If it comes with a rat that's even luckier!
I hope you get your CNY wish!
Mine is to find keys to a luxury car😉 Saw so many of those in China.
LoL New Year Tin
what's the unit price? compared to oreos in normal packaging?
Plot twist - These aren't an attempt at diverse marketing but are just parallel imported from China for cheap and they're selling them at a huge profit.
Dons on tin foil hat
Woolies state these are product of China.
I've certainly eaten more in my stays in China than I've ever eaten here - mainly because they are cheaper there.
parallel imported from China for cheap??
Hardly a parallel import, but a specialty line. The normal Oreo stock sold by Woolies is product of Indonesia.
Cheaper/100g for us to buy those in the packet.
Would've been better for $8.88 for 888g rather than 388g. How is 388g lucky…
Maybe the tin weighs 500g😉
Wtf is this.
As a Chinese person, I can't help but feel this is a total scam. We don't eat Oreos for Chinese New Year.
They even priced it at $8.88, What. The. F***.
Oreo pushing big in China and CNY has been a big part of their marketing strategy for the last 5 years

I certainly eat more Oreos every year in China than I do here!
(EDIT: because they have a crazy range of flavours)
Interesting business strategy!
100 years ago, Santa use to be green but Coca Cola started promotions that turned him red.
In Japan, people buy KFC for their Christmas dinner.
Why do we consume so much chocolate at Easter?
We don't eat Oreos for Chinese New Year.
It's marketed as a gift for giving at CNY. Much cheaper to buy Oreos in packets if you want them.
You don't need to forgo your traditional foods! Why would you want to do that?
It's produced in & imported from China.
Don't worry - available dearer elsewhere - if you object to paying the reduced price of $8.88😉
But it doesn't seem you will be falling for this marketing.
Don't blame Woolies, they are just taking advantage of how superstitious the Chinese are
Each year, there is an enormous amount of marketing around CNY, usually using 8 in the price or discount. CNY Deals
First time I remember a complaint about a CNY price reduction!!
Contact Woolies if you find their pricing culturally objectionable.
Does your grandma stash her cash / jewellery in tin ?
Only if its a Royal Dansk one ;)
Woolies Normal price for Oreos is $1.09/100g. These are $2.29/100g.
Paying for limited edition is my best guess
Paying for specialty tin.
Biscuits don't seem to be limited edition. Both are imported from Indonesia / China.Capitalism!
Should have done a discount on baby formula then these scammers would be happier
Made in China
Stopped reading this deal further & exit in haste
As pointed out a few times & stated by Woolies!
Usual stock in Woolies is from Indonesia.
I've eaten Oreos in China. Were quite Yummy😋The Indonesia ones are better though as they’re vegan. The ingredient that makes them not vegan isn’t Halal. It’s possible to get Chinese halal ones, but it isn’t guaranteed like the Indo ones.
Last ones I ate - were in China years ago.
New style sewing kit tin
I might by it if it were priced at $4.44.
This is very overpriced as you can get 3 packs for $4.50 and it contains 23gm extra. Your basically paying for the tin.
4 means death in chinese, so no luck at all, better priced at 88c.
they shoulda done 2 for 8.88
Your basically paying for the tin.
That's what the Deal is primarily about - Lucky Oreo Lunar New Year Tin, as shown in Title!
Not how to buy cheap Oreos.
So not a valid Neg.Much cheaper to buy Oreos by the packet, as already discussed.
You're getting negged for pointing out a cheaper product and people are justifying it because of a chinese superstition that 4 = death (四＝死), tbh that's ridiculous.
It's not a cheaper product!
This Deal is specifically for the Oreos in a "special" CNY tin. That's the Deal Title.A Neg for pricing is not valid when comparing price of dissimilar products (in "special" CNY tin, or in packet).
This is not a Deal on price of Oreos.
No one should buy this tin, rather than packets, thinking they'll get cheaper Oreos!If people don't want the tin, this Deal is not for them.
That is no valid basis for Neg Vote.
Yes exactly are are paying for the tin.. Thats the entire point a collectable tin or whatever..?
one day, they'll sell fresh Durian for $8.88 each
Normal stock in Australian stores is from Indonesia, not China.
This is a special more expensive import for CNY, from China.
Not a valid reason for a Neg by voting guidelines.
omg the tinned oreo are so expensive! No deal for me : (
Giving this as a gift may look a bit foo cheap….Would rather to give a $15 Lindor Chocolate tin. 😂
Should have made it 888g.
$5 in my local Woolies today.
in before somebody says "luck is a not bargain" or "Ozbargain not Ozluck".
