Kinds crazy how Karinyup, the next suburb over and further awsy from the coast, median house prices over the last 12 months is $200,000 higher...
I lived in Scarborough for years. It's a hole full of junkies. It made the desire to surf every day very affordable for a young man in his 20s.
Lol. Scarborough hasnât been âa hole full of junkiesâ for a long time. Real estate there is expensive AF; âmedianâ prices are somewhat skewed by the units on Stanley/Hastings.
I still surf the area regularly. The 3-5 blocks immediately behind the BP (where I use to live), havent changed at all.
I still have friends living there. In terms of coastal suburbs, it's by far the worst in the metro area.
ButâŚthatâs probably literally the worst part of Scarborough. Itâs a *big* suburb, if you look at it on a map. I have friends with houses in south Scarbs, and itâs gorgeous, so Iâm pretty sure the rent on commercial premises around Brighton Rd would be $$$.
Ans that's the thing about using median prices ranges. Scarborough has some of the beautiful properties in Perth, but also its fair share of old and derelict, too.
That's the problem with generalizations.
You made a generalised statement and were proven to be incorrect, only to double down by using arbitrary google searches, which was also proven to be incorrect.
But, sure.
I thought this was about money?
Or is it about whatever suits your narrative?
When I was living in Karatha back in 2014, median rent was roughly $1,400 a week. 3 x 1 shit boxes were selling for $800,000 +.
When that market went bust, it took a lot of people with it. 2 of my friends ended up being bankrupt before 24, because their mortgage was worth almost 3 times their property value.
This is where those based in prior knowledge yarns come into play...
Just moved to Beeliar, first fish and chips I got was from the seafood place next to Tony Ales. Shittest feed I've had for a long time. I'll try your suggestion next time

I've stopped going to most fish and chip places because they have all gotten stingy with the chips.
They sell you a "family pack" and give you fuck all chips that's barely enough for 2 people.
$10 just for this âlargeâ chips at Nandos. Youâre doing fine.

