Where is the Marmite?

Re: Where is the Marmite?
I bought a jar once - it tasted OKkkkaay, almost like marmite, close enough to fill the void when I didn't have any of the real thing, but I wouldn't buy it if the real thing was available.

Vegemite is one of those things people, well Australians, ask you to pick up in London so I doubt it's more available here than Marmite.

Re: Where is the Marmite?
I spent a couple of hours yesterday visiting all the grocery stores in Kamloops (wearing a mask) looking for marmite but no joy, this is getting bad, luckily i had stocked up about a month back but it wont last long. Couldn't even find any vegimite.

??? I was able to buy two 500g jars of Marmite from Amazon for barely more than I paid for one small (125g ?) jar from a local grocery!

Amazon Canada has a 250g pot for $32. Free delivery. As is often the way, there are sellers charging less but miraculously the delivery charges by astonishing coincidence make it the same total of $32

125g here (NC) costs US$7.14 (C$9.50) and I paid about $10 for 250g a few years ago. The Amazon.ca prices are reasonable compared to my local NC US$ prices, but your Canadian local price seem suspiciouly low..

Re: Where is the Marmite?
I ordered a dozen 250g jars from Amazon last week for $100. Should be here today.
Usually get the 500g jars but couldn't find them for less than a major appendage.
Should last me another 6 months.

Now I want some Marmite, having not had any for probably about three years, but I don't want it enough to pay the current stupid prices.

Wait, you can buy 125g of Marmite in Canada for C$4? ..... Even Sainsbury's in the UK charges C$3.15!
125g here (NC) costs US$7.14 (C$9.50) and I paid about $10 for 250g a few years ago. The Amazon.ca prices are reasonable compared to my local NC US$ prices, but your Canadian local price seem suspiciouly low..

It's a bit less than $4 here. $3.79, I think.

Re: Where is the Marmite?
There's no place of origin on the label. It is labelled in English and French and so intended for sale here. Usually though local variations of branded products are detectably different, Cadbury's chocolate for example, Marmite tastes the same. I'd guess that it's bulk transported and bottled (jarred?) here. Imagine, on the high seas there may be tanker ships filled with Marmite, it's a good thing it's only oil tankers that sink.
