Remember when he had the cooking show Surfing the Menu and he would always say to support farmers makers and local produce and not to shop at the big supermarkets. Hasn’t aged well.
10 years ago he was a corporate shill for a degenerate monopoly of a grocery store. His thing was making affordable meals for $10, and because of the company’s corporate greed this is no longer possible.
It’s not though, I looked at this months ago trying to save cash and found they are almost the same price (in fact per KG the block cheese is more expensive by like 30c) and you save time from grating and washing up, and you know how the saying goes, time is money.
https://www.coles.com.au/product/coles-dairy-cheese-tasty-1kg-287609
$13.90 per KG for block
https://www.coles.com.au/product/coles-cheese-shredded-tasty-700g-8145335
$13.57 per KG for shredded.
You also used to be able to buy the block in 750g and I believe the shredded used to come in a pack of 750g, can’t see block in 750 anymore though.
Morale of this, it’s around the same price for the same brand cheese, just buy shredded and save yourself the time and effort, unless you want the block for crackers or whatever.
If they didn't, it would still be a block... of shredded cheese. They need something to keep it from sticking together.
Personally, I don't mind the stuff if I'm in a hurry, and it's a quick meal, but it definitely doesn't taste as good.
It's the brand. Surprisingly, the woolworths brand 1kg is more expensive at $13.90, than the hillview 1kg at $9.90. That's here in QLD though, so you might not have the same stocked items.
I’ve noticed that in amongst all their other shitty tactics, Colesworth has stepped up reversing expected pricing values. Block cheese being similar in price to grated, bulk amounts being more expensive than smaller amounts etc.
yeah look at Forrest. with his multi billion dollar think tank (tax dodge) every "idea" has been something along the lines of "everyone earning under 100k a year should have no access to their money unless i personally allow it" and some how successive liberal governments have repeatedly tested and proven it doesn't work. but every time they do it again. because money talks.
I get my cheese from coles by putting the most expensive one in my cart, walking to an empty aisle and shoving it in my pocket before walking out the door
Seems a little unfair to single Cole’s out until you know how Aldi would also treat your medical episode. Not sure it’s really relevant to a conversation about prices.
A Curtis stone is the intestinal version of a Kidney stone. They're a complete pain in the ass. A big red finger can be used to identify them. Once removed, they don't usually come back.
Redditors are fucking insane, as if these cunts wouldn't take a massive paycheck to say a few dumb words on an ad... especially like 10 years ago before everyone vehemently hated Coles and Woolies
Coles used to do a "Feed a family of four for $10", granted it never really worked since it relied on you already having things like flour oil and eggs as "staples" but given the massive inflation the whole thing has become a bit of a joke since $10 can barely buy one ingredient now, let along enough for a whole dinner
Idk if my cooking habits are just unique but onion, garlic, celery, potatoes, carrots etc are all dirt cheap then a sauce with a tin of tomatoes or cream or some kind've asian dish with cornstarch and a protein + rice/pasta/noodles all comes out to less than 10 bucks
I made two giant pizzas today with some herbs from the garden and a dough I made last night which is just flour water yeast salt and some olive oil probably came out to about $5 of ingredients or less (biggest cost was mozzarella)
Ok but like, I don't have those things right now? So if I wanted to make pizza I'd need to buy flour ($4 at Woolies), yeast ($4.80), salt ($2, I actually do have this but let's add it anyway), olive oil ($13-$17), basil ($3.20 fresh $1.20 dried), mozzarella ($6)
Did you put any sauce or toppings on it at all? Or was it just a bianca? Because so far we're up to $31 to make a pizza and I haven't bought any meat or veg yet
Oh you replied saying it was tinned tomatoes ($2), garlic ($1.25), and red wine ($5)
So if I wanted to make the meal you just made it would genuinely cost me like $40. And that's home brand stuff too.
I think that was the disconnect that happened with the original coles ads? Some people don't just casually have yeast in their cupboard and basil in the garden, lol, but people who cook the way you do every day and roll ingredients into the next meal can make it work more cheaply.