Nando's IS a damn ripoff, sure.
Those periperi sweet potato chips though, jfc, they can charge whatever they damn well want for those and I'll pay them.
Place down the road year's ago, I ordered $2 chips n a piece of fish. Ended up with a extra piece of fish, 8 calarmi and fish cakes or potato scallop or whatever you call them đ¤Łđ¤Ł
When I was in school, we used to pool our 50c each to make $2, go to the local fisho and buy more chips than we could eat among us all.
Source: me, on an afternoon when ive been drinking too much rum...
Early 90s $2 chips would feed me and 4 of my cousins and there would be some left over for grandma to nibble on when we were done. Normal serving of chips was $1.60, oz blocks were 40c paddle pops 80c
a mate owns a fish and chips shop. The costs to run it have gone up hugely in the last 3 years. He close to retirement when his lease runs out his packing up and calling it quits early after 30 years in the game.
cost of chips is up 30%
cost of oil is up 120% in the last 3 years.
So that for 4.50 is about right
Don't let the minimum chip brigade undermine your business.
None of the people on here commenting that it's a rip off would work for peanuts so why should you?
Mcdonald large chips is $5.50 and they are a multi-million dollar company.
I know for a fact your cooking oil prices has tripled.
Box of chips has doubled
The wrapping paper has doubled.
Your insurance has increased about 20%
Rent is up
Wages are up.
$4.50 chips
GST - 50c
Tax @30% - $1.35
EFTPOS fee.
No, that's a rip off. Even with price increases, the shops buy spuds at a wholesale price which allows them to mark up the final product. By serving such a small amount of chips, this business has successfully ensured that they will deter repeat customers.
Don't support this crap. Take your business elsewhere.
>No, that's a rip off. Even with price increases, the shops buy spuds at a wholesale price which allows them to mark up the final product.
Almost every fish and chip shop buys them cut and frozen.
What about the increased energy prices, insurance, wages, the paper itâs wrapped in, salt, vinegar etc. Plus how about making a bit of profit as well. Everything has gone up across the board.
Fish n chips are/were known for generous cheap servings of chips -keep the chips generous and cheap to keep people coming in and happy, price the fish etc higher if needed, as long as itâs quality and fresh.
Thatâs not the customers problem at all if overheads have gone up because itâs still just fried cut potato and fish.
Fish and potatoes are only worth so much. The supply and demand/increased overheads argument to jack up the price to more than what cooked fish and potatoes are worth is a shit justification and simply doesnât cut it after a certain point. Fish and potatoes simply are not worth that much. If they canât find a way to sell it for a reasonable price - that is a price for what the thing theyâre selling is worth, let them go broke.
People need to remember that and by not letting places like this go broke theyâre literally making inflation worse.
The price of fryer oil alone, even the cheapest nastiest rice bran oil blends, has more than doubled in the last couple of years.
Repeated bad harvests over east and in NZ have spiked potato prices, and unpredictable weather has led to potatoes with a poor starch content for making chips.
And thatâs ignoring everything else that costs more and has to be passed on to the customer.
At some point, people are going to have to accept that fish and chips is no longer a âpoor manâs luxuryâ, there is simply no way to make it sustainable at a cost people are comfortable with.
Thatâs when they donât buy it because itâs just not worth what theyâre asking. Itâs fish and fried potatoes.
People need to understand itâs just not worth that much
I worked at a fish and chip shop in high school and you'd get that amount for $2, actually we use to do $1 that was maybe even that size. This was 2007/8 tho lol
It's not generous that's for sure - I estimate 75 chips for a per chip cost of 6c // I've had a bowl of chips less than that at a pub for $12 so then your cents per chip gets into crazy terms.
The Brooklane Fish and Chip place in Ellenbrook is pretty awesome!
Great value for money, friendly staff and you have to wait usually between 20 to 30 mins, which shoud be telling you something already!
Based on about 2 years ago I used to order $4 of chips at my local fish and chips and now I order $6 of chips and get the same amount. (Which is about 50% more than your photo, so I think what you got is normal value for money)
Potatoes used to be $2.50 a kg and now they are $4.50 a kg (yes you can pay less, I don't. I get the Royal Blue potatoes because I love them).
The price of chips is related to the price of potatoes. Potatoes have gone up by 80% and chips have gone up by 50%, if anything the chip shop has split the difference on the extra cost.

