Homework Sex Pop-tarts?
Halal Snack Pack. Also known as an "AB". Chips, kebab meat, sauce.
Oh, like an open yiros
AB?? We used to call this meal 'the dog' in uni..
These are nice. We use them as our main set. 18/10 set but I don't believe the knives are. We can't put the knives in the dishwasher without them going rusty.
Seriously? That’s good to know!
The little grooves at the end of the knives started to go ever so slightly and we tried a few different things to minimise the risk but they still started to change. We just ended up hand washing the knives.
The rest of the set has no issues. They have 18/10 marked on the back on each piece. The knives do not have the same marking so I'm guessing they aren't.
Thanks for the details! That’s a pity!
+1 have experienced the exact same with this set
Have this set. Still put it in dishwasher for what it’s worth. Haven’t noticed much rusting
From memory it’s because they said they use a different metal so the knifes remain sharp… who knows. Probably marketing bs.
I've read that a lot. Even Choice magazine note the same thing and suggest not putting knives in the dishwasher.
Will confirm. Rust spot on knives. Still like the set. Hand wash everything now since dishwasher died. :P
Condolences for the loss of your partner.
You had me at wang
Don't forget to use code "VIP10" for an extra 10% off
I heard that VIP10 gives some kind of discount, not sure how much…
/s
Ouch, so this is their normal price isnt it
Oh my goodness, what a crock!
Thanks for letting us know!
Did you mean what a brunch of CROCKery?
Yes, Dad. 🙄
So much for Black Friday
This deal has 77 upvotes. I feel op should update to show this activity is a normal price at best, and has been much cheaper in the past.
Yeah I bought for $28.77 in February 2020. I guess COVID-flation has happened though. Didn't really like the handles with square corners so am using a Target set.
I bought two sets of these when they were $35 each. Been alright. The teaspoons had a rust mark after the first wash all in the same spot but they replaced most of them.
Gee, that would make Kmart better quality than Royal Doulton then?
Does anyone know how I might be able to get an extra 10% off?
😂
There is a code of sorts… But I can't recall what it is. Perhaps someone will post it
Username checks out
I think that's only for VIPs
My 3rd favorite Wang that I hold in my hands and polish.
1st = yours
2nd = your neighbours?
Went with 3rd as it was open far further to interpretation. 2nd favourite was just too safe. Talking bs.
Haha y'all are both good for a laugh. Enjoy the upvote.
After using nice cutlery and dinnerware I can never go back to cheap stuff.
Define "nice cutlery"
Dunno I guess. Stuff like this is nice I suppose. The weight is different. When you pick it up it just feels different. It's all part of the experience.
I'm sure if you went and got really nice food and you just put it on a cheap plate with cheap cutlery it wouldn't feel/taste the same. The mind is a strange thing.
@ozizoy: It's hard to explain and it really shouldn't make a difference but it just does (for us at least). We got some of the Chasseur La Cuisson Petit Espresso Cups and we've had espresso, even Vietnamese instant coffee in them and something about them made the experience feel so different.
Kinda felt silly buying them and my wife wasn't happy when they arrived in the mail. Just needed to use a voucher or something I think, but we really enjoy drinking out of them.
@ozbs25: With you entirely. Call it psychosomatic, placebo, better design, aliens from Mars honestly I don't care. Sometimes "nicer stuff" actually makes the experience nicer.
We got some of the Chasseur La Cuisson Petit Espresso Cups(amazon.com.au) and we've had espresso, even Vietnamese instant coffee in them and something about them made the experience feel so different.
Probably because espresso cups shouldn't have a handle and don't need to be 100ml as a shot of espresso is 30ml so the different experience is because you are using the wrong cup
I've been using my Nanna's old Silverware. Some silver mostly silver plated, bone handled etc. The Kmart stuff I bought feels as good or nicer.
Then don't be too comfortable in your life. It's a choice.
Get a load of this guy bragging about his wealth.
I'm still using my AVANTI 24 Piece Stainless Steel Hanging 24pc RED Cutlery Set 16722 I got for $1
I'm not bragging about wealth. Nothing wrong with trying to have some nice things. Sometimes paying a little for something nicer makes a big difference. We feel it makes a big difference and we didn't spend that much. It'll probably last our lifetime too.
ColdBrother wasn’t referring to you
@andresampras: Ahh. Sorry, got all defensive as I tend to do.
Point still stands. You don't know until you try and unfortunately it's hard to go back.
Damn I feel ripped off. Revoking my OzBargain Platinum Membership.
Might need to be sent to the penalty box too.
Chillbro
Can I say I've put a wang in my mouth now?
How dare you try to embarrass me in an open forum like that. So much for keeping it quiet. Blocked!
Don’t worry, the MPs all rave about the hummers you’ve been giving and the money that they save.
Anyone willing to pm me a 10% off code?
they are pretty good
I bought three at $35 each
good for self use and good house warming gift
Is this the same as "Vera Wang Wedgwood Chime 16 Piece Cutlery Set"?
I got this set (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/520352) 2 years ago and wondering if it will be matching.
Yes. Its the same one.
I have 2 sets. I think I paid around $39 each.
not historical low
I dont know its because of inflation or supply chain issues. But I paid way less than this price. I bought 3 sets at that time. :)
Could be. We've bought a lot of stuff from Royal Doulton over the years and I swear we paid less for most of it. We've certainly taken advantage of timely 30% off everything sales both online and in-store but I'm really sure the RRP has gone up (sometimes quite a lot) for a lot of stuff.
Mahman
$299 retail?
Yeah with all these Royal Doulton outlet stuff I always wonder if anyone paid the retail price for them.
Wang's fav footballer is S Kerr
Not Mr Kerr, first name Wayne?
VIP20 will not give you a further 20% off
Ozb cutlery of choice
You mean OzB Wang of choice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
DO THEY TASTE LIKE A WEDDING DRESS?
Any reasons why the fork and and spoon don't have the same length? It looks like the spoon is shorter.
It says it's a dessert spoon, as opposed to a dinner knife and dinner fork
But then, why not dinner fork and dinner spoon like in a set! Who uses only fork to eat !?
Heard rumour of extra 10% off, how?
Iinflation is a killer!
So much so I went and checked how many of the last 2 sets I ordered were still in the drawer.
8 x Spoons
6 x Knives
7 x Forks
Do I pull the trigger? Or has my wife secretly stolen those 2 x knives and 1 x fork to finish off my Ozbargain addiction once and for all.
Very heavy
can anyone share the 10% code please? thank you
I tried VIP10 but didn’t work. Literally got memed to death:(
Meh cheaper at Kmart
Rumour is that if you stand in front of a mirror at midnight and say "VIP10" three times you might get Ozbargained to death.
Use VIP10 to get a further 10% off.
