My wife recently bought five of those Optus ringtone things where you get two ringtones per pack (why she needs them I have no idea). Normal price $3.99, she paid 1c each - a 99.75% saving!

I went shopping this morning - of course I forgot Dagboy's list, the only ones I could remember were milk, bread & chicken breast fillets. Pretty clever, since I suggested most of the things on the list

Re: The Price of Food in Australia
Japanese chefs are not overly keen on the Aussie beef. I believe Japan is getting ready to restart US beef imports. Kobe beef attracts the highest price in Japan. That is the stuff where they feed the cows what they want and reward them with beer and massages. The meat looks fatty however the streaks melt into the meat making it very soft and tender.
The high end British beef is excellent quality however the stuff in the supermarkets is crap and overpriced. Aberdeen Angus beef from scotland was used by Michelin starred restaurants before the BSE crisis.
The good thing about Aussie beef is that it is good value but the drought has had an impact on quality.
