Flights booked. Arrive in Auckland 7:00 on Thursday 5th May, and leave again at 19:30 on Sunday 8th May.

Will see how busy my schedule is, but it will be great to have a meetup with the Auckland chapter of the Hub Bicycle Gang

Sweet deal! Welcome!

 

Hope you guys had a decent flight.

 

Once I find out which hotel I'm in, and how mobile I am, we can arrange a meetup.

 

It'll have to be McD's or Burger King, because eve those meals are like R150 - R200 a pop.

 

Or we can meetup at the nearest Pak 'n Save after 8pm, when the pizza rolls go on special (3 for the price of 1).

 

 

If I have to mention an 'ugly' it has to be food prices. Yes I'm converting, but I haven't been paid yet so I'm still running on Rands.

 

But yeah, R35 for a lettuce. R50 for a 700g pack of tomatoes. And that's all form the cheapest of the 3 main supermarket chains.

Yeah, big rule of shopping here is only buy fruit and veg when in season, unless you're a recent Lotto winner.

Speaking of that... does stuff go off?

 

I bought Milk that had an expiry date of the 13th April. I forgot about it until like the 15th. Was still fine. Gave it a whiff again this morning... still fine (1 weeks after 'expiry').

I did the calculation on Sunday at WW again of your pic you sent the other day (didn't know you had a 700g tomatoes, I only priced a 400g or so) and the comparison isnt THAT bad. You said you paid R170 ish for the items below (I think there must have been a chocolate hiding there somewhere...haha) but the items came to R130 at WW. Not toooo bad.
