Hi all,
Thought someone might be interested in my husband's shopping excursion yesterday. He is in NZ for a month (in Otaki, on the Kapiti Coast about an hour north of Wellington) outfitting our kitchen and overseeing it's remodeling (love the house but one cabinet only just won't do!) Yesterday he picked up the following items: basic microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker (no clock on it, no automatic turn-off), and electric teakettle for a total of $190 NZ at the Warehouse. Our dear Kiwi friends took him there to outfit the kitchen, but the selection was, ah-hum, lacking to say the least. My husband is so minimalist himself, that it worked out fine. But would I have said "Take me to your high-end goods! Take me to your bells & whistles!" I don't know. Anyway, we can't take the stuff we have like that, and he will need these items to make meals around the construction. Today he is going back to the Post Office - to buy a fridge!! Yes, who knew the Post Office carried appliances?!? And I thought the only extra shopping I could do at the Post Office was for collector stamps! Will keep you posted on the fridge. Any other questions I'll be glad to ask him. :cool
