You’d be paying about $150 for a bag that size in Australia.
Halloween - that special month of the year when confectionary prices triple.
Mendelez and Nestle strangling the goose before it even arrives…
I like a couple of years ago they tried going “aspirational” - 200g bags of florentines and dried fruit for $35 - super Jeremy !
95% of it ended up being fed to hogs…
We simply don’t make bags that big, because that size is pretty ridiculous. But, you can buy 20-packs of Snickers, Twix, Milky way standard price $7.50 at Coles. They’re between 300 and 320 grams so you’d need about 7 bags for the equivalent content and weight = ~52.50 AUD.
Yeah, about 40% more expensive, but these are made in Australia with cane sugar and real milk, not whatever hugh-fructose corn syrip + sawdust filling the US ones have nowadays thanks to endless Republican deregulations.
Yeah there are supermarkets, but it’s a bit of a duopoly between the two market leaders Coles and Woolworths.
Aldi entered the market about a decade ago but there are fewer of those, there are also lots of independent grocers that have their own cooperative brand called IGA (independent grocers association iirc), but they’re generally the most expensive.

No, you would not. $150? Try just over $50.

They are usually sold at half price, they only sell at the standard price in October, Colesworth troll.
Is there Australian supermarkets or are Aussies stuck having to suck off the evil Walton family?
Yeah there are supermarkets, but it’s a bit of a duopoly between the two market leaders Coles and Woolworths.

No, they have a crushing duopoly that makes the Waltons look like Father Christmas.
And an army of internet trolls like the poster above.