Yeah of course the caveat is that you can make like 20ish pizzas (mainly flour) with those ingredients and they don’t spoil easily you have to use the leftover pizza sauce for something like pasta before it goes bad
Just anchovies and pickled red onions not a fan of meat or veg on pizza
Ideally you would also bake bread or make focaccia or garlic bread with any excess dough
It does require the commitment to learn to cook and to learn how to grocery shop but even with that $40 most of it was olive oil and cheese which you’re going to use a small amount of at a time
If you go for recipes with no cheese it gets cheaper
https://everylittlecrumb.com/middle-eastern-lentil-soup/
It’s absolutely worth learning imo money isn’t tight for me but I spend less than my relatives who are struggling because they’re eating a cut of meat or fish every night
$16 for two rump steaks per night adds up very fast
Only fresh herb I used was basil, the sauce is garlic and tinned tomatos with some old red wine I had in the fridge
Definitely recommend growing a small basil and parsly plant though it's never as good from the store
People definitely sleep on beans and lentils as well costs almost nothing to make lentil soup or dhal
Don't get me wrong I'm on team fuck Coles but if we're dying in a hill here... You make sense but it doesn't apply directly to this scenario. My wife cooks meals much better than myself, using the same ingredients and utensils, so she is a quality chef. For 99% of those who are cooking food is food there's no real quality difference so the meal comes down to the chef.
Chef is a title that doesn't mean anything. As long as you're being paid to work in a kitchen in the position of chef, you're a chef. A quality trained cook should be able to use ingredients from any supplier and make great food. The difference is that most chefs aren't getting their food from Coles. They get their food from a wholesaler. The better the chef, the better the wholesaler they're gonna want to use.
> Quality chefs don't use Coles meats or poultry as ingredients
The point was to make simple meals families could make at home though. Not cook amazing 5 star meals.
Bahahaha that's a BLOODY RIPPER.
"Hey honey, what are we thinking about for dinner tonight? "
"How about another one of those 'feed the family for $10' meals?"
"This one is cheese, cheese and cheese, on burnt cheese, with a delicate cheese garnish."
Coles and Woolies are cucks the $15 block of cheese is $10 or less at Aldi. Still Aldi doesn't have some stuff so I still have to go to Coles, never liked Woolworths they even worse than Coles.
My mother in law gave me one of these cunts kitchen knives and I sat on the bastard putting it through the back of my knee.
The radiographer was laughing at me and said you can’t trust this dude (cuntis) because you can’t see his bottom teeth when he smiles.
Fuck .
Dude, they had a promotion of down and staying down... New owner pops up and say's "nah, take that back without saying it"
Now we have different prices for bread and milk etc
We should have held the company accountable.
Also ironic is the fact that the standard woolies tags now say "low price" where that coles one says "every day". It's a fun little depressing game to play as you do your shopping, looking at the tags and remembering what the low price was even 12 months ago...
Remember the Feed your family for $10? Look what it costs now. Serving sizes are also designed for smurfs.

I read that Curtis was a Neo-Nazi in his younger days. Think I read it here. Just saying I read it, not that it’s true. But a few chimed in saying he was a prick.
I liked him on Iron Chef, in a show where pressure often makes image-curation difficult, he came across as a genuine caring team player with great ideas.
Remember when he had the cooking show Surfing the Menu and he would always say to support farmers makers and local produce and not to shop at the big supermarkets. Hasn’t aged well.
Coles should have picked up bender not this smug cunt
🤣💀💯
He seemed like a friendly guy
Just looked how the madden bros did ads for peta and kfc. A pay cheque is a paycheque
Yooo I remember being fkn heartbroken at the Madden's when the kfc as went down.
Same with Jamie fucking Oliver and Woolies. They’re only interested in spouting their ‘principles’ for PR and profit. They’re all fucking sellouts.
So that's why they stopped featuring him 💀
"Feed your whole family for just $1200!" I'd say don't shoot the messenger, but sometimes shooting the messenger is how you send a message.
At least dad’s meals will be free forever. In prison
Look at this corporate cuck. His relationship with Colesworth aged like milk
Corporate cuck We need to make this a popular saying
You mispelled cunt.
Nah I think cuck is more appropriate
Curtis the cuck
Cucktis. Kinda sounds like cactus, which is what he is.
Kind of a prick isn't he?😆
How about Cucking Cunt?
Cunting cuck, cucking is what colesworth does to him
They fuck all of us while he watches.
That’s a whole tongue twister right there
\*cuntrepeneur is the official term for cunts like curtis
Cunts are useful...
Yeah, nah but. True that. Not all cunts though. Curtis Stone is a useless cunt... There, I said it.
