Shops-what do you miss the most?
Difficult one I know, but having thought long and hard about what I miss (coz there is sooooo much) I think it has to be Asda and its buy one get one free offers! I know other supermarkets do it too, but Asda was always my second home! Lol (family of 5)
I have yet to see stuff on offer here in the same way, ok we get specials, but they aren't that flippin special!
Back in Asda in August, I was gutted at the price of things compared to what I pay here in NZ.
Domestos (for instance) was two for price of one 99p!!!
Here, its around $5.87 for one!
Hubby misses Pot Noodles (yuk), again 2 for 99p.
Just making myself sad aint I?
Buzzy, do they have Asda in Malta or would I need to fly to Uk?

I miss everything actually about UK. It has been a good Xmas here in Perth but with a massive hole in it. Some things will never be the same.
Happy new year to you all

PS I wouldn't fancy ever living in Perth either, so you're right, we are all different. Guess I dont like being remote and cut off from places. We have the moon for that.

No idea how these UK prices compare...Sainsbury's are running a special on Stella Artois,,3 cases for £20.00 (60 bottles)
Somerfields 4 bottle of SE. Australian Garnet Point Shiraz Cabernet for £10.00 minus 5% if you buy 6..I bought 8 bottles and it worked out to £18.00..
Somerfield Mince pies 12 for 99p... Rump Steak reduced to £ 5.59 a Kilo..
12 Xmas crackers for £3.00..Whole meal loaf 49p,,Morrisons milk £1.11 x 4 pints..Eggs 99p dozen..
I mentioned in a previous posting that at our club a pint of Courage Best is £1.70 and all club double spirits are £1.30...

Tesco's. Gotta be Tesco's
It's just that I want a shop where I can buy everything under one roof. From T.V's and paint, to the most important...wine and beer. At Tesco's I wouldn't have to drive up and down the damn Joondalup drive to get what I needed.
I miss Iceland too. I used to stock my freezer up with B.O.G.O.F offer's....and have it all delivered to my house ..free!
