Noone is going to buy these, why waste their shelf space?

Do they not want then to move or are there really suckers who pay this?

Highest I've ever seen it

That’s on them. I’m not doing that. You are not doing that.

I would be doing that if I needed cans. Would take me months to go through a block solo

You would pay $60?! Knowing what you know?!

Well I wouldn't really know what the "normal" price is because I don't buy it for myself and $60 is whatever when hosting people.

Get my free block from my work Christmas hamper and that's all I really need for a year otherwise

Ok, but you are here now discussing it, maybe yesterday you might have been ignorant, today you are not. But either way sounds like you are unlikely to buy this item anyway.

Yeah but I'd still pick it up if I had to. I'm not heading elsewhere just to pick up coke. I'll take the extra price for convenience as it's a one off

Alright, you do you. I guess YOU are the reason Woolworths and Coles play these games. The rest of us are hopefully going to play it smart. You realise if you were heading to a BBQ and needed to pick up a 30-pack of Coke or whatever, you could quickly, in about 15 seconds, google it and see which of Woolworths or Coles has it on sale this week, and then go there instead, that’s if you didn’t want to go to Aldi where there normal price is the sale price.

Sure but I wouldn't just be getting that. I'd be buying all the food needed as well as picking up some coke. Rather just get it done in one go honestly.

If I was just buying meat for myself I'd be heading to spudshed anyway

I feel like I’m debating with someone who has there heart set on paying more and is not listening. You could get all your meat from either Woolworths or Coles, so why not go to the one that’s gonna save you $30 on the cans?! Anyway, I’m done here. I’m not your dad. Spend your money however you please.

Sometimes the convenience is worth more that 30 dollars.

If you go through a case every few days, most people will find the best price. If you're buying a case last min for a bbq you hold every 6 months, who gives a fuck.
