Cheap Rapadura
« on: April 06, 2011, 06:37:31 am »
Incase you don't know Changing Habits, Changing lives has a special on rapadura at the moment.  2kg for $15.  It costs me $6.50 for 250g at our local health food shop so its a bargin even with postage.

Check out the postage costs because I buy mine through Biodistributors online and get 5kg for $28.90 + postage. Biodistributors are a fantastic company who pay a large % of their profit to charity.  :)

It works out slightly cheaper from Biodistrbutors with postage (for me its the same cost as the rapadura.)

It really is great to shop around.  I could never afford to use rapadura if I had to buy it from a health food store. Biodistributors are based about 30 minutes from my house so I only pay about $6 freight for my entire order (grains, rapadura etc - 30+kg).  They are just wonderful.  :)

Just looking for rapadura that won't break the bank here in Perth - have any of the Perth Thermys found a source by any chance? If I do I will be sure to share it.

I was just checking out the 2brothers.com site and they have Rapadura sugar for $9.50 kg  delivery is a flat rate of $3.50 any where in Perth, has any one shopping with them before?
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

Yes I just got five kilos of it a few days ago. Very quick and efficient service from  2Brothers. I also got raw almonds and shelled pistachios. Would definitely use them again.

Hi there!
what is rapadura and why would you use it... and why this versus something else?

(don't want to miss out on a something that's a bargain, just 'cos I don't know about it.... ;D ;D ;D ;) )
thanks
regards
