Perth, Australia TV ads circa 1987, part 2 of 3

[@RebeccaKenworthy]

I've watched Part 1 and am almost finished Part 2- I can't believe I haven't seen a WA Salvage ad yet or a Big Rock Toyota ad! Both these businesses made multiple memorable advertisements in WA for YEARS!!! I can still hear the catch phrase "WE'RE NOT FANCY, BUT WE CHEAP! EH!!!" 30 something years later like I just heard it earlier today

[@Prognosis__]

Arnotts need to bring back those chocolate mousse cookies 😋

[@MalcolmGordonliveshere]

thanks for posting this nostalgia

[@isabeller6506]

Recognised the Foodland straight away, it's Bentley IGA now.

[@Allangulon]

The Independent Grocers Association was the entities legal name so they just used for all the stores!

[@badass.bob1]

Love these old adds. Very similar to Sydney at the time. Oh, ohh razzamatazz

[@MrGoblin60]

What?! No Naughty Don Rogers ads? He went mad with money but he'd be turning in his grave not getting a mention on a nostalgia site like this!

[@shirleyellis9708]

Cool to see again.👍

When Australia was Australian..had its own identity and wholesomeness.

[@dwblurb]

Pablo instant, unarguably the worst ever sold commercially in Australia.

[@marandahhales7274]

Haha Laughing my head off here haha Dazzlers I remember that one. I notice the name written on the back of the Lotto postcard is Sir Cedric Hardwick of Jutland Parade, Dalkeith. It's as if the actors act as though they are acting and voiceover so verbatim.

I wish Peters would bring back Trio ice cream!!

[@Allangulon]

Now you know where all those IGA stores came from!

[@NathanChisholm041]

IGA is an American company not Aaustralian.

[@Allangulon]

@@NathanChisholm041 Independent Grocers of Australia is owned by the Australian conglomerate Metcash!

[@NathanChisholm041]

@@Allangulon IGA, Inc. is an American chain of grocery stores that operates in more than 30 countries. Unlike the chain store business model, IGA operates as a franchise through stores that are owned separately from the brand. Many of these stores operate in small-town markets and belong to families that manage them. It was founded in the United States as the Independent Grocers Alliance in 1926. The headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois.

Foodland was Better.

'Big Breasted' chicken. lol

[@gutz1981]

This is not 87. Probably 84 You got an XE Giha advertised. (Actually said 1984 when I was typing this.)

[@every1665]

The ad for the fun run also mentions it to be 1984.

[@aus80srockradio94]

@@every1665 It is definitely March 1984. XF in it's second generation would have been the car advertised if it were '87 and the Fairmont Ghia would have included EFI & power door locks and windows STANDARD : )

Jeezuz! Two kilo cheese for $2.99! Where's my time machine?

[@aartman01]

They usually involved some drongo or other yelling shit.

[@billiekeeses]

Anyone else miss TRIO icecream?!

[@Allangulon]

Yeah, you had a choice of three different crappy flavours!

[@andrewdrummond8576]

No local used car dealer trying to sell a dodgy Toyota.

[@eddybulich3309]

I think the year was actually 1984 ;) Sunday April the 8th would make the year 1984.

[@TransportofPerth]

Read the description before commenting.

[@aus80srockradio94]

This is 100% MARCH 1984, not 1987.

[@AdrianHoliday]

Didn't know Perth had Foodland. Thought that was an SA thing.

[@every1665]

All got amalgamated into IGA's.

[@gemfyre855]

This is Foodland and at every Foodland store, you'll find the Foodland owners trying hard to save you more Four Square Four Square come on in we know how you feel, come on in you'll find a square deal Quick Stop Handymart (dawn to dark, dawn to dark) We're open when you run out (dawn to dark, dawn to dark)

[@becsmythe4506]

What ???? Cold Power $2 a kilo !!!

[@shannongraham3055]

$5.04 in today's money

[@rickmurray442]

$9000 for a new Toyota.

[@aus80srockradio94]

Plus "Govt & on road costs". Regardless, $9000 in 1984 is today's equalivent of $29000 (sourced from Inflation Tool) & that is A LOT of money for a boring old Toyota....
