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!

Tomatoes, Green Grapes, Mango Juice,....

There are some good offers this weekend.

Tokmanni which has shops in Kaijonharju (Sammonkatu 5, 90570 Oul) near the University and also in South Oulu (Jukolankuja 3, 90420 Oulu), on the route to the Airport has these special offers:

Moroccan tomatoes: € 0.99 per kg
South African Green Grapes: € 2.49 per kg
Mango Juice: € 1.99 per kg

PRISMA (shops in Oulu at Linnanmaa, Raksila and Limingantulli) has these good offers this weekend:

Bananas: € 0.99 per kg
Oranges: € 0.99 per kg
Mandarins: € 1.29 per kg

Those of you are fans of Turkey Metre sausages (called in Finnish as Kalkuna Metrilenkki) should go to Halpa Halli in Toppila (Paakakatu 2, 90520 OULU) where it is € 2.25 per packet compared with € 2.35 in Prisma and higher in Citymarket. Also you can get 7 small flavoured yoghurt tubs for € 2.00, considerably cheaper than from other supermarkets. Although a kilo of cashewnuts is labelled at € 8.90 per kg, unfortunately it has been out of stock for almost two weeks.

There are great second hand furniture offers from some Indians who are shortly leaving Oulu. Beds, mattresses, leather sofas, tables both side and dining, and many more items. For details call 041 - 706 7788. Free delivery will be organised within Oulu but you have to provide the labour at both ends.
