Perhaps a posting of comparative UK prices would be nice. Or maybe that would just be adding fuel to the inherently unquencheable "Oz is cheaper than the UK"/"Oh no it's not" fire? After all, everybody's shopping basket is different. I never buy meat, for example, so it matters not to me whether it's 1/4 of the price in Oz, and I just have to trust SWMBO's comments on the matter. OTOH the prices of chocolate and dried beans are dear to my heart!

MarkMyWords

Just to be clear, that wasn't a snide swipe at you meat-eaters! Chacun à son goût.

Don't know about UK-OZ but my wife is always saying that things are cheaper in Sydney !!

MarkMyWords

WTF is a Freddo Frog? Not sure I want to know really, I said chocolate not chocolates, fussy b*g*er aren't I!

Uncooked prawns to put on the BBQ or in the wok etc for those in the UK that are used to the little itty bitty pink things smothered in pink sauce that you get in a prawn cocktail .

Mark, I quite often get a block of cadburys for around $3, fear not, you'll be able to afford it .

ABCDiamond

At another local store:

Cadburys Dairy Milk, Caramello or Snack $1.99 for 150gm blocks



Freddo Frogs
and
Green Prawns
seem to confuse the non-locals

Wait till they get served Balmain Bugs for dinner !!

MarkMyWords

Was rather hoping I wouldn't be able to, what with them thar ginormous dental bills that people keep mentioning! Yikes.

DagBoy

Sorry ABC, but I have to stay loyal to my adopted state. I prefer Moreton Bay Bugs

Cheers,

DagBoy

ABCDiamond

Bix
