I thank heavens I live where I live.

All Aussies know that Sydney has been over-rated, over-priced and over-accentuated, when it comes to this country and that's a shame.It's ruining a once beautiful city.

I'm in WA and I have NEVER paid anything like the prices you mentioned for groceries. I'm in the bush too, so our prices and choices are more limited.

There are bulk places in OZ, Aussie. The Big cheapie bulk buying place that was based on a no-nonsense approach, adapted from a German Model I think, has been in oz for a while now. It started in NSW and Vic I think? I can't remember it's name. Go a googling

Can you get to a markets on a weekend? Well worth the effort.

Don't lose your enjoyment of shopping and food preparation. You will be doing it for the rest of your life, after all

And spoiled or not, Tell that hubby of yours to get off his BUTT!!!!!!
Children are spoiled. Grown men make their own choices.

Sorry had to say it.

for you Aussie girl. Chin up



Noong
Hi Noone, Your might be thinking of " Alders " their a German owned company, i had been told that it was super cheap to shop there, so just out of curiosity we went into town to Alders to have squizz, we were surprised really that it wasn't any were near as good as we were getting told, if you don't like eating nourishing food i suppose it might be ok, cause the main stuff in there was a lot of pastry items, frozen pies, pasties, sausage rolls, pizzas, dohnuts and all the muck, and a very weak display of frozen vegetables, so was the red meat section very limited, no fresh chicken fillets only frozen crumbed crap, the fish was the same, we walked out with nothing and went back to Safeway.

Sunday markets are the best and only way of getting fresh fruit and veg's,
as we live in the seaside/bush and there is a bit of seasonal local grown veg's and fruit around, it tastes 20 times better than Safeway's frozen crap.
all the best
Brian
