Paper price labels are being ditched for digital ones as online-style "dynamic pricing" comes to shelves in shopping centres.

    I already have a browser plugin that tells me the price history of everything at Coles. There’s one for Woolies too.

      Those are some huge price swings for some chocolate in just a couple months time span. Is it common for products to fluctuate so much in price in your area?

        Yes. It’s like this for close to half the product range at both Coles and Woolworths.

        “50% off” I consider to be the normal price. Every price is either doubled or not. There are no “specials”.

        Even at $3.60, the supermarkets are pissing on you and telling you it’s raining.

        Coles Trend.

        You might need to upgrade your browser 😉

        I actually saw Tim Tams on the shelf at a Morrison’s in Northern Scotland, and it was cheaper than Coles in Australia. It’s absurdly priced here.

          I found an industrial sized box of them, and snapped them up. I’ve been doling them out to some poor ozzies stuck in my neck of the woods for months now. I think the end price was about two dollars a box.
