    Compared to our dutch Euro's this seems a pretty reasonable list, except for the shampoo, (how big is a big one?) and how about those onions???

    Yes, what's up with the onions?? I noticed their high price when I did a couple of scouting trips to 2 stores. As far as the shampoo, bring it with you! Bring it with you!! I think the shelf life is probably a loooong time for something like that!

    The shampoo is a large one, 750ml and the onions were 3 medium/large ones.

    I must admit the onions do seem a bit expensive!!!

    actually the Pantene shampoo in that size is a HUGE one not just a big one!
    (I got one in January and have only just finished it - wash my hair every day!)

    interesting to compare those prices with my Woolworths prices..... not a great deal of difference to be honest - and actually some things cheaper in Woolies.
    Pros and cons I guess like everything else...

    Carol, can you tell us anything more about the price of onions? I use them in so many things, but of course, will subscribe to the "When in Rome" method if necessary! "When in NZ" that is!!
