost-cutting options that rely on outsourcing to keep costs low, this will continue.

      Local manufacturing in a high-cost country like Australia just costs a lot. Pay up or shut up.

    This is not how standard roti looks. It shouldn't be fluffy and shouldn't have layers. It shouldn't be made of super-refined fine flour. It should be made of ground whole wheat flour.

    That aside, what's expiry like?

      It's a joy to see Roti being made in front of us…

      Every Roti I've eaten overseas, was folded, producing layers. Different regions / countries will have different preparation.
      So not sure what your "standard roti" is like.

      These are also sold as a Whole Wheat version - usually not reduced. Seen in Woolies.

        This is a random one of thousands of recipes you would find for making a roti. This is what people refer to when they say 'roti'.

          There are so many versions!
          Have cooked them for a large group of Indians.

          Even WOOLIES has a recipe for Spicy Indian Roti

            @INFIDEL: The roti listed here is more of roti canai which is a far less common version, more popular in Malaysia/Singapore. Some comment above already suggested it.

            I am not debating the fact that roti can have tens of versions depending on what you put in and how you cook.. all I am suggesting is that 'roti' means one particular version, when a majority of a billion people in a country refer to that word.
