Fair enough re petrol ..... I mainly shop at Aldi but there are some brands I prefer to buy from Safeway.



Re Aldi, wht is everyones thought re their fruit and veg ?

My view is that it is not as good quality as other shops.

Now i dont mind blemished stuff but some is just no good quality.

I havent had much prob with them aps, but then I dont buy a that much from them either, I do find their mushies much fresher than Safeway

 

Are you able to grow your own aps?  

Mushies ?

If I wanted to, I could. I have a very dark garage.

I look at it this way with growing things, whats the worst that can happen ?
They die LOL

Nah re growing mushies, well you can if you want to, I dont bother ... other veggie perhaps?

No.

Single bloke, not worth it plus garden isn't much.

I will in the future.

Seems to be very popular these day,most people I know have a veggie patch,they sure taste far better than store bought stuff



Morning all, "Zero dark hundred" here at the moment Smiley LOL

 

Had to take the dog to the vet last night, seems to have a bit of an itchy skin allergy to something

but that should soon be cleared up.

 

Got a couple of small things that should turn up from an ebay buyer today which will be good.

 

Anyway, you's all 'av a good one.

 

 

 

 

Had a bit of a win yesterday when buying a couple of things.

 

For ages, the GF has been eyeing off one of these, a Breville Variable+Temperature+Electric+Kettle

ever since she saw it at my parents house. But she refused to pay $149 for it so kept looking.

Some places have it for around $128.

Anyway, two days ago, her old rice cooker stopped working so did the on line look thing and found this

Breville risotto rice cooker. Found it for $99 (Most are at $120 - 130).

Anyway, when out collecting a book, we stopped in at JB Hi Fi but they didn't have them so stopped in at The Good Guys

who had both of them on hand.

 

Now, I normally don't bother bargaining on price (unless I think it is excessive) but said to the GF I am going to see if

they will do both for $199.

 

Well, after waiting for the sales guys to finish with others, I asked the question, he looked it up and said YES straight away !

(It worked out at about 20% off).

 

So she is a happy lady, new kettle, new rice AND RISOTTO Cooker and I have been given a lecture on what NOT to do

with both of them Smiley LOL  (I still cook rice in a Saucepan ! LOL)

 

And I have now been told that when she buys the new TV and Stereo, I have to go with her to negotiate Smiley LOL

(One benefit of having a thick skin and never being embarrassed)

 

Happy wife, happy life Smiley LOL

 

 

 

Here is a question for you who go shopping more than I do.

 

Do you haggle or negotiate on price for things ?
