Discover the $6 luxury secret at Woolies that lives up to its $350 high-end competitors!

It can be hard to find a good value luxury item these days, with so many products costing an arm and a leg and offering little in return. But don't worry - we know great places to hunt for bargains, including at your local Woolworths store!
That's right - the supermarket might just be the last place you'd expect to find luxury items, but believe it or not, it seems to have a $6 secret that rivals high-end varieties costing upwards of $350!
This secret came to light when a Victorian couple found a 50g tub of black caviar at Woolies. Kelly and Habib Arvan, who share a TikTok account, were so pleased with their discovery that they made a video about it with almost 540,000 views.
'$6 caviar from Woolworths - say no more,' Kelly can be heard saying in their viral post.
For those of us who are a bit clueless when it comes to caviar (we were, too), caviar is a luxury food generally made from the roe (eggs) of sturgeon, a type of large fish. The taste of caviar can vary depending on the species of sturgeon, where it's harvested from, and how it's processed, but it generally has a rich and salty flavour with a smooth, buttery texture.
Kelly explains in the video that there's black caviar and red caviar, and that this one is lumpfish and has a 'more kind of an earthy kind of taste'. Lumpfish are more abundant in nature, making their eggs a cheaper alternative.
Good-quality caviar is often described as having a distinct taste that can be both salty and slightly sweet, with a subtle umami flavour.
The eggs are typically small, firm, and glossy, and they burst with flavour as you bite into them. The texture of caviar is often compared to that of tiny pearls, with a satisfying pop in the mouth.

Now, the cost of black caviar at other stores (such as Victorian caviar producer Yarra Valley Caviar) can range from $14 to as much as $350 (this price is for a 50g tub of Swedish lumpfish Black Caviar).
So can you believe it - you can get 50g of black caviar from Woolies at the bargain price of only $6!
Caviar is often enjoyed as a garnish or topping for various dishes, such as sushi, oysters, and blinis (small pancakes), or simply served on its own with crackers or toast points.
Its unique taste and luxurious reputation make it a delicacy that is prized by many food connoisseurs. However, taste preferences can vary, and some people may find caviar to be an acquired taste due to its strong flavour and unique texture.
At this point, the Arvans had already decided to mix the caviar with Doritos corn chips, based on another TikTok recommendation they saw, and the verdict when they tried it - was undoubtedly a thumbs up.
'Run, don't walk. RUN!' Kelly Arvan excitedly exclaimed. '10/10... Arvan family approved!' Habib, who must've been equally pleased with his wife's beautiful find, simply replied with 'So good!'
This reaction from customers was then echoed in the comments, with hundreds of people expressing their own excitement and planning to do the same.
Of course, a few caviar 'purists' came forward to comment on 'proper black caviar', but overall, the response to the video has been overwhelmingly positive.
Members, if you're wondering if this is worth the trip to Woolies to try, the answer is… Yes – definitely.
Caviar is a delicacy that's been enjoyed by connoisseurs for centuries, and it may just become your new favourite luxury food item. So go ahead, take a step outside your culinary comfort zone and discover the delectable flavours of caviar for yourself!
Be sure to grab it quickly, as this caviar bargain won't probably last very long. It's best to try it for yourself to truly experience its taste! So, if you have the opportunity, consider trying caviar from a reputable source to see how its flavour profile appeals to you.
Bon appetit!
