I apologise my fellow community. I am getting old. I was wrong, thank you for correcting me.
Wow, from 19 dollars to 50 dollars being a deal for the same product in 12 years, certainly more than the 2% inflation a year
To be fair it doesn't make sense to compare deal prices when calculating inflation. For example, what would it mean if someone sells the same olive oil for $18 tomorrow on special?
That being said, retail price is also 113% up from $30 to $65, so yeah, olive oil is expensive.
When there were production shortages in Europe due to drought, Australian producers used it as an excuse to extort us here.
- Olive oil is a global market, but…
- … that's supposed to explain why the prices of EVERYTHING went up?? 🤔
10.3 %annually exactly at normal price.
Petroleum is much more difficult to drill for, extract and then needs to be transported to be refined and transported to be sold to the end users and costs $1.60 a litre
This tastes a little better though
not if one were experiencing an oleaginous psychosis. will no one think of the oilers…
I don't know man, Valvoline tastes pretty good.
You know what I mean.
And maitenance costs
Honestly, not many people want black teeth after avocado Ceasar salad.
You're absolutely right mate, and don't get me started on the double standards.
Mention plans to lather the missus up with olive oil and you're told to keep it to yourself. But try Caltex 98 Clean & Glide™ with Techron and suddenly the ABC makes it everyone's business.
Better make sure the oil is VAG certified.
I just bought La Espanola Olive Oil 1L,currently at $13.00
with additional 700 flybuys points promotion.Spain vs Australian Olive Oil
Earth Olive Oil
What are the differences?
Buy Aussie, high chances of european ones being fake
https://www.vitalveda.com.au/learn/extra-virgin-olive-oil-fr…@ichoosethesteak: Its not the brand itself per se, its the fact that the European supply chain would involve the retailer ( coles, woolies) sourcing this from an aussie distributor , who sources it from their sources in Europe who might be sourcing it from another wholeseller and so on plus the transportation and logistics involved make it very susceptible that along the many cogs the oil could be substituted for fake ones , or at least very adulterated ones .
With cobram, at least the chances of being fake are much lesser than a product that has to come from thousands of miles away through multiple channels . there was an article recently that for the mafioso , food adulteration has become a top 3 income earner now.
Your money stays here for future generations of Aussies.
@00: That's fair enough, but people don't want to be ripped off just because they want to support australian producers.
@whyisave: Is there a law that dictates how make of a super funds investments must be in Australia? If not there should be
@Some Random Guy: All laws that favoured the population of a country, has slowly been eroded by outside-the-country vultures, and the wealth/value siphoned off, in the name of "free market".
Half price water wipes is the real deal of the week
Can you please link me that post? Thanks
No post. Just page 4 bottom right of catalogue that starts tomorrow
https://www.coles.com.au/catalogues/view#view=catalogue&sale…
Is it, tho?
420 biodegradable GAIA are $15 @ CW
400 Huggies thick wipes are $14 @ Big W
And 480 Little Ones are $11.50 @ WWs
And 480 Anko wipes are $8 @ Kmart!
- GAIA is the only one of those 4 I would get.
- Huggies are rough.
- Little ones sound like Woolworths home brand.
- Anko you must dislike your child
Given the post was about oil… Do you buy the cheapest you can find or care about quality?
Is it Diddy approved though?
best consumed within 4 weeks of opening
Mediterranean diet on steroids challenge accepted.
It's true, it'll quickly begin to lose carbonation once opened though you can keep it fizzy a little longer by resting a spoon in it.
Huh? A spoon? How?
There is no spoon!
3 litres barely last 2.5 weeks at our home. We use this on almost everything we eat, salad dressing, frying, sauteing, cakes etc.
I know olive oil is good for our health, but… "Cakes"?? 😳
Hot tip: use coconut oil for cakes and other sweet stuff. Pretty healthy too, and much more resilient to heat (bc it's saturated fat).
Cakes are good for you if they use the right oils, problem is who can eat cakes in moderation, always my downfall..

might wait until 1L ones are on special, single person household and like the idea of less oxygen in bottle as level drops, it’s a bit like storing opened bottles of wine that are 1/2 empty.
2025 harvests done in many parts of the country and considered "strong" yet amazingly prices haven't come down…
They have just decided to make more profit instead.
