This is now our fav supermarket chain to source western food ingredients. The one closest to us is 7 bus stops away. Took Kristine and Kimberley there while Grace went to visit a doctor on her coughs. Kristine and Kimberley were allowed to select their respective choice reward for Y15 or less. They did well during the week in executing their daily chores, so a weekend run to hunt for their 'presents' is always fun.
Kristine's pick: refillable pencils Y9.80
Kimberley's pick: foot-shape lollipops Y5.10
Others we jammed my backpack with:
200gm Mozzarella slices Y15
200gm Parmasan shredded Y33
6 french bread sticks Y13.20
500gm instant lasagna sheets Y28
2 cans of peeled tomato pieces Y14.80
600gm lean beef mince Y11
800gm meaty pork bones Y9.80
2ltr Pepsi Y4.70
2ltr Iced Red Tea Y4.70
4x100gm of Lays potato chips Y16.80
I always ask the staff at the bakery to cut the frech sticks into halves so they would fit my backpack. Twice out of thrice the woman there refused, but obliged when I explained my objective. Only once was it straight sailing. Truly pleasant to see someone upholding the motto of satisfying customers' needs. For the rejectors, the same response was 'We dont cut them into halves'.
The halfed french sticks are now partially cut, spreaded with homemade garlic butter, wrapped in alum foil and sealed inside our freezer. We had one for breakfast. No more any need to bring garlic breads from Melbourne!
