I just bought 50kg raw and 50kg white sugar from MBL in Canning Vale for $154.00, walk in order it then drive around the back to the loading dock and have it put in the back of the ute for me.....

I know where I'm going from now on, they even got 5kg bags of mixed lollies pretty cheap :))

You need to be a member though :doh: , I sucked up to a mate with one.

You can show your RAC card if you have one.
Heck, last time i just said we have one but forgot it at home - the checkout chick still let us buy


I've noticed a couple IGA in WA selling "No Frills' brand sugar for $2.15 for 2kg.

Supermarkets have the volume to drop the prices.. they buy tonnage of sugar and distribute to their stores. You will really struggle to find a better price.

I go to IGA and get the "no frills" brand. About a dollar a kg :handgestures-thumbupleft:
