Low raw sugar price in Oz

Post by HookLine »

'Homebrand' raw sugar in Woolies is back down to $1.89 for 2kg. Never seen it cheaper.

Now is good time to stock up.

Wow! That would be 4 times as much as I have been paying. I didn't think about it the first time I read this. 2 kg is a little less then a pound right? I'm paying $1.79 for 4 lbs.

Then Googles calculator is wrong. 1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms is what Google says?

I'm sorry I was looking at it backwards. I'm not with it today for some reason. :crazy:

And I never look at the price of the raw stuff. To much around here. And again I forgot that's what they get sown there. I don't know where my hard is today :wtf:

Sugar (and bananas) got real expensive here for a while, after our main growing region for both (Nth Queensland) was hit by a series of big cyclones and floods over the last 3 years or so. Just getting back into full production now I think. :thumbup:
