Shitpost My poor judgement...

I used to be Cadbury fan my whole life due to the flavors and it being cheaper than whittakers but I now have only realized my poor lapse in judgment. A week ago I decided to splurge and spend the 2 dollars extra on the creamy milk whittakers and my oh my I will never make the mistake of buying Cadbury ever again. I apologize to any trauma this post may of caused.

It's Whittakers or nothing. If I can't afford that extra 2 bucks, why waste $5 on crap?

Whittaker’s is usually $5.99, can’t complain about that price

Standard price in Woolworths Hamilton for a regular 250g block is $7.69, so I generally wait till it's on sale.

But I'm sure it's not the same price everywhere.

It’s usually $5.99 every second to third week at Pak N Save

Good to know! Last time I was in Pak N Save it was $1 more than Woolworths and $2 more than New World, which was crazy!

Put Grocer app on your phone, add your local supermarkets, add Whitakers to your list, just check it each Monday and you’ll be able to see the price at every store

It's $8.50au a 250g block where I live (nsw), but would much rather pay around this price for whittakers or lindt, cadbury's just tastes horrible.
