Aldi or Coles, Independant or Big 4?

September 17, 2009Matt No Comments »

I had an epiphany recently, on how I can save some extra money (no I’m not spamming you, I’m serious). I haven’t shopped at Aldi for a while, primarily because I can’t get Sanitarium products there, and I’m a big fan of Sanitarium. I also figure, I get a bonus shopping at Coles or Woolworths [...]

March 24, 2009Matt 1 Comment »

Spring Valley Smart Energy drinks are fairly new in the energy drink market with three flavours so far. Citrus, blueberry and blood orange with chili. I’ve decided to give all of them a try, from their names, citrus doesn’t seem too unusual, blueberry is a bit of an unusual one, but blood orange with chili [...]

I came across these Rock Energy Drinks at Kmart recently. Since I won’t buy from Kmart anymore withouat a really good reason (a story for another time), I had a look at Coles where I found them in a pack of 4 for $4.00. I realise buying from Coles isn’t much different to Kmart since [...]

V Berry Energy Drink

April 8, 2008Matt 3 Comments »

V Berry is in my opinion the nicest variation of the V energy drinks. It does however come at a cost, it has a lower caffeine quantity. It is probably also the healthiest of the V range as it actually has some fruit juice in it (thus the reduced caffeine quantities in order to fit [...]

March 28, 2008Matt 8 Comments »

So you’ve got your normal V, then theres your sugar free variety, aptly called “V Sugar Free”. This variety of V actually tastes very much like the regular stuff. Like any sugar free variant, it does taste somewhat worse than the original, but it’s not much worse. They are currently $2.20 a can at Coles [...]

V is manufactured by Frucor Beverages in New Zealand and is one of the first energy drinks in a can to appear on the market in Australia (on their website, V acknowledge Red Bull as being the first) and it seems to have remained one of the most popular. I refer to V a lot [...]

Rocket Fuel

Rocket Fuel. Apologies for the mirrored photo. I didn’t realise the webcam settings on my laptop were still set to be mirrored. Anyway, I noticed this at the supermarket last night and figured it would be good for coffee first thing this morning, since I was going to be at uni at 7am. I remembered [...]
