It has been a while since that last big promotion they had on to educate us on who owns what, maybe its time again.There is nothing worse than watching a big Aussie brand go down, but I am also responsible for it by not taking the time to shop with purpose.<br />Becc @ Take Charge NowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618595985130726262.post-3205374599224493112013-04-19T22:53:58.091+09:302013-04-19T22:53:58.091+09:30I must admit, I am too busy trying to occupy my ki...I must admit, I am too busy trying to occupy my kids and try to zoom through quickly before it's tantrum time when I shop to think too much about buying Australian made. One area I have been working in though, is milk. I have stopped buying the cheap supermarket brand milk and now buy the more expensive. Baby steps huh? I always buy ardmona tomatoes though, and I had no idea spring gully were in receivership! I love their pickles. Such a shame. Thanks for drawing my attention to it- hopefully you're suggestions will improve my shopping to include more Aussie made products:)robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351462075778087291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618595985130726262.post-69159507281082370962013-04-19T21:46:38.894+09:302013-04-19T21:46:38.894+09:30Only Oz dot com is where I source a lot of groceri...Only Oz dot com is where I source a lot of groceries from so I can be fairly sure they are Australian owned/made. <br />Good luck on your quest!carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402338064127467604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618595985130726262.post-73000017458801225082013-04-19T06:34:10.662+09:302013-04-19T06:34:10.662+09:30I don't get why we have to have american orang...I don't get why we have to have american oranges in our local woolies, ludicrous.

I try and go Aussie. I love Berenberg chutneys and spreads they are expensive but i can't help it they're good. <br />i didnt know Ardmona was coca-cola though. BUT i find they are the ones that actually contain the most tomatoes in the can. some are as low at 45% tomatoes the Ardmona crushed tomatoes are 97% tomatoes.<br />Mums Take Fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029129945382578533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618595985130726262.post-72737218715045203542013-04-18T11:13:43.589+09:302013-04-18T11:13:43.589+09:30I am definitely guilty of buying whatever is cheap...I am definitely guilty of buying whatever is cheapest but I must say when I do get cereal it is Weatbix and I always go for the local fresh produce when offered that is in season rather than tinned, frozen etc goods or things that are trucked in from down south.CountryMousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799779599751379129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618595985130726262.post-28098771643328410302013-04-18T08:19:58.446+09:302013-04-18T08:19:58.446+09:30Thanks for the info.

If I can I go to aldi although I am not sure how much of their stuff is aussie made. I still do not understand how it can be cheaper to buy friut from overseas to sell or make juice etc.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771839779749239686noreply@blogger.com
