Bananas at € 0.95

You can tell that Annikki and I are great banana fans. Today and tomorrow, Euromarket has bananas at € 0.95 per kg.

I usually buy them green and small as we have different stages of taste levels. I like them just turning ripe. Annikki loves them ripe and to give to Hilja, Annikki likes them slightly overripe. The have made a great fruit salad these last few days with diced persimons that I got for less than a Euro per kg last week and served with orange/mango juice blend.

Last week I found a Pirkka brand Orange-Mango juice with no water and also not requiring refrigeration at around € 1.50 per litre. Pirkka is a K-Group brand. So look on the shelves which have the normal orange and apple juices. (There are Orange-Mango juices at around € 1 per litre but these contain water and sugar, plus other preservatives.) The best tasting one is still the Orange - Mango juice blend with milk, which is the closest we have found to Mango Phool!

At Halppa-Halli, I found Metrilenkki Turkey sausages at € 2 per packet. At Tokmanni it is € 2.20 per packet, at PRISMA it is € 2.25 per packet while at Citymarket it is € 2.40 per packet.

Similarly I found Broiler sausage at € 1.50 per packet at Halppa-Halli which is € 1.65 at PRISMA and € 1.69 at Citymarket.

Oranges and mandarins

Oranges are € 0.99 per kg at Valintatalo and € 1.00 per kg at the all the K Supermarkets in Oulu.

Yesterday, Mandarins were still € 0.79 per kg at PRISMA, but select them carefully. Hopefully they are the same price today. Look for firm ones rather than ones with a loose skin.

The Turkey Metrilenkki sausage is € 2.25 per piece at PRISMA. Look for ones with the longer Best Before date if you intend to buy a few to keep in the fridge or deep freeze.



Annikki got a large candle which was in a coconut shell for just € 1.00 at Halpa-Halli. Great buy as a decorative item, even if you are not intending to burn it.

Oranges and Tomatoes

The Best Buy for those with the PLUSSA card this week from the Kesko Group are Oranges at € 1 per kg and tomatoes at € 0.99 per kg.

These two offers are available from the KKK Shop at Joutsensilta (Paljatie 4-8, 90150 Oulu) and possibly also other KKK Shops in Oulu.

The Lidl Group is offering watermelons at € 0.79 per kg at all its shops. Great buy even as summer is on its way out.

If you do not eat pork, then the Turkey Metrilenkki sausages available from PRISMA could be of special interest to you. There are also Turkey Frankfurters and Broiler Grilling Sausages available at PRISMA which may be of special interest to this crowd.
