Oof. I would definitely be complaining to the ACCC over that, as well as directly to Woolies. Straight-up dishonest marketing.

Let us know how they respond!

That is straight up scamming, you should complain to the ACCC, I doubt they will do shit but if enough people complain they might.

That’s Mexico, Australia.

I hate to be that guy but are you 100% sure that there isn't another price tag for the one you're holding. It seems like the Australian price tag is attached to the Australian grown garlic basket. Someone might have just picked up the Mexican grown one and then changed their mind and put it back in the wrong place

[–] philip@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

They were all like that and this was the only garlic product there with 3 in a pack. Perhaps they were mislabelled. I'm going to go back to this supermarket and get some clarification.

Do they mean packed in Australia?

Go easy on ol' mate Woolies, this is an easy mistake to make...the I key is very close to the A key!
