Amazon is price matching Woolworths.
Unfortunately 5% Subscribe & Save has struck again.
As good as it gets these days sadly… <= $1/can
Any good bulk deals on Mentos ?
almost $1/can is a deal?
In 2025, yes unfortunately…..
Keep in mind that state and territory deposit return scheme charge manufactures between $0.15 to $0.20 per can.. People tend to be surprised that they get charged more than consumers receive when returning the cans, but there's lots of "ecofriendly" middle parties who want their pound of flesh and governments don't fund the scheme themselves.
Yep another shit house policy voted in by idiots.
We all already had recycling bins, we all used them, if for whatever reason they couldn't recycle the cans that went in the bin (wtf have they been doing the last 50 years) then they should have just upgraded the recycling facilities rather than introduced another inefficient tax that just made a whole heap of middle men rich (from our tax) for extremely marginal benefit, if any.
Aussies will never learn, they love these bullshit feel good policies.
As a side note, it's ridiculous and shows the inefficiency of the whole scheme that they have to charge more than 10c to the manufacturers as I would generously estimate that at best 80% of the cans end up getting their deposits refunded, so there should be 20% of the funding easily available to work the system.
I agree with your last comment but support the deposit scheme. Only I would advocate for the deposit to be bigger, perhaps double the current rate. And return points should be at every supermarket or at least lets say 500m from every shop that sells products in deposit containers, so I dont have to make a separate trip to find out the machine is out of order.
@ripprind: Why do you "support the deposit scheme" out of interest? And not just recycle bins with a decent recycling system?
Would you also support a 10c cardboard box refund scheme? What about 10c on every tin can too?
If the argument is "oh but it's incentive for people not to throw their cans out the window!"… It isn't, the people that were going to do that, are still going to do that, whether it's 10c refund, 20c refund or 50c refund.
It's an attitude thing, not a "oh I'm Gunna miss out on 10c if I collect enough of these then make a trip to a deposit location and claim my money back" situation.
Also, I looked up the stats for queensland, they are only getting 67% ~ of the cans back for refunds. So they have 33% of the funding to run the thing (if they only charged 10c) and still that isn't enough to run the inefficient white elephant. That would be about 37 Million $ per year to run the show IF they only charged manufacturers 10c, however apparently they charge between 15-20c to manufacturers… So it must be costing in the order of 100 million $ per year, just for QLDs operation. Either that or a lot of Labor/Greenies buddies are getting rich from this scheme.
Is Coke in Australia still made with cane sugar?
Classic Coke is
Since when is subscribe and save a 5% discount instead of 10?
Obviously lots getting the discount, then cancelling the S & S.
It was announced a while ago, but only recently have I started seeing 5% S&S items.
30 packs are $28 at woolies (in SA) at the moment - as they are every second week or so.
Current price in NSW as well, but hasn't been under $2.67/L in quite a while.
I recently tried coke zero sugar and was surprised how close to the original it tasted. Its probably still not good for you, but its interesting.
What's also surprising is that the supermarket home brand zero colas are also very similar - in years gone by they were awful. Now they are quite good and only ~$1.15 for 1.25 litres. Mixed with a good single malt whisky I can't tell the difference between coke zero and supermarket zero.
You had me till the good single malt part. Nice try
Only good if its cold. Also the BB date is a lot shorter on the zero sugar varieties.
Edr 10% discount is cheaper than this. S&s 5% only means Amazon no longer good deal when they price match
You're right, but you do need Extra.
Theres always the spend $50 get 10000 points for 4 week deals, which give u approx 25% off in face value. However, you'd have to be paying $1/can because Coles not WW.
Still seems stupidly expensive even on special. ~$2.55/L if my math is mathin.
Edit: Not saying it isn't a deal in this economy, I just think its pricy for sugar water.
