hmm.. thanks for pointing that out.. that’s a deal breaker. 4kg cheese is a lottt unless I’m hosting a party or whatever it’ll take me ages to finish it.

Yup - that’s a lot of cheese. Mind you, still have 5 weeks to make the purchases. My family of four will easily do 4 blocks.

Ours too, and it does have a long shelf life. Just don’t know if I should spend $40 on cheese this week, otherwise I tend to loose the receips!

Well I’m single and living in a share house. So won’t be the case for me. :)

I hope the rest of the family like the 1kg cheeses they’re going to get in their xmas stockings !!!

Not bad. Just in time to stock some cheese at home. Thanks.

You have to purchase 4 x 1kg blocks to claim! Not just one block as per the post, check the t &c’s

excellent deal !!! :)

Aww crap - sorry guys. Will change title.

4KG’s of cheese? I think I’m up to the challenge.

just pop the cheese in the freezer - it keeps fine

may loose a little texture - but not taste

one point though - my coles is seeling 1kg of cheese for $7.50 - rather than $10 ish at the participating store

Any time you can get Colby cheese for $10 or less (1KG lots) is good value I think. I know the Kraft Colby sells at one of the supermarkets for a regular price of $8.50-$9.00 but I don’t think it tastes as good at Mainland. The supermarkets are starting to introduce their own brands but even still I think their Colby brands sell in excess of $10 for a 1KG. For some reason Colby cheese seems to be pricey compared to some other cheddar varieties. My kids only eat Colby - no discussions can be entered into. I’ve even tried tricking them into eating other cheddars - no show (strangely though, they will eat fetta- go figure).

i remember just 4 years ago when mainland went on sale every second week for $6 for 1kg blocks. those were the days

Say cheese!

What is the shelf life of these 1kg blocks, assuming they remain vacuum sealed?

I dont know I people support this kind of activity, but…..you could just buy the four cheeses, obtain the reciept, then have them refunded later that day/next day. Or exchange them for other items. Advice from the devil.

But then the supermarket will take the receipts off you when you return the cheese, or they will cross the cheese off the list if you’ve got other purchases on the same receipt.

4kg of cheese is way too much, can you say “heart attack”. Pass.

I’m pretty sure they accept photocopies. I don’t have the promo docket at the moment but I’m sure it said photocopies are okay.

Nah. I’ve worked on coles checkouts in the past doing refunds. Cashiers dont take receipts off you, and rarely bother crossing things off. You can exchange items without having the reciept too.

I thought they only allow exchange without receipt for items of low value, like a few dollars, nothing over $10, let alone ~$40 worth of cheese.

Anyway, thanks for the tip.

Went to the website, can’t find the deal anywhere. Where to look?
