Hi. First of all, I'll just let you know I'm in Australia, so this is Australian currency. Bunnings has boxes of 5 grids for $8 to $8.50, and I was wondering if you guys approve of the price.

Its the average Bunnings price, do you have a K-Mart in the area? Their grids cost a bit more but are soooo much better quality. Bunnings are covered with some type of plastic which apparently tastes very nice. The pigs chew it to bits, exposing the metal underneath which rusts extremely quickly.

You'd need to double check this, but from memory, K-Mart cost $50 for 26 grids, their grids are slightly larger (I think they are 37 cm) and made of some type of metal that dosn't rust and in my opinion looks nicer.

Thanx Em. I tried ringing K-mart, but there was no answer... :confused: The one closest to me is the one in campbelltown, so I'll try again... Just out of cuiosity,if the bunnings are coated in some kind of yummy plastic, what are the k-mart grids coated in?

You could also try "The Reject Shop", they seem to have plently right across Victoria, but I'm not sure about NSW, they are $30 for 6 cubes or umm 23 grids (I think)

Kmart ones are like $40 I think.

J_Jay we dont ahve a walmart in Australia, if someone did buy from walmart it would cost a lot more because you'd have to pay for shipping.

Grrr, the K-mart we're near doesn't appear to have the grids. Could someone in NSW please tell me where they get their grids? Preferably the K-mart ones?

Umm there's a K-Mart somewhere in Newcastle, I use the one in Maitland. Sorry, I think both are too far away for you.

Those stores aren't located in Australia, why someone would post it is beyond me, when it clearly states that your looking for grids in Australia.

Bunnings, Kmart, Big W and The Reject Shop are really the only places to purchase them in Australia.