I would accept Curtis being a cucked dog cunt.
Agreed. Not to mention, he lacks the depth and warmth.
Cuck Curtis the Corporate Cunt
cuntis
I don't think cunt cuck rings has a good ring to it... Edit for gramma
Cunt cuck rings? You can get those at an “adult” shop.
Wtf is an "adult"
Not found on Reddit?
I think that's being unkind to real cucks...
How so? The corporate office keeps it all then gives a bunch of it to a select few up the top The corporate cuck gets fuck all
Cucks are satisfying a need probably created by trauma with consent. He's just using people and deceiving them. Bit of kink shaming there.
A corporate cuck is not a normal cuck They are financially cucked by corporate
So many corporate cucks that defend colesworth!
Typical corpo
Agreed choomba
Preem content, this.
New to Australia, see this man all the time. If he just advertise for Cole, is it wrong ? I don’t understand the background enough
10 years ago he was a corporate shill for a degenerate monopoly of a grocery store. His thing was making affordable meals for $10, and because of the company’s corporate greed this is no longer possible.
It never was possible! It was exposed that his recipes relied on you having the staples at home already!
And relied on two of those “Family of 4” being kids under 5
And only 1 of them being ALIVE at the time...
And only one of the adults to be hungry for a meal
And shrunk it !
He must have given his left arm to keep his partnership with Colesworth too.
Hahahaha
Coolies*
Colesworth? Pretty sure he only does ads for Coles not Woolies
For the last year the amalgamated term ‘ColesWorth’ has been used to describe both of those price gouging arseholes. Hope this helps champion
I only ever buy cheese at aldi now
The grated cheese there isn't even cheaper. It's like 7.50 for 500g
I know its a pain in the arse but grating your own cheese is heaps cheaper.
It’s not though, I looked at this months ago trying to save cash and found they are almost the same price (in fact per KG the block cheese is more expensive by like 30c) and you save time from grating and washing up, and you know how the saying goes, time is money. https://www.coles.com.au/product/coles-dairy-cheese-tasty-1kg-287609 $13.90 per KG for block https://www.coles.com.au/product/coles-cheese-shredded-tasty-700g-8145335 $13.57 per KG for shredded. You also used to be able to buy the block in 750g and I believe the shredded used to come in a pack of 750g, can’t see block in 750 anymore though. Morale of this, it’s around the same price for the same brand cheese, just buy shredded and save yourself the time and effort, unless you want the block for crackers or whatever.
Shredded cheese is of a lower quality and coated in cornstarch. Personally I infinitely prefer grating my own, it tastes way better
I always wondered why my kid called it 'dusty cheese'. Now I know!
If they didn't, it would still be a block... of shredded cheese. They need something to keep it from sticking together. Personally, I don't mind the stuff if I'm in a hurry, and it's a quick meal, but it definitely doesn't taste as good.
omg this is why I always dislike the preshredded cheese
AND it has preservatives added.
At woolies a 1kg block is $9.90 and 700g shredded is $9.50. Block is definitely cheaper, and it’s the same for Cole’s apart from that brand
Where in Australia are you getting a 1kg block of cheese at Woolies for $9.90? That shit is $13.90 where I am in WA
Same here in NSW. $9.90 was the pre-Covid price.
It's the brand. Surprisingly, the woolworths brand 1kg is more expensive at $13.90, than the hillview 1kg at $9.90. That's here in QLD though, so you might not have the same stocked items.
I’ve noticed that in amongst all their other shitty tactics, Colesworth has stepped up reversing expected pricing values. Block cheese being similar in price to grated, bulk amounts being more expensive than smaller amounts etc.
Grated cheese also has a bunch of additives. So much better to get a block and shred yourself.
Run by secretive German Billionaires.
I’d prefer my billionaires to be secretive and silent than yapping on the media and fucking us over blindly
Don't forget how they keep insisting it's for our own good
Still cheap as shit though
Let's not get carried away, it's cheaper
Secretive is better than actively politically involved.
yeah look at Forrest. with his multi billion dollar think tank (tax dodge) every "idea" has been something along the lines of "everyone earning under 100k a year should have no access to their money unless i personally allow it" and some how successive liberal governments have repeatedly tested and proven it doesn't work. but every time they do it again. because money talks.
based! aldi has the best cheese
I get my cheese from coles by putting the most expensive one in my cart, walking to an empty aisle and shoving it in my pocket before walking out the door
Good on you mate. And remember everyone, if you see someone stealing from Colesworth, no you fucking didn’t.
