1238598 2011-10-19 18:04:00 First I heard of it. Prices were certainly a lot less in 1977. Bobh (5192)

I think they were 1987 prices and only on selected items. Something to do with when we last won the RWC.

1238600 2011-10-19 21:53:00 1987 Prices. From what I heard the specials varied from store to store but in general, there weren't very many bargains. xyz823 (13649)
1238601 2011-10-19 22:15:00 It was decidedly underwhelming. I've seen cheaper prices at Countdown for their Weekend Windbacks for most of the stuff. $1.79 for a 1.5litre coke? Not exactly cheap. There were maybe 3 or 4 items that wee really cheap ($5.99 for 1kg cheese, $2.99 for a 500g butter), the rest were just normal specials. inphinity (7274)
1238602 2011-10-19 23:46:00 I missed it too... well almost... my girlfriend turned up with a boot full of shopping... oooh thanks dear!

The odd item was close to expiry date though - think that is how they were able to do it.

1238603 2011-10-20 00:01:00 yeah not a great deal to be had, and the crowds would have put me off Gobe1 (6290)
1238604 2011-10-20 00:19:00 Went to Pak n save yesterday, expecting specials from 1987. All I could find was a 24 year old loaf of bread. bot (15449)
1238605 2011-10-20 04:11:00 Typo - I meant 1987.

So it was a bit of a cheat then, only certain items? Well, I feel better now, I was wondering why they didn't get massive crowds buying up all the meat, butter and cheese in sight.
