You do realise that Bunnings BBQs are for the sole purpose of local community organisations making a buck. There is no requirement to pay Bunnings - so not sure how they are profiting. The organisations are required to meet certain criteria ie bread types, sauce varieties and sausages only. All sales go back to the organisations who only need to cover their costs.
Personally I think it’s a win all round. I get a lovely fresh snag, Bunnings gets me into their sheds and the local community benefits.
I took our 1 year old chocolate Brown lab to Bunnings weekend before last
Our youngest son had her on the leash in the next aisle while I was getting some timber down & I can guarantee that what she left on the polished concrete floor was way more hazardous than some onions
Yep. The one at our Bunnings supports the local Mens Shed. A very worthy cause. Doesn’t differ at all in operation or purpose from the one outside Woolies on a Sat Morning.
Our cricket club had a fund raiser at Bunnings last year, I ordered the sausages from our butcher (who is also a sponsor) and the bread from local bakery, who gave us a discount. The club bought the sauces and a long time club member donated the onions.
It’s the only time I’ve eaten at a sausage sizzle. Other ones I give them a donation.
Because they are raising money. My sons kinder used Coles/Woolies brand snags and bread because they had a set budget to spend. Made over 2k in sales for a day. All money goes back to the Kindergarden for resources/play equipment.
A cheap Coles sausage on cheap white bread is friggin great for a hangover.
I used to live walking distance to a Bunnings back when I used to do stuff on weekends, and we’d regularly walk down there on a Sunday arvo loaded up with all the leftover pocket change from the night before, and just devour as many as possible.
Bunnings doesn’t allow any fancy items, so it has to be the most basic bbq snag sandwich, which lends itself to the cheapest option too.
I wouldn’t normally pick those sausages at a barbie, but when you are cruising through having done some work around the house, slight hunger mixed with the aroma of frying onions makes them the greatest food ever.
slow cooked onion till it caramalises a soft aroma of cinnamon and ground ginger with a big hit of fresh ground black pepper. Bunnings aren’t in the race.
Bunnings charities are scorching the bejeezus out of those onions, they don’t have the time to do it right. A good slow cooked batch take ages to cook and concentrate the flavour but make sure they don’t burn lest they take on a bitter element.
If you don’t keep a vigil at the foot of a mountain in the rain with only the hide of a fresh kill for shelter then onions just don’t taste the way they should.
