Whats up with The Price Hikes on Up&Go?

Just saw that Up&Go 12x packs are now $17.50. Up from $14.50, which is up from $12 only 18 months ago
45% price increase over 2 years?

And we are being told inflation is 5%……

    PS: the 6 Pack are half-price this week at Woolworths - $5.25

    If I recalled correctly, the 12 Pack were part of the 'Everyday Low Price' previously and has since been removed.

    • Great tip on the half price deal thankyou! will go and stock up

    • Six packs are $4.92 in Vic!

      • Due to the lack of CDS, which makes no sense since you can't recycle the Up&Go Carton…

        Edit: apparently the carton are eligible for CDS.

        • CDS started yesterday. Wonder if we’ll get a price rise in te next few weeks.

          • @jjjaar: Yup. Vic went up in line with everywhere else, and the price of the 6 pack also went up to $12! Nuts.

    do you realise you can eat real oats for $1.70/kg instead of this processed sh*t?

    • With enough liquid you might even be able to drink it from a reuseable drink bottle, yeah nah
      .

      • That's actually a really good idea.

    • I think it’s puréed weetbix with uht skim milk, sugar and soy protein.

      Yep. Do you realise that utilising some quick options can make people’s lives substantially easier? The protein ones have like 17g per serving. For people struggling to get protein in their diet, this can be a great addition.

      Do you also realise that many people just may skip a meal instead. If it’s this or not eating at all, I’d rather this.

    They need to raise interest rates more.

    I think they're secretly trying to encourage you to eat real food..

  • just tell the shop they mispriced it, inflation is only 5% so they can only charge that much extra. see what happens

    It's my usually breakfast post morning run or gym and I got it without looking and was wondering why my quick shop was so expensive lol

    17.50 for 12 coffee ones is so close to unjustifiable but the convenience wins. Is a good way to fill that coffee craving without the caffeine or overpriced coffees

    INGREDIENTS: Water, skim milk powder (8%), cereal flour (brown rice, oat), sweeteners (erythritol, steviol glycosides), vegetable oils (sunflower, canola), plant fibre, cocoa powder (0.5%), vegetable gums (460, 418, 466), soy protein, flavours, acidity regulator (potassium citrate), mineral (calcium), stabiliser (452), vitamins (C, B3, A, D2, B2, B1, B12, B6), salt.

    Sounds like mostly water?

    Time to get off this hamster wheel.

    • cup of tea costs 10c
      .

  • blend up some weetbix with chocoloate syrup and milk….

  • Sanitarium profiteering, company pays next to no tax as it's a religious charity owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church

  • And we are being told inflation is 5%

    Inflation is a lot more than that.
