  • waiting for Amazon price match

  • is that the lowest they have ever been ? or do they go half price occasionally as well ?

    • +7

      No where near the lowest they have ever been, chocolate has increased in price dramatically, but it's the lowest they go nowadays. No half price specials.

      Past deals for comparison.

        $4.80 only 14 months ago

        So sad…

        • +21

          Not sad … ridiculous, actually.

          The price of cocoa has definitely risen dramatically but the gouging price rises that we see now can't be put down just to the rise in cocoa price. Me smells opportunistic profiteering. Can't wait to see the price drop when cocoa prices return to somewhat lower levels. And oh look, there's a squadron of flying pigs!

          I've been hitting up Aldi. They have a peanut butter variety which is good but $5.

          • @Caped Baldy: Is it the choceur brand you're talking about?

          • +1

            @Caped Baldy: +1 for Aldi Choceur Peanut Butter - insanely good for the price.

            • -1

              @ajr5k: Cool I might give it a whirl. I love Whittakers but their peanut butter chocolate was crap - I ate a few lines before chucking it.

          • @Caped Baldy: Aldi chocolate has gone up a fair bit too. Used to be like $3.70 for a block of Moser Roth just recently. Now it's $5

            • +1

              @OzBarAnon: The actual impact of rising cocoa prices. And yet, the Big Two are trying to sell you a block of Cadbury Oily Sugar Block for $8 a pop.

            • @OzBarAnon: Yeah, Aldi is still cheaper than the alternatives and better quality imo. Agreed, it is annoying about the price increase but I still want my chocolate hahaha.

    • $5.31 if you have the Woolies 10% off monthly shop. That matches the May price at BigW (before they canned their 10% off)

      Best bang for your buck in the chocolates world & the taste is amazement!
      Much better than Lindt & Haighs IMO.

      • Much better than Lindt & Haighs IMO.

        Really…

        • +8

          Yes, Whittaker's is solid

        • +3

          Better than Lindt without question. Haighs is close, but obviously more expensive

        • -7

          No way!

          Whittaker’s is decent but not in the same league as Lindt. IMO

          • +8

            @The Araldited Wallet: Lindt is too sweet

            • +2

              @andrew229: Agree… in fact it's obscenely overrated chocolate.

              • +1

                @FXx: The bigger the box and the smaller the chocolates in between, the better tasting right?….

                RIGHT?? /s

                Whittakers forever

                • @dbmitch: Lindt marketing is all about presentation, what's within the wrapper is dog $hit.

          • +1

            @The Araldited Wallet: Lindt is rubbish

        • @smartazz104 in response to your question… Yes.

  • +3

    Shame Woolies don't stock the Rum & Raisin variant. Big W does but they seem to only do 20% off.

    • +1

      Same for Berry Forest, my favourite but so hard to find!

      • +2

        Berry and biscuit is better, but not available in Australia. The Berry Forest has too much chewy gummies in it, gets stuck on the teeth and gums.

        • berry and biscuit sounds amazing… agree on the gummies in forest.

  • +6

    This is how cadbury used to be! So good!

    • +12

      Good luck getting this anytime soon for $3, if ever.

    • +12

      I rarely pay more than $3 per block.

      You haven't bought a block in 2 years have you…

    • +3

      Really?
      Do tell, hasn't been $3 for 2 years.

      • +5

        Dollar cost averaging and five finger discount.

    • Check if the brand of choc you buying is Wonka or Whittakers

    • Even in NZ we paid $5-$6 a block…

  • +1

    Thank you.

  • +2

    Best chocolate, hands down!

  • YESSS!!!!

  • +3

    Hazella is 👌

    Like Guylian but not shit lol

    • smaller size

    • +7

      Cadbury 180g ($2.22/100g) vs Whittaker's 250g ($2.36/100g)
      but:
      27% Cocoa Solids vs 33% Cocoa Solids
      24% Milk powder vs 30% Milk Powder
      55.8% Sugar vs 44.7% Sugar

      (Comparison for plain milk choc flavour)

      • Cadbury is about 2-3% more expensive for the non plain choc flavours, which I prefer over Whittakers varieties

      Yeah but Cadbury, they aren't worth $2.

    • Gross.

    I miss the dark mint chocolate …I have to order from NZ to get it

  • +1

    Try HAZELA variety.. its a game changer

  • +1

    Whatever happened to the Coconut x Mango variety….

    • +1

      Not enough interest and no longer bringing into Aus 😭

  • +1

    It hit $3.50 4 years ago.
    (the price creep started shortly thereafter)

    • That's like 50 cents in today's dollars

      • The calc goes the other way, but yeah.

  • -1

    Yeah, nah. Not a single cruelty free variety 🤮

  • Worth noting that their dark rum n raisin and dark almond are vegan tho.
