mmmmarrrmite!!! to you 17 bucks mate.
I went out to buy Ad some comfort food today...and ended up buying a jar of english marmite ( 250g) ...for $17...( 5 quid?)
is this a world mark up record?
or simply fair pricing for a well travelled condiment?

As for fair, it'll have to get a lot more expensive than that to put me off!

Marmite
Just finishing the packing to go to NZ for our Recce Trip this evening. Hoping to get a job offer in C'church or Nelson.
However have had pleas from friends to bring over pots of Marmite (yuk!) and four-way plugs. Just packed two massive pots of marmite at £4 a time from Costco.

It may be expensive out there, but still worth it i'm sure, after all a big jar lasts about 5years in my household - no one but me likes it!!

I bet Australian Customs would take a dim view to bringing in "BSE in a Jar"

If your friends are in Chch tell them i've seen marmite in Pak & Save in the Northlands mall on the shelves underneath the deli counter.
