Sanitarium Weet-bix 575gm is back to its low price of $1.81 at Coles. Seems like this is the lowest price per 100gm - $0.31. Retail limit 6 per person.

Not a deal anymore - Uncle Tobys Vita Brits - 1kg on special $2.30 ($0.23 per 100G) @ Coles
Dammit, I just bought a box on Monday… :(
Sanitarium dont pay taxes because they are a 'religious institution'. Dont buy their shit imo.

So it's OK to buy stuff where the money goes to multi-millionaires, but not OK to buy stuff from companies where the money goes to charity?
Sure, buy Vita Brits instead and support Nestlé, they are a much more 'moral' company, right ??? :\

If they are taxed I dont care.

It goes to the church. Then to charity. How much? Who knows.
hmm i missed your point. don't buy from sanitarium because of what?
A. money isn't getting taxed?
B. money is going to a religious institution?
C. money is going to a charity?
D. you don't know how much goes to charity and how much is spent on admin?A
The other points add context.
Let me rephrase: A because B in the name of C. They compete in a commercial sector with an unfair advantage of what I feel to be dubious origins, and its subsidised by taxpayers.
but not OK to buy stuff from companies where the money goes to charity
I guess we should close down all the Salvos stores then.
@embler: It does give them an advantage, but unfair? in what way? any advantage that leads to more profit/cash generated (because they don't pay company tax) allows more to flow into their "charitable" work. Compared to Nestle which was mentioned above - I'd assume any advantage they receive would mean more flows back to their head entity (and shareholders) overseas. i question whether it is unfair because they run different races i.e. Nestle exists to increase shareholder value. Sanitarium exists to promote healthy eating (possibly oversimplified, but that was my takeaway from their mission statement).
If you are i think proposing that charities should not have income tax-free businesses to sustain their charitable works, then how should charities make money to sustain their charitable works? ask the government directly for a handout (which many charities already do)? or run a business, employ people, buy produce and support their local economies, and be a beneficiary of government support via company tax exemption?
They can do exactly as they are doing, and be taxed. Just because they are taxed doesnt mean they dont exist, it means that we dont have to subsidise their business.
You don't actually buy their shit.
You buy the Weet-Bix, and then put some effort…

Cheaper than the 1.4KG box by 1c/100g. Benefit of being able to keep in the pantry unopened is a bonus!