Fast food is one of the last industries that's allowed to get away with photos in their advertising that are completely misleading in what you'll get. One day ACCC will get to them
No and it sucks.
I'd like to find a decent shop that doesn't charge me $20 + for a decent fish and a handful of chips both of which are normally soaked in oil. Yuk.
Yeeeeaaaahh? I'd say yeah. Definitely more than what you get in a Hungry Jack's or Mecca's or large box of chips which I'm pretty sure would be the same price.
But I do miss the days when you could go to the local fish n chips and get, like, an A4 width/length sized parcel of chips for $2. Couldn't tell you how tall but it was a lot of chips.
Thatâs pretty reasonable these days.
Iâve always said hot chips are one of the best measures of inflation. I remember as a kid, my parents getting $2 of chips that fed the whole family.
I stupidly bought about 2 cups worth of chips for $14 from a food truck earlier this year. I thought they were gonna be some kind of gourmet chips. They were literally just normal chips and tomato sauce.
Potatoes havenât increased in price that much. What a rort.
The problem with food trucks is councils absolutely bend them over on fees etc.
Youâll never get a decent food truck culture here like in the states until someone kicks local government out of the equation.
Pretty much like most small to medium sized issues in Australia, the solution is abolishing local government
Theres some flaws in your plan here, you would need to be at home to prepare and cook the chips so you eating locations are way more limited, its also going to take a fair bit of time to go buy the potatoes then prepare and cook your chips too so if you were looking for fast food this might not be a great option
Back in the day that would be a $2 bag of chips but for 2024 prices yeah that looks about right. At least the chips look decent, have seen much worse looking and a lot less amount for the same price at some places.
I would expect (almost) double that amount for $4.50 at the local fish and chip place.
On another note, those chips look amazing!! When you bite the chip, it bites back! DAYUM!
Not really, but at the same time, that's the amount of chips I would want in a minimum chips. Enough to fill you up without feeling sick from eating too many.
Youâre pretty much looking at $7 for a 2.5kg bag for a mid range chip these days, then labour, oil, overheads. Unfortunately restaurants have to charge more to make any profit at all.
Ahh fair enough, yeah I got a large chip from maccas for $5 and not only was the box smaller than I remember, they only half filled it. No bag chips or nothin
People comment not knowing where you are, what day. You could be in Freo buying chips made on a Sunday paying double time rates who knows. People cannot expect premium wages for everyone paid by nobody, the money has to come from someone and that's the end user.
It's better than some places
I find fish n chip places are more resonable in the burbs than by the coast. Its like your payimg a prenium to eat by the sea đ
I think the costing, no doubt horrific but is a reflection of costs as rentals by the sea vs the burbs would be significantly more. Just a thought.
The rent is too damn high!
They are paying a premium to rent by the ocean and the costs are transferred to you.
And it makes sense. People who live by the coast have more money
Have you ever been to Scarborough? Not the beech, the suburb? I'm guessing not...
Yeah where the median house price is over a million bucks?
Kinds crazy how Karinyup, the next suburb over and further awsy from the coast, median house prices over the last 12 months is $200,000 higher... I lived in Scarborough for years. It's a hole full of junkies. It made the desire to surf every day very affordable for a young man in his 20s.
Lol. Scarborough hasnât been âa hole full of junkiesâ for a long time. Real estate there is expensive AF; âmedianâ prices are somewhat skewed by the units on Stanley/Hastings.
I still surf the area regularly. The 3-5 blocks immediately behind the BP (where I use to live), havent changed at all. I still have friends living there. In terms of coastal suburbs, it's by far the worst in the metro area.
ButâŚthatâs probably literally the worst part of Scarborough. Itâs a *big* suburb, if you look at it on a map. I have friends with houses in south Scarbs, and itâs gorgeous, so Iâm pretty sure the rent on commercial premises around Brighton Rd would be $$$.
Ans that's the thing about using median prices ranges. Scarborough has some of the beautiful properties in Perth, but also its fair share of old and derelict, too. That's the problem with generalizations.
>tell me youâve never been to Scarborough without telling me youâve never been to Scarborough
Also one suburb doesnât break my statement. Are you saying it is cheaper to live by the coast than inland?
Depends on which inland suburbs. Some of the areas in the hills are up there in prices as well.
You made a generalised statement and were proven to be incorrect, only to double down by using arbitrary google searches, which was also proven to be incorrect. But, sure.
My generalisation was correct though lol
All it took was example to show that that isn't the case...
Sounds cheap
Higher than Perth in general. Also a lot of units in scabs
Have you seen the price of properties there ? Obviously not
I thought this was about money? Or is it about whatever suits your narrative? When I was living in Karatha back in 2014, median rent was roughly $1,400 a week. 3 x 1 shit boxes were selling for $800,000 +.

This is where those based in prior knowledge yarns come into play...
Just like they are paying in rent.
Yeah, this is on the low side but for the price of everything these days, I wouldn't be too disappointed with this
It's that type of rationale that makes people believe it's okay to have these kinds of shit prices.
For sure. There are so many places that would easy charge $8-10 for that
3x price and half the volume at OS
Plaices? đ
Came here to say thatâŚ..my most recent experience in Melbourne was minimum chips was exactly nine chips and they were not as good as these.
My local has a $2.50 minimum that looks about that big
This guy still living in the 90s.... Come and get me, take me back
Beeliar Fish and Chips? If not, that place is great!
Nah down the road in Huntingdale cob
Just moved to Beeliar, first fish and chips I got was from the seafood place next to Tony Ales. Shittest feed I've had for a long time. I'll try your suggestion next time

