omg omg omg, i bet they expire the day after tomorrow.
still, good price!
I bet they're already expired if they're being sold by the box.
Snickers don't have an expiry date
It’s all that Natural Preservative
Best before. You might not get the shits but The chocolate turns grey and loses its flavor
These are already like that and they're not even past the date.
One store in NSW and it's next to the boarder of SA……
Road trip
What makes it more interesting is that it's more "convenient" for a Sydney-sider to go to any store in Victoria. If one considers a full day return trip for a box of chocolates as convenient…
That's gotta be Broken Hill. It's basically SA in all but name.
Hope they have reasonable stocks at the stores .
I also have a barcode to take an extra 10% off sale items. I’m not sure how to add an extra photo. ? Can anyone help me.
Can you add it to the description?
Is this from signing up?
Gonna pick up 2 boxes.
Pre-gym snack sorted for the next few months.
Snickers pre gym what for post gym panic?
Those random days you don't feel up to it.
There are snickers protein bars which I'd imagine are slightly better for a pre-gym snack. Slightly.
But that's a slippery slope that leads to justifying things like 24 mcnuggets for $10 as a cheap protein meal
Oh there's definitely better choices. I don't do supps and usually just rock up with a bottle of water.
This is too good to pass up though.
Basically I need a reason to justify having boxes of Snickers in the pantry, even if it's paper-thin.
I get you, I was mainly poking fun. In my opinion, the behaviour of going to the gym is more important than what it takes to get you there.
That being said, if the expiry on these are short, maybe just get one box so you're not pressured to eat them all in the next few months.
96 snickers bars are like…24,000ish calories that would take around 50 hours of cardio to negate
@spaceflight: I gave you a + because I'm guessing that's probably true. I'd bet they have a 'best before' dateand not a 'use by' date, and they're probably pretty fine for a couple of years after the 'best before' date. Let your risk of diabetic drama decide!
@Fappo: Thanks.
A lot of people don't understand the difference between best before and use by and a lot of food ends up in the bin because of it.
Best before is a date that the manufacturer selects that means the food is the same as their standard.
For chips and biscuits this might mean they are at a certain crunch level.
Foods could actually improve after a best before date, but the improvement is not how the products are supposed to be.Use by is when there is a health impact.
For example when the level of microbial activity in milk can make you sick.This only applies to food.
For medicine it's how long the manufacturer tested the shelf life for them to be effective.
After the expiry date the effectiveness might be reduced but it is very unlikely you will have adverse effects. For example your 4 year old Panadol tablets might only give you 400mg of paracetamol instead of 500mg.
@spaceflight: I think part of the confusion is due to the lack of a popular, succinct past tense word (like expired) for food that has lost anticipated taste and texture, let alone passed the "best before date". In terms of adjectives with a sister verb, stale is the closest contender, but "staled" isn't used in this context. It also has a strong contextual affiliation with starchy foods, and in its literal interpretation can still be an intentional and anticipated quality (e.g. croutons).
As someone that eats other people's abandoned foods, I can safely proclaim that Snickers and other Cadbury milk chocolates will lose flavour and texture to the point some will find them unpalatable. We're not talking white fat blooms and sugar blooms but leathery, tasteless bricks. My standards are very low so another person's inedible would still be "food" to me.
When calories are readily accessible, the realistic limits of willingness to consume de-flavoured chocolate is "I'm not getting fat on that".
@Fappo: Chocolate doesn't have a great shelf life. Even less when combined with nougat and things like nuts and fruit.
Shouldn’t that be wafer-thin?
apparently andy ruiz always has a snickers bar before a fight
so maybe you too can become heavyweight boxing champion? or at the worst…. a heavyweight :)
hey don't knock my nuggets…
Thanks, that's dinner sorted for the next month!
Snickers still pulling that "temporarily" made in China bullshit?
Yep… Same with Twix in Egypt and Bounty in the Netherlands
Skittles are now Chinese too
bounty in the Netherlands?….
bounty quality went up 1000 fold.r they also saving money by makeing chomp bars in the louvre, france
If Bounty bars are not made from fresh coconuts on a tropical island I certainly won't be buying. Not that I've bought a Bounty bar for decades anyway. But still.
What’s the world coming too , I don’t buy any food from that country . Reason so polluted .
I googled and confirmed it .
I understand why overstocked now just like after Easter last eggs standing all store are tons of Chinese made Easter Eggs .
It may sound xenophobic, but in reality… Have you ever wondered why so many Chinese people buy so much baby formula in our supermarkets? Even mainland Chinese people don't trust their own produce.
@Fappo: fyi its not that they dont trust their own produce - its that there is a burgeoning middle class that can afford to buy foreign products.
what about belgian chocolate? are you some kind of monster if you only eat that vs Australian chocolate?
the chinese economy is booming and they can afford to buy heaps of exported products now which is putting a strain on production capacity.
Secondly the issue with the personal shoppers is that there is a trust issue in the supply chain.
Its not uncommon for an unscrupulous company to open up shop overseas and claim to have foreign products stocked only to find out later that its just fake relabeled packaging. This is why wealthy shoppers prefer to have their foreign products shipped directly person to person. The buyer in china can afford to pay shipping and profits to the shopper here so its a win win situation for the 2 parties.I do agree though there may be an issue of chinese made food products but its not based on anything more than price rather than quality.
eg. chinese food products can be very good if a company wants to spend the money. However 99% of the reason for moving to china is to save money and it shows.
