With the dramatic fall in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Aussie dollar in recent times, our costs have gone up substantially in that period and so we have no option but to increase the price on many of our products with effect 1 January 2016. The vast majority of our products have not had a price increase in the last 5 years and we have always prided ourselves as having the best products at the cheapest prices. Even with these increases, which we will keep to an absolute minimum, we anticipate that we will still be below our competitors on comparable products. Our Loyalty and Volume discounts will still be available, as will our regular monthly specials (such as the SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia currently on a special for this month). We look forward to your continuing support & understanding about these changes.