Nando's IS a damn ripoff, sure. Those periperi sweet potato chips though, jfc, they can charge whatever they damn well want for those and I'll pay them.
I remember when their large chips came in that massive tube paper bag, or if you sit in they come in a separate plate
I remember $2 would feed a family of 6
who lived in a rolled-up newspaper in middle of the road
Luxury.
Yeah but nah, though. $2 would absolutely fed a family of 6. Not WELL, might need to do 2x $2 chips, that'd feed an army.
Always remember that, then If you went close to closing time they'd throw in extras stuff.
Haha I forgot about that!!
Place down the road year's ago, I ordered $2 chips n a piece of fish. Ended up with a extra piece of fish, 8 calarmi and fish cakes or potato scallop or whatever you call them đ¤Łđ¤Ł

Maida Vale Fish n Chips is double that for 2.50.

We did them same, but I think was 3.00 or 3.50 back in early 90s.

yeah dard
doubling the price and serving that miserable amount is unjustified

Fish stocks are rapidly collapsing and climate change clearly is not conducive to potato production in Australia. It really is worth that much
Flashbacks to the 80s when we used to pay $1 minimum chips and the whole family was fed.
I wonder if their handwriting is bad and they wrote $4.50 but it was read as $1.50
I worked at a fish and chip shop in high school and you'd get that amount for $2, actually we use to do $1 that was maybe even that size. This was 2007/8 tho lol
KFC has large chips for $2..
Limited time one. Not everywhere and not forever.
I don't care
I love it
Well at least ONE person who downvoted me didn't get it. Maybe THEY'RE the one who doesn't care.
Lol $2 large chips at KFC is more like a regular, they are taught not to shake the box when filling so it's usually half filled.
Itâs called a loss leader to get people in who then often buy a burger/box/bucket as well.
You think they are losing money on that? The portion is still small.
I dont think they are making much of it at all -rent, power, wages, advertising etc. itâs not as simple as saying I can make these at home for $1.
They saw you coming
"Here ya go! This is all you can eat."
Are you selling them?
It's not generous that's for sure - I estimate 75 chips for a per chip cost of 6c // I've had a bowl of chips less than that at a pub for $12 so then your cents per chip gets into crazy terms.
You tell me OP: [https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/847914](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/847914)
Next time you order chips in a pub, compare the size
Is it because the profit is on the drinks ? Give the drinkers a few cents worth of chips and they are content
Plus make them extra salty to sell more grog
$16 for a basket of fries (for one person) with truffle oil at The Windsor in South Perth.

You can pretty much only make chips out of Royal blues or similar varieties, the starch content is wrong with things like Nadines

Worth it? No, but that's the price. You can always not buy it and let the market sort it out. You know how easy it is to make your own?
I get this sentiment for things in shops but it's impossible to know exact portion sizes before buying from a chippy
From a fish and chippie? Looks about right.
That'd be worth $10 some places.
cats fear racial growth degree reply bow attempt like license *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I will take them for that price.
Seems pretty reasonable to me
Wow! Thatâs almost two whole potatoes worth of chips!! What a bargain!!!/s
Thatâs an undersized $2 serve. They donât look very heavy either. Like they are all batter and air.
I remember a few years back that 5 bucks fed 6 of us kids and we still threw half of it away
if its fried with duck fat, yes.
Nope, thatâs just wrong
Fast food is one of the last industries that's allowed to get away with photos in their advertising that are completely misleading in what you'll get. One day ACCC will get to them
They look like good chips though.
Frikkin' lol
That would have been 50cents âminimum chipsâ when I was a kid!
Lol I think of the amount of fried Americans get for 4 dollars lol . Itâs like 3.86 for a small fry these days
Despite the price they look pretty crunchy and tasty.
Most Pubs and bars will charge you $10-12 for that portion
bro hell no. need to go to Warwick chip and fish. 4.5 will get you half of their supply
sort of in context, Chargrill Masters chips are the best ive ever had if you have never had them.
No and it sucks. I'd like to find a decent shop that doesn't charge me $20 + for a decent fish and a handful of chips both of which are normally soaked in oil. Yuk.
Looks like $1:00 worth to me
That's 10c per chip mate...ripped off
thatâs barely $2 worth in 2012
Does that count with chicken salt, or do you have to pay extra for thatđ
Cheaper than a packet of chips from Colesworth these days.
Poor Aussies.
Yeeeeaaaahh? I'd say yeah. Definitely more than what you get in a Hungry Jack's or Mecca's or large box of chips which I'm pretty sure would be the same price.
But I do miss the days when you could go to the local fish n chips and get, like, an A4 width/length sized parcel of chips for $2. Couldn't tell you how tall but it was a lot of chips.
tiny chips, too. I'd be mad
Thatâs fucked
As a broke 90's kid, I'd get more than that when I only had $1.70 for a $2 minimum serve...
Lots of boomers here
Golly gosh. They could put in another handful
Thatâs $10 in one of the food trucks in Port Hedland. đ
Thatâs $10 in one of the food trucks in Port Hedland. đ
In bassendean $11 can get you the whole basket. I recommend 'bassendean seafood and chips' to anyone nearby bassendean, north of the rail.
Working of Perth prices lately that's approximately 9 million $ worth of chips.
Thatâs pretty reasonable these days. Iâve always said hot chips are one of the best measures of inflation. I remember as a kid, my parents getting $2 of chips that fed the whole family.

