$24 for a 6 pack of Stella....

[Bloodyaussie]

Picking up some parts for my trailer and thought I would grab a cold one for the journey home....

Thought there was some kind of mistake when I saw the price of $24 for a 6 pack of Stella... asked the 4 blokes standing up at the counter and they said it was the post code that is why..... Tullamarine ????

I told him I work in Toorak and there was no way in hell they would pay that??

Walked out and went elsewhere ...

Besides some remote place what is your worst example of rip off pricks!!!!

[ozzymalone]

Tell em' they're dreamin'!!! ~ $9.00 for a single can of FOSTERS (ick!) during the 'lympics! Never get over that!

My country hairdresser charges $10 for a number 2 haircut. I'm in the city and got the same haircut for $23.50!!

Everybody has to earn a living, but really. They've lost a customer when I'm next in the city.

[jack]

Any food or drink at an AFL game = RIPOFF

[threedogs]

Yep I get the number 2 as well and Its criminal to charge that money...I see it in the suburban area hairdressers.

It takes them a whole 1 minute for me...lol....Your better off buying a Kmart clipper for $20 and get 1 year usage before it goes blunt...lol

[Maxhead]

I love this forum...The thread starts with ridiculously overpriced beer and ends up about hair clippers....hahahaha
...and for the record the $20 clippers are tops...lol and Stella is cats pi55

Your haircut is still $10 in the City, Cobber... the extra $13.50 is for the remedial therapy for the stylist.

Stylists aren't as pschologically prepared for a visit from you as hairdressers... and I'll bet thats with a lycra discount as well, sweet cheeks ;)

Ba ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! farrkin pissed myself Kris!!!!

[Winnie]

I understand that people have to make a profit but nobody likes being ripped off

[macca86]

Stella = wife beaters in my country of Scotland. On a good booze buy I payed $20 for 10 cans of some cider on the weekend 4.5% alcohol and heaps better than strongbow kinda like bulmers with out the price tag

[Bloodyaussie]

Yeah my brother inlaw says Stella is just cheap piss in Europe and the Poms go over to Europe in a van and fill it then drive back to merry old England!!!!

I still stand by my Aldi beer that is basically Stella for $30 a slab!!!!!!! $15 less than Stella for the same beer!!!!

[Winnie]

Just like Corona is crap beer in Mexico yet people overhype the crap out of it over here

[macca86]

And I've never seen fosters on tap here but have had it on tap in scotland

[Bloodyaussie]

Did you like it????????????

[MudRunnerTD]

I think it was about $38 for a 6 pack of any full strength beer at Yalara in NT near Uluru!! CRAZY DEAR! Drove 40 minutes down the road and bought back a box of Thooheys New for $70 BARGAIN Hey!!

[mudski]

I'd have to disagree on the cats piss. I have finally found a beer that I can drink lots of and not feel bloated. The Aldi equivalent is $15 cheaper a slab but I found I had the bloating feeling after about six so back to the stella. Plus drinking it from an ice cold glass is awesome too. Don't get me started on that VB chit. Was chit when they first made, chit when they changed it and chit now again. But each to their own.
As for rips off's. 149 cents per litre for diesel is absolute hi-way robbery. Cost me $145 just to fill the tank and half the sub tank yesty :O

[macca86]

If only our beer was that cheap

[MudRunnerTD]

Lol my GUIV costs me $245 to fill the long range tank and the sub tank in Geelong. Crazy stuff!

[megatexture]

At winton I paid 51$ for a carton of xxxx golds !! 8$for 2 loaf of bread that once defrosted had mould on it lmao not happy jan! Lol 2x2lrt milks they had a deal for 9$ lmao what's the usual price !

[Coldcomfort]

If you are afer a really refreshing, really tasty, Aussie lager go for the Stone and Wood lager or the James Squire Sun down Australian Lager. Both are top shelf beers and not all that much more than the mass produced vomit that gets mistaken for beer.

[93patrol]

I can honestly say that fosters in England Ireland tastes a Hell of a lot different than the fosters we get here. It's actually good kinda like crownies but better. For me it's Swan draught all the way. Some people like the running bird (emu export) but be f&$@ed if I would drink it. When I was 18 it was emu bitter then I grew some taste buds


Just tap it in just tappy tappy tappy

[threedogs]

$96 for a carton of VB cans in Bamaga in 1983, passed and drank Bundy from bottle $20

[pearcey]

Got it covered guys at my place it`s less than 50cents a pint of full strength and tastes heaps better than your fancy pretend to be imported beers
Price in the out back is due to government allowing operators to rip people off .
It`s the same for diesel we, Joe public are paying at least 30% more at the pump to compensate the discounts the mining and trucking company's get

[pearcey]

Back in June 2012 at well 33 on the Canning fuel was $3.40 a lt and a hot shower was $10.

My local rippoff watering hole charges whatever they like
Its $5.50 or $6 for a can of jimmie
We paid $100 for a carton of UDLs around 8/9 years ago
There reasoning for the massive prices are,"Its the freight to get here "
HMMM,i can drive 20 Ks further away,from town and from brissie and pay brissie prices, and drive another 40 Ks again and get it cheaper still .....
People stop there and go "Holey sheeeeet,if thats the price here,itll be dearer further away"
Thats how he makes the money
He isnt called gold finger for nothin
He doesnt own half the town by being honest either

[MC97GQ]

Just to add insult to injury,

My local BWS has wife beater(Stella) for $42 a box at the moment, that's a bit better than $96

Ha! That's cheap mate.... Anywhere in tas your looking at $8 or $9 for a can of jimmy over the bar and even more for jacks.

About $47 - $53 for a carton of boags (draught) and you blokes can get it way cheaper on the mainland. The brewery is only an hour and a half away from me..... Talk about a ripoff!!


Tap, crackle, pop

[93patrol]

its cheaper now in bunbury to buy 4 middies rather than 1 jug of beer, 1 jug =$17-$20
1 middy = $3.80-$4.50 depending on which beer is on tap

You mean to tell us that you actually paid for that mop chop!!!!????? I thought you did it yourself Hahahaha

To tap, or not to tap: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?

[Maxhead]

Here in vic I can buy 30 cans of boags for $40 and in tas it was something like $50 for 24!!!

What! You get boags in cans??
