bubbleme Tropical Treats Honeydew Delight 6 pack

Is this one worth buying?

bubbleme Tropical Treats Honeydew Delight 6 pack is currently listed at $4.75 at Woolworths, against a usual price of $9.50. That is a useful saving on a regular purchase, though not on its own a reason to make a special trip.

Boxes keep for months unopened, so this is a straightforward stockpile category. Muesli bars and breakfast biscuits are worth the same treatment if they are in your regular rotation. Compare the per-100g price rather than the per-box price: cereal box sizes vary far more than they appear to, and a smaller box at half price is sometimes still worse value than a large box at full price.

Half price specials at both Coles and Woolworths normally run for one week, from Wednesday to the following Tuesday, and the same lines tend to come back on promotion every couple of months. If you miss this one it will very likely return — but the price shown here is the current one, and prices can change without notice.
