One of smaller fruit barns, these are old gas stations that have closed down a few years ago as we had a gas station on nearly every corner a few years ago. This one is under new management so new policy and opening bargains too! Some of the fruit & vegetables were of medium quality and others were on the poor quality side but the prices were 500% cheaper than supermarket prices this week. I spent over $19.20 on fruit & vegetables along a Kilo of feta cheese with five months to use it too!
Saving heaps over $36.80

After we went to the shopping centre on the way home and spent heaps there too! Bought a Maglite two torch set saving $62.00 on RRP. Pet food saving $6.40 Groceries saving $12.90

This not all I bought today, how about 3 bales of sugar cane mulch from the farm gate, giving the farmer the money and not hardware store that I normally buy it from even it is a better quality. but in a drought I think that I am helping the farmers and not big business. $12.95 per bale RRP or $3.50 per bale both will do the same job only one has a lot bigger stalks. So saving $28.35 here. My handyman friend was coming up from a cane farm area so he bought up 9 bales for us as DF-D bought the other six bales.

This evening I received a phone call from my sick friend's mother to say that it was not wise to visit the hospital as it has an infection in her ward. She doesn’t have this infection but it’s a gown, mask & gloves kind as in some of our nursing homes that have got it then visitors & staffs have been coming down with it too! I will not go again but leave it to her family to visit from now on!
