On another note the Ampol Foodary in Old Guildford only recently started to accept the WW 4c Discount (EDR-only signs were recently swapped over) alongside getting Everyday Rewards points.
Although not the first time this has happened (per in a few other suburbs), this Ampol Foodary are basically next to the EG on the same street that already accepts EDR/Discounts.

(Not sure why the link says world super crossā¦ it is about the runner)
Lol $72 for dishwashing tablets?
I have noted the a few other price jumps in the last week to two. Ice-creams have all jumped 20%. Cereal is another. Still a bit yo-yo with fruit and vegetables. Avocadoās are now $2 everywhere and I got bananas today for $3 kg for the first time in ages. Apples have jumped though.
Good Friday tomorrow, so keeping a watch out for reports of Brisbane shoppers flocking to Woolworths at Skygate because they couldnāt plan far enough ahead to avoid needing a trip to the only open supermarket.
Are you one of them? 
No, though I feel a need to rush our and line up to buy some seafood at the markets. Another perpetual Easter report.
Love seeing the Sydney seafood markets every year as a Good Friday news piece 3000km away in Perth 
so relevant.
Perthās equivalent Woolworths under construction next to DFO at Perth Airport is almost certainly going to be 24/7 as well, and therefore get the same media treatment 
Hopefully the media show a local version of the lines of traffic leaving the city.
Almost as thrilling as the āBREAKING NEWSā of the latest house fire or car crash in the breakfast shows. 
I just drove down my local road which has all three supermarket chains. All had people in cars in the carpark, people looking in supermarket window and people hovering around the entrance waiting for it to open. Further down the same thing at Kmart, was more people actually like a dozen cars constantly flowing in and out.
I mean surely people can go a day with Kmart.
Yeah or remove the Good Friday trading restrictions as not everyone is religious and they are outdated. I would happily work Good Friday if I can and take another day off in lieu. If they are people who want to shop today, then let them shop.
Personally, I think it would be fine to have shops open on Good Friday but have them shut on Easter Sunday when families usually get together to celebrate Easter. Itās ridiculous how some businesses are open while others are forced to shut.
Many cafes in my local area are open today. My gym is shut today but opens normally on Sunday. My sister was at her gym this morning and they had gym classes as normal. Strange.
Easter Sunday trading restrictions are only a NSW and SA thing at this point IIRC, whereas Good Friday has maintained some degree of restrictions nationwide.
Agree with you that its a bit unusual when Sunday is traditionally the day of gatherings over the long weekend.
With awards/EBAs allowing people to substitute public holidays gathering momentum, youāve got to wonder how long some of these restrictions will realistically last
I think in the USA it isnāt even a public holiday? Only 10 states celebrate it .
Tomatoes are now really expensive again about $1 a tomato for trussā¦ maybe seasonal.
Whatās the go with this special at Woolworths, second week save 5 c ?
ā
Also Pauls Milk - Qld
Prices Dropepd
$5.90
$1.97 / 1L
WAS $6.30 ā 28/02/2023
Pauls Full Cream Milk 3l
So no one was buying milk at $2.10 a litre so they dropped it ?
Dairy Farmers went up to $2.17 a litre but not it seems to have been deleted from the store they donāt sell it in 3l only the 2l for $2.05 a litre . People going for the cheapest?
I started buying the generic Weetbix (Wheat Biscuits - ingredients are very close to Sanitarium ) at Coles and it tastes fine and the generic milk and the generic brand flyspray from Coles too $5 cheaper works fineā¦ also not going to pay $7 for duck toilet cleaner when generic version is $2.30 ! ?
Breaking: grocery prices fluctuate
I do this also. Have moved to Woolworths milk, have always purchased the strike cleaning products from Woolworths also, are actually good products and good value. I buy the strike dish detergent also I think itās like $1.20. I really notice zero difference in using many of those strike products vs paying x5 for a brand. Dishwasher tablets I have got into the Woolworths tablets which are top also. Much better vs those $72 Fairy tablets I see in the news article.
I do not study or evaluate the products on the weekly like those in this thread do. If I want something, I buy it. Iām conscious of what is on āspecialā at which outlet, however it doesnāt influence my grocery spend.
Itās mostly a thing amongst commonwealth countries and a bunch of Western European countries.
This is absolutely seasonal, Iāve seen Truss tomatoes peak at this price for a few months of the year for probably 10 years at this point.
