Sasquatch Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 This looks like lekka race food, I think I will give it a bash this weekend :-)
Shebeen Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 they are "NEW". really Woollies, go to Albert Heijn and do some shopping
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 they are "NEW". really Woollies, go to Albert Heijn and do some shopping LOL. It's new to them, dummy Also - I'm happy they have them - now I can get 20% discount on them! I must say, though - the original Stroopwafels, in the tin can, all the way from Netherlands, are still the best.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 How come? I love them. 20% off alles (thanks, wifey) and then another 25% off through Vitality on their healthy food. I'm effectively paying 50% of what the stuff goes for (not stroopwafels though, unfortunately)
Stretch Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 How come? they are a bully...my brother learnt a thing or two when they wanted to stock his chocolate...their margins were just not attainable for a small business..not the first story I have heard either they are also ridiculously expensive for some commodities (not all) which are really just what you will find in another supermarket but packaged very well my wife shops there for some items every month and their mayo is very nice...but if I had a choice I would choose another shop

Capricorn Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 they are a bully...my brother learnt a thing or two when they wanted to stock his chocolate...their margins were just not attainable for a small business..not the first story I have heard either they are also ridiculously expensive for some commodities (not all) which are really just what you will find in another supermarket but packaged very well my wife shops there for some items every month and their mayo is very nice...but if I had a choice I would choose another shop with reference to the highlighted bit, my monthly shopping bill dropped enormously since I've stopped buying from them, and to think i wasn't doing the majority of my normal grocery shopping from them either.
Shebeen Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I cant stand woolworthsI hate the way their 'GREEN' focus is done 45% marketing 45% bottom line 10% conservation.
Stretch Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I must say there are a few WW products that no other chain store can compare to Prawn Chips.Now go try clicks prawn chips....very very nice Peter...and they are a natty size..somewhere between a small size and a large size
Sasquatch Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Prawn chips? What the hell? What kind of sick animal invented those?

FnV and Checka checkas is looking good... PnP - now THAT is a rip-off at times...
Stretch Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Prawn chips? What the hell? What kind of sick animal invented those? Dude..those chips are the bomb...you press them up against the top of your palette till they dissolve then repeat until the entire packet is complete
