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!

Oranges on Saturday

Wow, great price for Oranges this Satturday in the KKK Supermarkets.

The competition is hotting up. They will be just € 0.39 per kg compared to the already rock bottom price of € 0.59 at PRISMA.

Just to say that the potatoes in PRISMA at € 0.19 per kg are really good. The skin is clean and very thin. They are also € 0.19 in the KKK Supermarket, but the ones in PRISMA are better quality.

I usually eat my boiled potatoes with the skin as most of the nutrients are in that layer.

These potatoes are great tasting.

Oranges € 0.59 today

Go to PRISMA (Raksila, Linnamaa or Heinäpää) for your oranges - Egyptian, which is just € 0.59 per kg.

I bought 20 kg today.

They also have 5 kg sacks of good potatoes at € 0.95 per sack or € 0.19 per kg.

Not as good as € 0.10 per kg which we had a fortnight ago, but certainly worth a buy if you use a lot of potatoes.

Advertisements in Kaleva

The following two advertisements were in our local newspaper, Kaleva, last Sunday.

As the image files were to large to be handled by the O-India Google Group, I am uploading them here.

Both Electrobit and Powerwave are reasonably sound companies to work for.

Also remember to send me examples of your English written work if you want to be shortlisted for a job as a researcher cum editor in the Information Processing Department of Oulu University. It is a great deal.

Over 25 years ago I started in the same way in the Microelectronics Department in Oulu University and within two years I was the Laboratory Manager and within four years held the Chief Engineer post.

The world is in your hands. :-)
