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???

[SoCal Gal]

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!
:cool

[Jules]

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!!!

Might have to start an onion farm then eh? :mrgreen:

[leslie]

prices are looking quite acceptable. then again, if pantene is $18 what the heck is kerastase?

[Carol]

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...

[SoCal Gal]

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!!
:cool

[Carol]

I dont realy take much notice to be honest.... ops: ops: ops:
If I need them i buy them...you know?

Although they doo seem a bit pricy there....
Will go and have a look at Woolworths online...
hang fire..

[Carol]

They are $1.49 per kg
Or a prepacked bag of 907g of organic ones are $4.99



Jules....you've been done I think!
