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!

Seedless Indian Grapes

Seedless Indian Thomson Green Grapes are € 1.99 for a half kg container at PRISMA. Make sure that you do not see any over-ripe grapes in the plastic container. You can get cheaper Chilean Green Grapes at a couple of other shops at € 1.69 for half a kg.

PRISMA also has oranges at € 0.89 per kg. You should choose your oranges carefully, making sure they are firm and not squashy or squashed. I picked up about 4 kg yesterday, but I had to choose each orange carefully.

Halpa Halli in Toppila has small Ingman Yoghurt tubs at € 0.18 per tub, but you are limited to buying 10 tubs per person. Normal price for this is € 0.29 per tub, so this offer is well worthwhile. You can also pick up the Turkey Metrilenkki sausages at € 2.25 per packet (€ 2.39 at PRISMA) and there is new small broiler frankfurter type sausage (8 per pack) at € 1.55 per 400 gm. The same type of turkey frankfurters are € 1.75 per 400 gm pack in PRISMA. The VIP Orange Juice at Halpa Halli is € 0.59 per litre, about 20 cents cheaper than most other so.

The Valio Mango Juice at Tokmanni is still € 1.99 per litre, about 6 cents cheaper than at PRISMA and 26 cents cheaper than at Citymarket. But I noted that the Tokmanni at Kaijonharju (near the University) is not stocking this product, but it is only available at their Jukkolankuja in south Oulu. I usually buy the entire stock on display when I visit the shop in the morning, so do not be surprised if you do not see any on their shelves.

The finest quality Dehra Dun Basmati Rice that I am offering is till the best and cheapest on the market - at € 1.90 per kg delivered at your home. The smallest size bag is 4.5 kg. You have to email me your requirement along with your address. Deliveries are either on Friday evening or Saturday mornings.
