    Hi All

    In my household, we go through a fair bit of Tabasco regular and Tabasco jalapeño.

    $8-9 for a 150ml bottle at the supermarket is a bit rich when i bought the same size for $2.60 in walmart 2 years ago.

    Anyone know a good online seller? I'm happy to buy in bulk to get decent shipping rates

    Cheers

    It's also rich that you compare Australian prices for an American product to American prices of the same American product. In Walmart.

    I recall seeing large bottles at Costco, think they were around 750ml-1L for a reasonable price.

    tabasco is not about heat, it is about flavour.

    ALDI occasionally stock the medium-sized bottles for about $5 each IIRC. It seems to be a 2-3 times a year thing and they have it for about a month before running out.

    have you tried franks? can buy gallon bottles from usafoods for $30 and i prefer it over tobasco. A little bit milder than tobasco, but i mix batches with other hot sauces to adjust heat/flavour so my tastes are a little bit skewed.

    I've had my bottle of Tabasco for about a year, it's still half full and I use it semi regularly... do you guys use it as a beverage or something?

    I remember paying nowhere near $8 for the 150ml bottle at Coles, that's probably the cheapest place you'll get it without it being a hassle.

    Bottle also claims practically no calories per serve...

    It's definitely at Costco Sydney, loads in stock. They only stock the big one, was about $9 from memory.
