A good one that will be appreciated by the Mrs. Ozbargainers. Managed to get $50 off my first delivery order and free delivery. All I did was follow the steps below
Works for me whos in qld, so I assume it works for other states? Best to confirm before putting your order in
Appears to. I ordered some cider and only had to put DOB
Sweet! They have some decent craft beer!
Qld Liquor Licencing law prohibits sale of alcohol by supermarkets^ like HF.
So, while the order may have been accepted (without checking location), they shouldn't be able to sell the alcohol.
Distributed from the Brisbane warehouse - which should have no alcohol in stock.
Expect a refund on alcohol purchased, same as out of stock items.
(But discount may still be honoured! Have done similar at HF to pad out purchase amount to qualify for discount + free delivery.)
(^Some small Asian supermarkets do sell imported alcohol in store in Qld… as long as it only makes up small part of the purchase amount.)
Let us know if the cider ends up arriving and if this has any impact on the discount.
Hey OP did they deliver the alcohol?
Did you receive the alcohol in your order?
Identifies as Mr.
Also buys groceries.
Just in time for CNY celebrations

Nice deal, but I’m pretty sure Mr OzBargainers also eat
Can confirm this…
Title should include [MELB] - for online order.
Assume the MELB50 code is to promote:
"Harris Farm Markets - Now Delivering To Melbourne" (have been for a while, despite no stores there)
QLD promotion code was active early last year, when establishing there.
Isn't it still active? At least I used BRISSIE50 or BRIS50 a couple of weeks ago successfully.
I went back and checked. It's BRISSIE50 that I used. Also it seems that you can just make a new account and you are a 'new' user.
@werdplaya58: Assume thays $200 min order?
There's also NEW10 code ($10)..
Signing up a new account per code might work!
@INFIDEL: Yep it's the same conditions as this deal, $200 min. Yeah doesn't seem like they check that it's a new delivery address etc. For new accounts which is a bit odd!
How do people manage to buy $200 from HF in one go?
We go regularly and the most we've ever spent is < $50 (and that would be many trays of deeply discounted berries, etc. that are frozen); but then again we pretty much only buy fresh plant based produce.
I was going to ask the same but reading the comments, it seems they sell alcohol which probably helps reach that minimum. I can’t imagine how anyone other than a very large family would be able to hit $200 in fresh fruit and veg in a single order otherwise!
Harris Farm is literally the most expensive supermarket. My uncle will literally just spend $50 on different cheeses. How do you keep your bill under $200?
By only buying what is on special!

Smoked salmon, trays of fruit, etc are perennial cheaper offers.
most expensive supermarket
Correct. If you look at stores on the map in NSW, they are all located above the latte line - North Shore and Eastern Suburbs, Inner West. They target customers who can afford it.
You need to buy specials each week from your local store (can be different to other stores) - e.g. watermelon $1.25/kg & broc $3.99/kg this week from my local; and bulk fruit items and some discounted items still good but typical snobbish customer won't touch.
I'd hate to be around when uncle cuts that cheese!
Not everyone is single and buys only reduced to clear.
The deeply discounted trays of berries are due to when there's a lot of rain; they are no different to single punnets that out of season could cost as much.
I'm talking about a family that eats mostly plant based.
You can’t survive on discounted berries… you’ll have health problems.
I'm interested to see a deeper breakdown on this if you have the time.
We eat a meat heavy diet so it's a lot different, I get that cost difference.
Is there any chance of getting you to post a realistic breakdown of weekly food costs on a plant based diet, as it sounds like $50 a week pretty much covers you completely, which if the case is something I need to look at!
@scatman00: As a lapsed vegetarian… I did it on mainly economic grounds (uni student). It was a cheaper source of food. And required less resources (off grid with little or no refrigeration).
But returned to a more "conventional" diet after 8 years. Found it took time to manage some nutrients needed for health. And by then had more $ & less free time! It can take some planning, especially when travelling overseas.
The economics of a different diets should be available by searching.
Depends on family size, ages, needs etc.
@scatman00: Food costs as much as you want it too. I've been vegetarian and you can easily keep to to under $50 a week (Or probably even less) for a single person. But you will need to preplan purchases and also take the time to learn to make plant diet taste good and varied. It also takes time to make sure you are getting enough nutrition.
Learn to make meals around lentils, chickpeas, beans, quinoa, nuts as main source of protein and build around that. I would buy large bags of these when they go on sale and then just add fresh veg, fruit, tofu, eggs, cheese as needed.
