Now Sanitarium refuses to sell Weetbix to Warehouse, who have been selling the 1.2kg box for $6 for ages!!!… View more

Now Sanitarium refuses to sell Weetbix to Warehouse, who have been selling the 1.2kg box for $6 for ages!!!
Really!!!
I’m sure Warehouse still make a profit at $6. It’s all those 69c (P&S price today) that make a difference to my budget.
“Shame Sanitarium, Go Warehouse”
Actually I’ll be deleting Sanitarium products from my shopping list meantime……
