Oulu Best (Worst) Buy

The "Handbook For Survival in Finland" authored by Annikki and Jacob Matthan in 1994 after 10 years of research of life in Finland created a "game" to live well in Finland with a nominal salary. The system helped beat yearly inflation every year. This Blog shows how the system is still valid even in 2008!

Bananas at € 0.95

You can tell that Annikki and I are great banana fans. Today and tomorrow, Euromarket has bananas at € 0.95 per kg.

I usually buy them green and small as we have different stages of taste levels. I like them just turning ripe. Annikki loves them ripe and to give to Hilja, Annikki likes them slightly overripe. The have made a great fruit salad these last few days with diced persimons that I got for less than a Euro per kg last week and served with orange/mango juice blend.

Last week I found a Pirkka brand Orange-Mango juice with no water and also not requiring refrigeration at around € 1.50 per litre. Pirkka is a K-Group brand. So look on the shelves which have the normal orange and apple juices. (There are Orange-Mango juices at around € 1 per litre but these contain water and sugar, plus other preservatives.) The best tasting one is still the Orange - Mango juice blend with milk, which is the closest we have found to Mango Phool!

At Halppa-Halli, I found Metrilenkki Turkey sausages at € 2 per packet. At Tokmanni it is € 2.20 per packet, at PRISMA it is € 2.25 per packet while at Citymarket it is € 2.40 per packet.

Similarly I found Broiler sausage at € 1.50 per packet at Halppa-Halli which is € 1.65 at PRISMA and € 1.69 at Citymarket.
