    They hardly discount meat that expires the same day. I went in the Tuesday after Australia Day and they had a full display section of lamb chops expiring that day. Obviously they hadn’t had the Australia Day weekend lamb orders they expected.

    None of the $~20 packs that I had gone there to buy were discounted more than 20c. I think they are allergic to offering actual discounts, to the point they’d rather throw out an entire display of lamb than offer them at a discount that would tempt people to change their that night dinner plans.

      Back in the day losing a couple thousand dollars of meat meant you had serious fucking problems.

      Now it just means a write off and a tax deduction.

    Coles kitchen butter chicken has been on a “2 for $15” special for about 4 years now 😅 I specifically remember because I was in hospital a couple of times that year and had my folks bring it in to me because the hospital food was gross. It’s never been not on special 🤷‍♀️