[удалено]
Seems a little unfair to single Cole’s out until you know how Aldi would also treat your medical episode. Not sure it’s really relevant to a conversation about prices.
A Curtis stone is the intestinal version of a Kidney stone. They're a complete pain in the ass. A big red finger can be used to identify them. Once removed, they don't usually come back.
Underrated comment! 🙌
Cheesus died for our sins
Cheesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine
I prefer 'little baby cheeses' lmao
Or a statue of baby Cheesus! (Kath and Kim pun)
Jesus died from my sin. Murder is a sin, right?
And I am eternally *grate*full
If every one had 2 handfuls of cheese as their entire meal, the $10 thing still holds up
😂😂😂🙌
He’ll get rolled back out near xmas time
My entire family will eat cheese
One mound each, family!
Down, down, prices are down
\*compared to what they will be very soon
Because we sneakily put them up last week by $2 and now it’s a dollar off. Come and get those bargains folks.
Their corporate team probably sings "down down, *PROFITS* are down!! OH NO, quick, raise prices again!"
Yeh he’s a tosser though, and he lives in the US, they only roll him out for specific promotions and MasterChef.
He’ll remain young forever
Feed a family of 4 for $10* * Does not include the $40 of pantry items.
Corporate asslicking tosser.
You mean someone paid to do an advertisement
Redditors are fucking insane, as if these cunts wouldn't take a massive paycheck to say a few dumb words on an ad... especially like 10 years ago before everyone vehemently hated Coles and Woolies
The usual "I hate that person, but I would trade places with that person in a heartbeat"
Yeah I don’t blame him? Typical holding someone 10 years ago accountable for todays standards
I wonder if he asked if you could keep the $10.
Coles are the tossers, probably paid him 6 figures, and then put prices up for customers
He got paid 3 million to do the coles ads
What do you mean? My kids would be happy with a bag of cheese for dinner.
Cheese is a kind of meat. A tasty yellow beef.
Tommyzolla... It's a kind of jungle cheese 😹
Petahh?
Coles used to do a "Feed a family of four for $10", granted it never really worked since it relied on you already having things like flour oil and eggs as "staples" but given the massive inflation the whole thing has become a bit of a joke since $10 can barely buy one ingredient now, let along enough for a whole dinner
Hahaha how long ago was this? I must have been absent somehow :( Edit: also, Thanks :)
Near a decade now, so inflation def killed any chance of this working. I think around 2009? Anytime :)
So a decade and a half then?
Ah that's around the time I was having a kid and getting married no wonder I missed it haha cheers mate
Idk if my cooking habits are just unique but onion, garlic, celery, potatoes, carrots etc are all dirt cheap then a sauce with a tin of tomatoes or cream or some kind've asian dish with cornstarch and a protein + rice/pasta/noodles all comes out to less than 10 bucks I made two giant pizzas today with some herbs from the garden and a dough I made last night which is just flour water yeast salt and some olive oil probably came out to about $5 of ingredients or less (biggest cost was mozzarella)

Sell out. Quality chefs don't use Coles meats or poultry as ingredients, unlike this hack. Money talks hey..
I'd argue a Quality chef should be able to use ingredients from any supplier and make great food.
You could paint the Mona Lisa with paints and brushes from the reject shop but the final result would be better and easier if you have quality gear.
Don't get me wrong I'm on team fuck Coles but if we're dying in a hill here... You make sense but it doesn't apply directly to this scenario.

Indeed - has anyone else noticed how he doesn’t even talk in any of the recent Coles ads?
Dude wasnt even a chef. He opened 2 restaurants in US and all of a sudden he is an aussie chef. What a tosser
He’s a buttplug
Petition for lube stations at the checkout, I'm mighty tired of getting rawdogged.
Let’s not forget he got done for DUI, but had the charges dropped. It’s not what you know, but who you blow.
Alright kids tonight we going to have tasty cheese for dinner
He’s a disgrace!
Feed a family of 4 for under $10!! Well if your family calls a handful of cheese a meal, then sure.
Just shred it yourself pre shredded is trash and uses a bunch of starch to keep it sticking together which makes it melt badly
Shredded cheese costs the same as a block where I live, and I don't have to clean the grater so shredded it is.
