Trip to the city with lunch in the park

December 11th, 2006 at 10:19 am

My hearing aid stopped so I rang the company to check, as it didn’t work after charges of two sets of batteries. So it was a trip to the city to get it fixed. I went in by bus as usual. I only bought a bottle of water walking up to Hearing Aid Place.

Boy! Can a one bottle of water cost so much in 150 metres? I bought it for $1.00 a 600ml bottle at the Chemist, as I walked past the snack bars in the eatery, I saw it for $1.20 when I walked past the newsagent on the next level and it was $1.50 so the price was a extra 50c in 100 metres then up to the street that I was going to another 50 metres and it was $2.50 there. I made my lunch and took it with me today.

BREAKFAST Muesli & Milk Coffee
LUNCH Tuna and Cranberry Sauce Roll Apple Water
DINNER Fillet Steak, Egg, Onion & Tomatoes Coffee

Today’s Full price Tally $2.50
Today’s Savings - $ 1.50
2006 Total $-t-r-e-t-c-h Savings Tally $8305.86

    It totally astonishes me how much water or any kind of drink costs these days. I tuck a bottle of water into my car and then carry it into the mall or other places because I don't want to pay 1.29 to 1.50 for a drink!

    When I was a kid the thought of bottling water and selling it at a high price would have made people laugh in derision! Sadly, people would rather spend money than take a water bottle from home! Can you believe those prioes!Smile