Looks like Olive Tree Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil Classic Flavour and Aldi Just Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil are still best bang for the buck (at $17/L Cobram still costs 67% more than Aldi's adjusted for rating):
Looks like you have old data (which also compared Aldi's EDLP vs Coles/WOW's Hi-Lo pricing at the high).
Aldi is $18/L or $50/3L.
https://www.aldi.com.au/product/the-olive-tree-australian-ex…
Yeah, I just took the data from that CHOICE report; I didn't update it (wow, it DOUBLED in price in 4 years??!).
@wisdomtooth: Can you pls check the data in your wiki page. Some people might give credence to form over substance. So while your table might look impressive, it's useless if the data is incorrect. E.g. Coles Aus EVOO is $18/L. I haven't checked anything else.
You don't seem to understand how EVOO pricing or major supermarket pricing works, otherwise you could do a reasonableness check. It's hard for a big Australian supplier to sell similar quality EVOO that's much cheaper for a home brand than their own brand.
Before COVID it was $25 !!!
What are some other prices of things before covid
99 cents/L petrol
Why just immediately before Covid? What was the price of things in the 1970s (technically still before Covid)
Bc COVID was the cover story for the largest money issuance, i.e. currency debasement, in human history!
Milk was $3 per 3 litre
Yeah, milk went up too, but there's a wiiiiide range of… "stuff" that gets called "milk".
Eggs a dozen were $3.50
Canned baby corn used to be $1 each. Was OOS for a while during COVID, and then returned at $1.80 and hasn't change since.
Wow that’s steep, I used to go out of my way for this on special around $30. Sticking with the ALDI 1 litre bottles now
https://statranker.org/economy/top-10-countries-in-olive-oil…
Considered there is now a 30% increase in global olive oil production, prices really should be a lot lower.Was about to ask if there was a supply shortage like what's currently happening with cocoa beans that driving up chocolate prices but there you go.
My favourite Greek oil 4L is 50 dollars.Much better than the cobram stuff and I get a litre extra.Prices are coming down, but as we all know, when they have to come down, it takes twice as long…
I bet you coffee and chocolate will never be at prices they once were!, when sanity and supply comes back.
Which? Where??
Do you actually consume 4L in a couple of months tho? (after that, you might as well drink cotton oil)
Who ever told you that olive oil only last 4 weeks is feeding you porkies. You store it correctly and it should last you 2 years if not more. For our family, a 4 litre tin will last from 1 to 2 months, depending on the season.
I would also be looking at the manufacture(bottling) date if it has one, because no one knows how the stuff was stored.
I just bought 20L of organic extra virgin olive oil from a friend's farm near mildura for 310 bucks. few years back, it was under 200 dollars.
To get the best oil get Extra virgin olive oil and the freshest packed you can. All others are over-processed and mixed with who knows what..That's my 2 cents on the subject.
Here's ChatGPT's 2c:
- 1–3 months: Optimal freshness and polyphenol content
- 3–6 months: Still usable but flavor and antioxidant potency decline
- >6 months: Risk of rancidity increases; test by smell/taste
@wisdomtooth: And what oil was that refering to? Put rubbish into Chatgpt and you get garbage out. I have seen similar said in some youtube channels too.
My experience, my parents experience(and they came from an oil producing country who had olive trees as well) is if you buy the first cold pressed extra virgin oil, the stuff lasts if you store it correctly(i.e not in the sun) and is the best tasting as well.Each to their own, we consume a lot of olive oil, and its has cost us a pretty penny over the past few years.
These days supermarkets have "olive oils" but know one knows whats blended in them, where the oil comes from etc etc.
Rarely do I buy oil from supermarkets, as my local delis offer a great choice of fresh, good-quality olive oils.
And what oil was that refering to?
Olive. Oil.
the stuff lasts if you store it correctly
That answer refers to once opened. Hence the concern with the bottle size (as opposed to, say, how much in total one buys at once).
…and what day is it today?
Deal posted 22hrs ago
It clearly states that the deal starts on Wednesday so not sure why you giving a negative vote. Today is Tuesday so are a day early.
@sharepoint: Where does it say so clearly that it starts on Wednesday ?
Deal was posted 23 hours ago clearly showing tomorrow which is today
Disappointing since it used to come in 4 litres
