Strange day today in MEL at the bowsers. 7 eleven kept their prices low and as a result WW Fuels lowered their prices from $1.50 to $1.36. I had to fill at that price before Easter, not to mention to get the points!

Got we miss you offer of 300 points for $50 dollar spend.

Prior to last week I had never bought from the "fresh" seafood section at Woolies. On occasion I'd bought the shrink wrapped live mussels when they were on special but never any fresh fish / prawns etc.
Walking past last week they had school prawns for $4.99/kg with some tasters out the front with serviettes. They were some of the sweetest and freshest Australian prawns I've come across. Most certainly they were the small schoolies but at $4.99/kg they were an absolute steal.

I picked up about 1.2kg from memory costing a bit over $6.

After buying them and having an amazing lunch, I noticed that evening others were reporting a new offer of $10 seafood spend for 100 points, which I did not receive... until today.

Now to hope they have as good a deal this week!

Not sure if I am going off topic here BUT, here goes.
Is it just me or are Coles (and to a lesser extent) Woolies getting rid of independent brands from their shelves?
I notice that cheese for example in Coles is lacking in range, still pretty good over at Woolies
In spite of the lack of convenience with Woolies I am now moving the bulk of my shopping across ( EDR points not withstanding) .
I would be interested to know if this differs from store to store

WOW are the masters....they copy everything from Wallmart & Tesco. The last original thought WOW had - was opening a store.

Yet they let their biggest rival to buy one of their most profitable stores.

100 bonus points for $10 of fresh meat offer for me this evening. First offer in over 4 weeks here. This is an easy one for us to add to the point collection.

Neutral Bay was my local for 20 years.....one of the biggest over-traders WOW have. So much so - they brought the old Franklins shopping centre across the road (Military Rd) & opened another one.

Coles being the landlord gets to see the numbers & control the lease.....very funny. I can see many landlords being offered a truck load of money in the coming months.

Coles reviewed their books prior to purchase & highlighted 120 stores with vulnerable leases.......these stores have a combined sales total of 3 billion pa....interesting times ahead for 120 landlords!

There was a promotion last month where you had to spend a certain amount for 3 consecutive to receive a gift card for Easter. There were various spends required and the one for the $30 gift card was for $150 spend every week for 3 weeks.

Perhaps you received e-mail and activated it or perhaps you were automatically enrolled in the promotion. I am also waiting for my $30 Easter gift card.

I took up that one and the meat was cough. Complained and now I will get a refund, replacement and the 100 points, win I suppose.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer DJ's meat counter in Bondi Jn but for $10 of ham I don't mind 'slumming it' for a few days.

I wonder if this squeezing out of the independent brands ( by Coles and wow) will see the rise of IGA to greater prominence?

On 3 accounts got double point offers at BWS this weekend. Activated, probably wont use unless they put something good on sale.
