If that was the case they would sell prepackaged zucchinis

There are so many jokes I’d like to use right now in relation to zucchinis but I’d turn MS into a Rodney Rude concert and have my arse handed to me. :joy:

I always wonder why there are no extra or extended bus services to/from Highpoint and Chadstone during the 34 hour trading period? It could alleviate parking problems at both complexes.

The Kailis Bros in Leederville will open during the 36-hour trading period from 7am Sunday 23 Dec to 7pm Monday 24 Dec. This has been happening for many years now. I have been there during Xmas Eve before 7am shopping to buy some seafood.

Been there, done my Xmas shopping. At least the major stuff I can’t buy at Coles or Woolies.

Today I shopped at Garden City Booragoon and noticed that the old Woolworths Logo was still stuck over the store for 13 years now. 99% of the stores across Australia have got the apple Woolworths logos. the Booragoon store is quite outdated and needed a revamp as soon as possible.

It took Morley galleria woolwoths a long time to update their logo as well… Not surprised Booragoon Woolworths still has the old logo though.

The BIG W store at Tea Tree Plaza in Adelaide still has the old BIG W - We sell for less logo which was used prior to 2008. BIG W once again changed their logo in 2017.

I think just about everyone would be driving anyway, because you plan to buy a lot and don’t want to lug that on a train/bus. Other than the small amount of people who might want to bus there and then get a taxi-like-vehicle home.

They are waiting for the centre refurbishment I believe, same reason why the coles there is really dated.

Hot Cross Buns are apparently already out at the supermarkets. I am fine with that. However, I do not want see Easter Eggs until at least mid-late February. Let it be a month or so in the New Year before they come out

Bad luck. You’re getting them next week whether you like it or not. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Maybe I’ll invent Oz Cross Buns or Southern Cross Buns for Australia Day to create a buffer between Christmas and Easter. :joy:

Why do people complain about this same shit every year… it’s not going to change and it’s not like it’s suddenly appearing any earlier than before.

short term memory loss or something. it’s not like they’re appearing after halloween in droves.

Exactly, it’s been happening for many years now. Same deal with Christmas stock starting to appear on the shelves from Late August.

People must be buying Hot Cross Buns & Easter Eggs as early as Boxing Day if the supermarkets are stocking them on the shelves at that time, otherwise they’d probably just hold off until Late February/Early March.

Still, it’s a little surprising given Easter will be late April in 2019 (19th-21st April) and not late March or early April as in recent years.

hasn’t it got something to do with the moons

Yes, but obviously the lateness of Easter next year hasn’t stopped the stores from flogging them already!

Couldn’t they let us deal with New Year’s and Australia Day first… :frowning_face:

Not surprised, the packaging for the hot cross buns came into my store mid-december (much to our bakers delight! :frowning: )

Would Coles or Woolworths risk selling Australia Day themed items or anything plastered with the Australian flag in this era of perpetual outrage?
