Expensive Luxuries
As some of you know i am based in Cyprus untill our move to OZ.
The other day while shopping the kids asked for some Heinz baked beans,Not an unreasonable request or so i thought.
after the conversion these cost £1.10 a tin
Would you buy such luxuries or stick to local brands ??

'Own brand' beans, found in 'Coles' and 'Woolies', 35c per can, great for a nights campin' out under the stars and taste no different to Heinz ( unless you're Jamie Oliver ).
Dunna stress, it's all here!!!!!