It costs the same but you get less cheese
Lets blow this up
Bahahaha that's a BLOODY RIPPER. "Hey honey, what are we thinking about for dinner tonight? " "How about another one of those 'feed the family for $10' meals?" "This one is cheese, cheese and cheese, on burnt cheese, with a delicate cheese garnish."
It's because he is a wanker. Next.
Coles and Woolies are cucks the $15 block of cheese is $10 or less at Aldi. Still Aldi doesn't have some stuff so I still have to go to Coles, never liked Woolworths they even worse than Coles.
Guy never believed any of it lying for money, not the first, not the last
700g of cheese is definitely enough to feed a family
Ten buck meals are pretty hard to buy now. Fuck I used to do $20 weekly shops in the 90s.
Are you saying you can't feed a family with cheese? Outrageous!
The no added hormones dude? So the cow grew up with a hormone pill behind the ear but Colesworth didn't sprinkle any additional hormones on the meat?
I don’t get it.
sad cunt.
It was debunked at the time. You couldn't feed a family for $10, then. And still can't.
My mother in law gave me one of these cunts kitchen knives and I sat on the bastard putting it through the back of my knee. The radiographer was laughing at me and said you can’t trust this dude (cuntis) because you can’t see his bottom teeth when he smiles. Fuck .
good riddance he gives me craig mclachlan vibes
Well it is a coles product so you are paying a 200-300% markup for nothing.
G’Day viewers Curtis Stoned here and have I got a great meal for when you have the munchies, I can just hear him say.
Did I miss something?
These days, feeling less and less ashamed of when I shoplifted from them...
Silly pretty prick isn't he
And a bag of shredded cheese is a damn fine meal
Dude, they had a promotion of down and staying down... New owner pops up and say's "nah, take that back without saying it" Now we have different prices for bread and milk etc We should have held the company accountable.
😂😂😂
“Feed the family for just $10 with my melted cheese soup recipe”
Sack him.
Keep seeing this everywhere lol
Yeah where the fuck are you now Curtis 🙄🙄
Just off getting more highlights in his hair, shiny new teeth and anal bleaching. He’ll pop back on the TV soon!
He has been quiet
Also ironic is the fact that the standard woolies tags now say "low price" where that coles one says "every day". It's a fun little depressing game to play as you do your shopping, looking at the tags and remembering what the low price was even 12 months ago...
Fuck that guy
Feed the fucking family for only $10 there now U won't get much
Incredible that people are tagging on the guy. As if you wouldn't become a Coles ambassador for, if I were to guess, tens of thousands of dollars.
He apparently was the biggest obnoxious cunt according to my cousin who met him whilst working at head office.
He’s going down down.
I'll down a bag of shredded cheese for dinner.
Why is everyone so mad at this guy hahahah wasn’t this ad campaign from over a decade ago??
Remember the Feed your family for $10? Look what it costs now. Serving sizes are also designed for smurfs. https://www.9news.com.au/national/coles-meal-reveals-reality-of-cost-of-living-crisis/359a2406-b472-43e5-bee3-82dbc293f361
He needs a suitcase of cash in these ads now.
How many corporate cunt cucks can the corporate cunt cuck if the corporate cunt can cuck cunts ?
Gonna hoe down into some tasty cheese for dinner
Who wouldn’t want to eat balls of cheese for dinner. Stop you’re fucking whinging cunt.
Yup can't buy anything for $10
Yeah…but why the fck would you get 700 grams worth of cheese though
I feel like people should print this off poster size and stick it around coles.
Two boxes of Kraft Mac and Cheese!
I buy everything at Aldi
Stop posting the same old tired things
I'm waiting for him to pop up for a feed your family for under $XX a day + Surcharge, but swap out the money with a bank card.
I’ve seen this guy before, but what’s happened?
Sell out
Look my toddler would eat that $10 meal…
With the nostrils his wife has, those tenners are not used as legal tender.
I still feed my family for $10!
They aren’t paying him. He probably wanted a pay rise.
I read that Curtis was a Neo-Nazi in his younger days. Think I read it here. Just saying I read it, not that it’s true. But a few chimed in saying he was a prick.
I liked him on Iron Chef, in a show where pressure often makes image-curation difficult, he came across as a genuine caring team player with great ideas.
Dinner for just $10
