Most showbags fall into the $10-$20 range. This is where you'll find all the classic Aussie favourites: Bertie Beetle (although be warned, the little bugger seems to be getting pricier each year!), Freddo Frog, and a plethora of lolly options. Remember: comparison is key! Some showbags might be overflowing with goodies, while others might leave you feeling a little shortchanged.
The High-Roller Havens:
For those who like their showbags with a side of exclusivity (and a hefty price tag), there are a few showbags that break the $30 barrier. These often feature brand name goodies, limited edition items, or even vouchers for experiences. Just be sure you're prepared to shell out the big bucks before you hit that stall!
Pro Tip: Showbag Savvy Secrets!
- Do your research! Many showbags have online listings that detail their contents. Scope them out beforehand to avoid any sugary surprises (unless that's your thing).
- Think outside the box (or bag)! While showbags are a tradition, don't forget about the many food vendors offering delicious treats. You might score a better deal on a Dagwood Dog than in a Dagwood Dog showbag.
- Bulk up with buddies! Sharing a showbag (or two) is a great way to sample a variety of treats without overloading on sugar (or your wallet).
