This much-loved Aussie treat just got a lot more expensive at Coles and Woolies!
- Replies 21
Remember the good old days when we could indulge in our favourite Aussie treats without breaking the bank? Ah, those were the times! But sadly, it seems like those days are long gone.
In the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, Aussies are being hit with skyrocketing prices left, right, and centre, and now even our beloved Golden Gaytime ice cream has fallen victim to this unfortunate trend.
Golden Gaytime is an iconic Aussie treat that's practically synonymous with summertime — but now, instead of enjoying this classic toffee and vanilla-flavoured confection for a reasonable price, we're shelling out a whopping $10 for a four-pack at supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths.
That's almost an 18 per cent increase from just a couple of years ago when a multipack cost only $8.49!
If you prefer to buy single sticks of Golden Gaytime, be prepared to fork out as much as $5, up from $3.40 right before the pandemic hit. Even the limited-edition varieties are getting more and more expensive, with some boxes now exceeding the $12 mark.
It's no wonder fans of Golden Gaytime are feeling outraged by these price increases. We all want to enjoy our favourite Aussie treats without feeling like we're breaking the bank.
Here's hoping that something changes soon, and we can once again indulge in our beloved Golden Gaytime without worrying about the cost.
It's always helpful to know why things are happening, and the same goes for the price increase of Golden Gaytime ice cream. According to Streets, the company behind this iconic Aussie treat, there are several factors at play.
One of the main reasons for the price hike is material and ingredient inflation. As the cost of raw materials and ingredients increases, it becomes more expensive for companies like Streets to produce their products.
On top of that, higher energy costs and rising wages also contribute to the increase in price.
While these factors are certainly important to consider, it's worth noting that the sale price of Golden Gaytime ultimately falls under the discretion of the retailers. So, while Streets may be facing higher costs, it's up to supermarkets and other retailers to decide how much they want to charge consumers for the product.
It's not just Golden Gaytime ice cream that's leaving Aussies feeling frustrated and fuming. Recently, a TikTok user named Kaitlin posted a video highlighting the increased prices of various grocery items, including staples like cereal, soft drinks, and chips.
Her video struck a chord with many viewers, who were quick to agree with her and express their shock at the situation. Some even went as far as to call it 'daylight robbery'.
Comments flooded in, with one user expressing their anger at the situation, saying, 'I'm actually at the point of anger when grocery shopping now.'
Another viewer couldn't believe the price of a single pack of Pringles, stating, 'One single pack of Pringles for $6… Are you kidding?'
It's clear that Aussies are feeling the pinch of these rising prices, and it's not just a few items that are affected.
Hopefully, companies and retailers will find a way to balance their costs while still providing affordable options for everyday essentials. Until then, it's essential to keep a keen eye on our budgets and look for ways to make our grocery shopping experience as cost-effective as possible.
It's understandable that many of us are feeling financial strain during these challenging times. However, there are ways we can manage our expenses and still enjoy the things we love.
One strategy is to keep an eye out for specials and promotions at your local supermarket, allowing you to stock up on your favourite items when they are on sale. It's also worth exploring alternative brands or products that offer better value for money. You may even discover some new favourites along the way!
