I’m in lockdown, mate. I can’t loiter around supermarkets at the moment. 
Going to a Coles was a rare treat.

“Thryv” 
Directory business Sensis to rebrand to Thryv
Digital marketing and directory services company Sensis, one of Australia’s oldest continuous companies, has changed its name to Thryv Australia following its acquisition by Thryv, Inc.
U.S. NASDAQ-listed Thryv (NASDAQ: THRY) is one of America’s top-rated software companies serving the needs of small to medium and large multi-location businesses. The rebrand coincides with the launch of the Thryv™ software in Australia.
Thryv Australia will continue to serve its more than 100,000 business and government customers through its iconic Yellow and White Pages brands whilst investing significant resources into the launch and scaling of its Thryv SaaS.
“Since March, our teams in Australia and the U.S. have been working around the clock to bring the Thryv software solution to market,” says John Allan, Thryv, CEO Australia.
“What makes Thryv unique is not only is it a class-leading digital product, but it’s unwavering commitment to help businesses use digital software to improve service to their customers. It’s this ethos we want to reflect in our new brand, Thryv.”
Mr. Allan said the change in corporate identity from Sensis to Thryv is a natural step in the company’s 141-year history “as we look to grow our software company in addition to our marketing services business.”
Parts of Sensis date back to 1880 when the first Australian telephone exchange and directory was launched as the White Pages. The Yellow Pages was launched in 1975 with both Yellow and White Pages going online in 1994 in a world first for directories.
Thryv’s flagship SaaS all-in-one business management product enables businesses to easily accept appointments, build and manage customer lists, email and text customers, send reminders and notifications, deliver estimates and invoices, accept contactless payments, and generate online ratings and reviews.
Ryan Cantor, Thryv’s Vice President of Product & Marketing, said from the U.S. the products were tailored for Australian businesses to integrate into platforms such as MYOB and Xero.
“We are pleased to welcome Australian small businesses to the Thryv platform,” said Cantor. “Our end-to-end client experience software helps small businesses grow. With Thryv, small businesses can centralize their day-to-day activities through one elegant, easy-to-use dashboard.
“Thryv helps these businesses modernize their workflows, such as payments, Google My Business, appointment scheduling, communication, marketing and more, while ensuring they put their customers at the center of their of everything they do.”

What an odd choice.
I saw Thryv’s “Gimme Thryv” commercials on TV in recent days and was wondering what it was about.

so i brought a Primo Scambles (I got the super cheesy bacon) yesterday in shopping and had it for breakfast this morning.
It was not great, but at 60 seconds in the microwave was decent. the only let down was the price. at $4 i would not buy again. if it was $3 i could see myself having it daily but the exta buck just makes it a little too much, especially given the price of cereal.

It does seem like a lot when they’re only giving you freeze dried bacon and cheese.

I would have loved a photo of what it looked like after you made it!
Do you need to store it in the fridge before you use it?
That is quite expensive when you add the price of an egg. Adding the egg makes it seem so better nutritionally.
it was essentially a big omelette in the bottom of the cup
yeah it comes with a little pack of shredded cheese inside so needs to be stored in the fridge

I bought three tubs of Primo Scrambles at Woolworths (one for each flavour) last month. They tasted good, and are a great way to create lunch in a hurry.
they are certainly good tasting and quick. no dispute there. my issue is the price for what they are
I think out of $4 cover price, $1 is for the packaging (including a microwave-safe tub), $2.5 is for the ingredients, and $0.5 for the labour and transport.
i bought a couple - found 60 seconds was nowhere near long enough to microwave
so the retailer doesn’t get any of it?

i would think the packaging would be cents, especially in volume. the ingredients would be probably tens of cents at most.

Very overpriced item, suspect once it’s more established it will be yet another thing that Coles / Woolies routinely offers at half price.
Seeing how often super markets have ½Price and Better than ½Price sale items, it would be safe to assume that the retailer makes 60% of the retail price of most items.

Supermarket profits are quite lean.
Woolies total Australian sales for the year - $55B
Cost of goods sold is $40B
Net profits is $2B
So the profits to shareholders is about 3c out of every dollar in sales.
