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.

Sunday shopping is on again

Christmas shopping has started and Sunday shopping from 12 noon to 9 pm is back with this.

This weekend there are a few good buys.

Bananas are cheap at € 0.99 per kg at Tokmanni, Prisma and Euromarket. If you are buying reasonably large quantities, as we do, look for small green ones as they will ripen over a few days.

Spanish persimon fruits are € 1.49 per kg at the K Supermarkets and also at the Citymarkets.

Mango juice is cheapest at Prisma. the best is the Valio Mango and Orange juice which also has milk and is almost like the mango phool we make in India. It costs € 1.95 whereas at other shops it is € 2.05.

The best fresh fruit salad you can make is to serve the sliced bananas, persimon laced with the mango juice! Delicious!!

Tomatoes are just € 1.59 per kg at Prisma.

Although I am not a fan of Mangoes from any western country, if you feel desperate to taste a mango, Citymarkets are offering Brazilian mangoes at € 1.49 per kg. They are large, nit very juicy and do not taste anything like the many tens of great varieties we get in India, but when one is desperate, this may do!