They've been told to use the cheapest/worst ingredients which no doubt causes a drop in quality. Not enough to be scared for your health but just dissapointed enough not to buy it again because it doesnt taste/work as well as before.@voter1: I agree that great quality produce and products come from China, but it seems like there are still major issues with fakes, scammers, and sub-par (or sometimes non-existant) quality assurance over there. I'm admittedly not that knowledgeable on the topic though and am mainly going by stuff I've seen on the ADVChina and SerpentZA YouTube channels.
For ~20 cents a bar, who cares?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY HEALTH!
wth. I didn't even realise. Checked the snack size Snickers in my fridge… made in China. out they go.
Why?
Gotta get rid of them before they buy up all the fridge shelf space.
Have a guess? I don't want to eat dairy products made in China.
@redpen: So because daigou are buying milk powder to export it means that Chinese milk is unsafe? That's hard logic to understand.
You don't even know if the milk powder in the chocolate is Chinese or imported.The Chinese milk scandal happened in 2008. Do you think nothing has been done since then?
Do you think that for the last 10 years governments and companies have allowed milk and infant formula to be adulterated with melamine.
Do you not think they are now testing for it?@spaceflight: then why are they still pillaging the supermarket shelves! edit: not replying anymore either… you're free to buy all the Chinese Snickers you want.
@redpen: For the same reason you wasted yours by throwing it in the bin. For the same reason people think vaccines give autism. For the same reason people think chemtrails are real.
They're stuck to a belief or scared of something they don't know anything about.Plus Australian products are seen as "better" in China (just like we see some imported products as better than Australian ones). That happens for things like vitamins in China too.
@spaceflight: take a flight to china and then ride one of the trains through the countryside
see how they grow their food and the conditions of factories and air quality
then come back here and say you'll eat food that has come from China - whether grown there or not!
@00: I travel through China regularly.
I don't take food from Australia with me.
I eat the food when I am there.
I'll eat Chinese made food when I'm in Australia.@00: You have got to be joking. I've been to China many times and their food production is absolutely fine. And do you know how much of the food worldwide is from or passed through China? Chances are many of the things you eat contain ingredients from China. So ignorant it's not funny
@[Deactivated]: seen it with my own eyes. You don’t need to try very hard to find multiple references to widespread soil contamination and how it is being addressed

Do you think nothing has been done since then?
I think plenty has been done since then… they got away with, and which we haven't heard about. ;-D
Better throw that iphone out…
i hope u don't eat iPhones??
You have to buy the 2 pack king size for made in Australia Snickers.
That's dinner sorted for a week. Just need to deep fry them.
YEARS SUPPLY OF SNICKERS FOR UNDER $80!
This Financial Year maybe.
My pancreas just cringed
Mars Bars are better than Snickers. Change my mind
That's easy when you have a peanut allergy
Mars bars are now Moon bars (since the Moon is part of Mars)
Easy…Mars contains nougat and caramel covered in chocolate.
Snickers contains nougat, caramel AND PEANUTS!! covered in chocolate.
Extra ingredient means extra better!!Of course they are but where are you going to find a box of Mars bars for even half this price?
Wtf is Cheap As Chips
Lord give me strength…
STRENGTH be yours
So where is this deal happening ?
SA, VIC, NSW at Cheap as Chips
Expiry 19/08/19 on boxes Mount Barker SA, they were $15 a box yesterday (Mon), bought a box along with $100 worth of Maynards wine gums 😀😀
Expiry 19/08/19
Check again, they don't expire
What do you think the date stamped on them is? You think they were manufactured on that date and sent back in time?
I know what the date is, you have no idea what it is.
If you read it you will learn something new.
You would see it says 'best before' and that is different to an expiry date.you have no idea what it is.
Worked in a convenience store for long enough to see what changes occur in chocolate bars that sit around on shelves too long. They won't poison you like half-cooked food but fermented chocolate tastes even worse than it looks.
This deal is nuts
Perhaps there is something wrong with their latest batches because NQR is selling 24 pack Snickers boxes for $8 each.
Sheet self fulfilling prophecy this sheet hard to move just like Chinese Easter eggs LOL .
Next Amazon can join the Snicker overstocked party .
I hope Amazon does! :)
that's a BIG BOX
thats what he said..
Wow just wow
I wouldn't buy them (SNICKERS) at $5. They are CHINESE and are not the same as Australian made.
I have not purchased Snickers in 4 weeks, i have nearly kicked the habit. This is coming from someone who would eat a 12 snack pack per day everyday.
The ones from Coles are now Chinese made too, cant taste any difference but yea it sucks…
Probably a good thing then!
Will be boycotting Snickers also after knowing made in China. When did this happen? Will be converting to Picnic now.
You would be amazed at how many of your favorite Choc bars are now produced off shore. It is not just Mars but Mondelez and Nestle too.
Is throwing them at random people and saying "you're not you when you're hungry" then running away, socially acceptable?
… I might need to get a box
Do it at a uni :) They love free anything edible
I'm happy for you to throw a box full my way.
The taste difference is definitely there. I ate half a one and went straight to the label - Made in China. The peanuts tasted raw not roasted, the chocolate is waxy and the packaging is crinklier. No deal Mars. It isn't just me not liking Chinese products either - it seriously wasn't worth eating. And the Bountys - made in Netherlands? Give me strength, how many coconut trees in the Low Countries? Chococlate bars are cancelled - except for Peppermint Crisp, she is what molars were made for.
