Some great offers

I am sorry that I have not been informing you of the Best Buys in Oulu for some time.

Yesterday was a great day as I went to Tokmani, which are the old Säästokauppa shops. I got large lemons, Spanish, at just Euro 0.10 per kg. Also Egyptian Oranges were Euro 0.89 per kg as they had made a mistake in their newspaper ad. It was supposed to be Euro 0.99 per kg. And one more great buy yesterday from the same shop was 5 small tins of either Sliced or Chunk Del Monte Pineapple for just Euro 1. The newspaper ad had said it was 5 tins for Euro 2, which was a mistake!

Over the past few months I have had several great buys. I got a 250 GB La Cie Hard Disk for back up purposes for just Euro 69.

If you are to buying a washing machine just now, go to Citymarket which has a great offer if you have a PLUSSA card. A Zanssui washing machine costing normally over Euro 400 is being offered at Euro 289.

Today Bananas are just Euro 0.99 per kg at Citymarket.

If you want absolutely fresh herbs and vegetables from Thailand, place an order with the Pailin Restaurant (Kenttätie 9, Kasarmi Area; Tel: 08 - 3116919) by Sunday and you will get your order on the following Friday when they are flown in from Thailand.

Last week I bought fresh coriander leaves and basil - and the curry that Annikki made with these was just out of this world.

This week I have ordered fresh ripe papaya and also ripe mangoes, besides the herbs.

But you can get almost any vegetable you fancy through this service.

I have been enjoying fresh Indian seedless Thompson grapes at just Euro 1.69 for 500 gm from Euromarket. They cost Euro 1.99 at the KKK market at Joutsensilta.

I hope to keep this page up-to-date in future - so stay tuned.