Having said that being veg does not mean it will automatically be cheap. Harris Farm has lots of tasty things which are plant based like fancy vinegars and olive oils and weird looking veg which can easily double or triple your weekly grocery costs. Volume might also be an issue, obviously if you simply need to eat more your costs will be higher. The only way to know is just to try it for awhile.
@scatman00: To get the cheapest fresh fruit and veg; I shop in season at up to 8 different stores around us; also with fruit and veg, you can't buy a week's worth in one go unless you can freeze it or it's dired like legumes. I only usually buy ~$10 at each visit.
The $50 would cover me; not the rest of the family, who eat some meat and eggs and a bit of diary.
For a wholefood plant based diet: lots of legumes, whole grains (e.g. oats), nuts and seeds, sweet potatoes => plant based source and carbs, lots of veg and fruits, B12 supplement, DHA supplement; these are from many retailers:
PS: I live in an affluent area; I'm eating a whole food plant based diet for health a low footprint reasons. It also happens to be cheap.
Likely the carnivores & alcohol drinkers have a better chance of $200+ order.
Consider stocking up on frozen products, expensive cheeses, etc.
My largest HF online order was $80.
As no alcohol in QLD orders, won't make $200.
I managed to get over $100 a couple of times years ago with Amex incentives - by buying ~30 bags of dried beans that lasted a year.
Yes, dried beans etc are a possibility - but usually not that expensive. Heavy, so handy to order for delivery!
My past larger orders were only to qualify for discount + free delivery.
Knowing what can't be delivered / out of stock, & ordering it has qualified in the past for discounts + free delivery. Then receive a refund😉
"the most we've ever spent is < $50"
Please pick one.
@scatman00: Current in store < $50; past online trying to maximise incentives & free delivery > $100 (but just over)
@scatman00: … As stated, current spend pattern in store vs past order history (less AMEX discount).
HF order system pushes customers to increase order amount to qualify for discounts + free delivery. So orders may be larger than required at the time.
@scatman00: 810 comments since 2008 - you've got to try harder😉
Surprised I'm in top 10 commenters! All done on phone.
We were both discussing the claim of <$50 spend above. Can't see why you see it as an issue. We all make minor errors!
One is current spend instore, larger amount was online in the past (less AMEX discount).
My online orders were higher than I'd spend instore - to take advantage of promotion & free delivery. So won't be taking up this promotion.
@scatman00: 2022 New years resolution - to stop posting comments. Already broken🙄
2019 resolution was to stop posting Deals - much easier to keep, but broken last year😉
We all have our strengths (& weaknesses).
Very easily! They have a huge deli cheese/meats selection and various artisanal condiments and pantry items. Just have a cheese and charcuterie night with some fancy quince and honeycomb and you'll easily hit $200.
You sound like their target customer :) Their business has risen in value tremendously with the lockdown; they got big offers from PE but turned them down.
Damn, just did my weekly shopping yesterday.
Try next week - the offers usually last a while.
You can schedule delivery in the future
I shop regularly at HFM, mostly for fruit and veg, and the online prices are considerably more expensive than in store. $12 for a cauliflower, $15/kg for mushrooms??
The price gap wasn't as much before and there were specials. The HF brothers have gotten much wealthier as a result of the lockdown and wealthy/older people not wanting to go into stores during these times; we'll see if these customers change their buying habits when things improve.
wanted to give a try, then saw the price guess will pass
watermelon 9KG $26.91 each, Coles 8KG $16.00 each.
Blackberries 125G $5.99, Coles 125G $3.00
Blueberries 125G $5.99, Coles 125G $4.00
Their watermelons are $1.25/kg in store in my local this week (Aldi $1.49 recently); the kids haven't had it for a while so bought 3 so far.
Doesn't work for gift cards.
I took advantage of this over the weekend and got a delivery this morning. I’ve never purchased from Harris Farm Online before, I have been to one of their stores years ago. I have to say, I am very impressed. I expected a delivery similar to coles. But it’s not even comparable. The produce is so fresh.The greens are crisp and not wilted and sad looking, No bruised fruit. The biggest bunch of bananas i’ve ever seen. I’m just blown away.
Even if it does cost more, I’d pay. I won’t have to chuck it out after a day or two. Thanks for posting this deal OP
My thoughts too. So good. And came just as the cupboard became bare. Was able to stock up well and beautiful quality produce. Got a mixed fruit and veg box so now planning meals around it to avoid wastage. But super fresh so not too concerned. Thanks OP.
😍
one more thing, it wasn’t late. It was actually early!
