This thread may die down a bit now, I just noticed that Melbourne has it's own Supermarket thread: Standard of supermarkets in melbourne

Who is game to start the "Standard of supermarkets in Brisbane or ... etc etc" thread ? :D

I've got a theory that they substitute the powder for sand. That's why I always seem to find it in the most unlikely places, when I haven't been near the beach.

How much did it cost?.
Funnily, I noticed that when you buy larger packs, you pay the same per unit price. In every other place, it works out much cheaper when you buy 'economy' size. Also I didn't find any 'three for the price of two' kind of deals or 40% extra... free....buy while stocks last....kind of deals :D
