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!

The Humble but Super Onion



Normal onions available in Oulu shops are between 30 and 50 gms a piece. That is the one on the right. The Super Onion which is normally sold only to the restaurants is the one on the left and each one weighs around 225 - 250 gms.









The price of onions in most shops is over € 1 per kg. The price of the super onion fluctuates seasonally. Presently it is at € 0.80 - 90 per kg.

If you want deliveries of the Super Onion (if they are available), it will be sold only to those who are ordering at least one 4.5 kg bag of the best quality Basmati (€ 1.90 per kg) or unbroken Jasmine Rice (€ 1.80 per kg) from the Rice Express.

You must inform Jacob by email at jmatthan@gmail.com or by text message at 041 7067788 latest by Thursday afternoon.

Remember when ordering to give your address and phone number so that the delivery person can ring you when he reaches your door.

Deliveries come in on Friday morning. Home delivery is late on Friday evening or on Saturday.

Annikki prefers the Super Onion not only for Indian cooking but as we eat a lot of fresh salad, she uses a whole Super Onion for a salad for 3 people!
