Saw this at Chemist Warehouse Bondi Junction. Not sure if its available at other stores.
Its nationwide. Thanks to TA and toms.
Blackmores Fish Oil 1000mg 200capsules for $9.99 (Was RRP $21.99). Not sure what the usual price is for these.
There are other blackmores products as well on sale. please refer image attached.
And remember, put them in the fridge after opening.
straight away, not just after opening
also check that there is plenty of time until the expiry date
expiry date was around 2018 when I checked.
Really? Cannot find that instruction in box :(
fish oil contains omega-3, a polyunsaturated fat which is easily oxidised due to heat (storage, cooking, sunlight, etc). ditto for other pufa vegetable oils. consuming rancids oils is probably doing you no benefit. bottom line: don't leave your pufa oils sitting on the window sill or in a hot cupboard.
from https://www.choice.com.au/health-and-body/medicines-and-supp…
"Just like any other edible oil, omega-3 will oxidise over time – a process where oxygen in the air starts to decompose the oil causing it to become rancid – so store it in a cool, dark place and pay attention to the use-by date."
the first link i provided was to a report that found that the oxidation levels in many fish oil supplements, straight from the shops in nz & aus, were above the recommended limits (as well as not containing the advertised amount of omega-3)
I put half a pack in the fridge and the other half in the old pack outside the fridge.
That way the other half are fresh when I need them. If you put them all in the fridge they will absorb water (because they are cold) every time you open a big pack.
Surely?
Blackmores Fish Oil 1000mg 200capsules cheapest price is about $7-$8
Which store?

Why do they have to taste so bad :(

vs yours which is
3.3c per unit
chances are you won't be getting what you paid for http://www.nature.com/articles/srep07928/tables/1 (specifically epa + dha label vs actual), so it's all pretty academic :)
Can we trace that info back to a brand, or does that cover all brands of fish oil sold here?
It's not really enough of the right kind of info for the consumer.
I am not knocking the deal, but a word of caution. I was eating a lot of salmon, and taking the occasional fish oil capsule, and when I had a blood test I was found to have a very low platelet count. A specialist warned me off all seafood and related products, and he said "An Eskimo won't die of a heart attack, but if he spears himself in the foot, he will bleed to death." My platelet count has since gone back up.
My platelet count has since gone back up.
Wow, you're busy like a rabbit! Nice to see someone appreciate the curves of a real plate again.
I wonder if other species eat human oil.
This is a pretty normal price for the Blackmore's Fish oil - you can get the odourless Blackmore's fish oil 500 pack at CW for $27, which is $10.80/200 for the odourless which are normally quite a lot dearer.
It is just marketing BS - I cannot remember EVER seeing these for over $20/200 for standard fish oil.
Where is the fish oil made in?
It's a national offer…
These are 1/2 price quite often through Coles & Woolies as well.