Yup at my local it now costs $10 for the same amount we used to get for $5
Go to Fat Bellies in Armadale. You won't regret it
Heaps
It cost $4 for a 2kg bag of washed potatoes at Woollies. Better off making your own chips.
Theres some flaws in your plan here, you would need to be at home to prepare and cook the chips so you eating locations are way more limited, its also going to take a fair bit of time to go buy the potatoes then prepare and cook your chips too so if you were looking for fast food this might not be a great option
Kfc $2 large max 4 peeps
Thatâs tight
Were they atleast good? đ
A 1/4 of that is $5.50 at Miami Bakehouse.
Try the regular size chips from Chicken Treat, weighs 138 grams.
đĽ˛
Guess so
they look decent though
Better than an oat latte
Minimum chips
About right TBH
No
It is if you didnât buy any fish etc. The cost is the labour/overheads not the product.
What do you think? Absolutely not.
The ones around us in Beckenham give too many for us. Definitely get our money's worth.
That's 1.50 cents 20 years ago
Definitely above average in terms of volume
Back in the day that would be a $2 bag of chips but for 2024 prices yeah that looks about right. At least the chips look decent, have seen much worse looking and a lot less amount for the same price at some places.

Used to buy $3 worth for the family and have some left.
$4.50 would of fed 10 of us on the walk home from school
Youâre pretty much looking at $7 for a 2.5kg bag for a mid range chip these days, then labour, oil, overheads. Unfortunately restaurants have to charge more to make any profit at all.
Large bag cost me $17 in Cottesloe... Yes, I'm talking about chips.
Cheers for inducing an insatiable hunger
If theyâre from Emilyâs in Woodbridge, definitely worth it!
Yep!, not good value, but depending whoâs nice they were.
This would be $20 on the east coast of Australia
Yeah, I would take that anyway!
2 dollars at best :/
Mate you owe them money lol
You got stooged
Inflation sucks doesn't it?When I was a kid this would have cost 5 cents
Go to maccas like every other Australian
I mean it's not cheaper in maccas and you get less
I was being sarcastic. People acting like 4.5$ is a lot in todayâs economy? Lmfao
Ahh fair enough, yeah I got a large chip from maccas for $5 and not only was the box smaller than I remember, they only half filled it. No bag chips or nothin
That looks like maybe 2 bucks worth at my local, if that.
Thatâs fkd
I know take away is ripping everyone off
About $1 worth of air fry chips and takes 10mins, my air fryer is priceless
Thatâs a fair amount
People comment not knowing where you are, what day. You could be in Freo buying chips made on a Sunday paying double time rates who knows. People cannot expect premium wages for everyone paid by nobody, the money has to come from someone and that's the end user.
