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!

Indian Grapes at Euro 1.18 per kg

It may be a long drive to Kempele, but certainly worth the effort if you are a grape lover.

This new K- Supermarket is in the centre of Kempele, and you should take the old road to Kempele (not the E4 highway).

As this is a brand new K- Supermarket, look around as you may find several over good offers.

It was a bit crowded yesterday as everyone flocks to a new shop. Will not be so bad today.

Indian grapes, green, are just Euro 0.59 for a 500 gm plastic container (Euro 1.18 per kg!!). The offer is open today and tomorrow as well. A 24 can carton of KOFF beer is only Euro 17.90, one of the best offers this year for beer drinkers.

Three bars of Fazer chocolate for Euro 4 (Euro 1.33 per bar) is also a great buy. This offer is also in the Citymarkets and the other K-Supermarkets (in Joutsensilta and Välivainio).

Citymarket is offering oranges at Euro 0.59 per kg - a great offer. Four 1.5 litre Cokes are also available at Euro 4, which is another great offer.

There is cake ice cream and also normal ice cream blocks at Euro 0.99, both of which are good offers.

Oranges, Bananas, Ice Cream

The best buys of today are 1.5 kg bags of Oranges for just € 0.99 (or € 0.66 per kg) from Citymarket (with a PLUSSA cards) and two great buys at the Euromarkets. Check each orange in the bags when you buy them as I noted some with mould formation. Throw away that bag immediately as there is no good reason to bring home unwanted bacteria!

The good buys at the Euronarkets Include:

a. Eldorado vanilla ice cream 2 x 1 litre blocks for just € 0.99 and
b. Good small slightly green bananas for € 0.99 per kg.

In the last one week I have bought well over 15 kg of oranges at this low price from Citymarket. Annikki has been sitting in front of the juicer making delicious fresh orange juice for everyone.

There are plenty of post Christmas sales going on now including some closing down sales. Look at the local newspaper and you will find some extraordinary bargains. (Good way to start leaning the Finnish language!)
