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.

Seedless Indian Grapes

Seedless Indian Thomson Green Grapes are € 1.99 for a half kg container at PRISMA. Make sure that you do not see any over-ripe grapes in the plastic container. You can get cheaper Chilean Green Grapes at a couple of other shops at € 1.69 for half a kg.

PRISMA also has oranges at € 0.89 per kg. You should choose your oranges carefully, making sure they are firm and not squashy or squashed. I picked up about 4 kg yesterday, but I had to choose each orange carefully.

Halpa Halli in Toppila has small Ingman Yoghurt tubs at € 0.18 per tub, but you are limited to buying 10 tubs per person. Normal price for this is € 0.29 per tub, so this offer is well worthwhile. You can also pick up the Turkey Metrilenkki sausages at € 2.25 per packet (€ 2.39 at PRISMA) and there is new small broiler frankfurter type sausage (8 per pack) at € 1.55 per 400 gm. The same type of turkey frankfurters are € 1.75 per 400 gm pack in PRISMA. The VIP Orange Juice at Halpa Halli is € 0.59 per litre, about 20 cents cheaper than most other so.

The Valio Mango Juice at Tokmanni is still € 1.99 per litre, about 6 cents cheaper than at PRISMA and 26 cents cheaper than at Citymarket. But I noted that the Tokmanni at Kaijonharju (near the University) is not stocking this product, but it is only available at their Jukkolankuja in south Oulu. I usually buy the entire stock on display when I visit the shop in the morning, so do not be surprised if you do not see any on their shelves.

The finest quality Dehra Dun Basmati Rice that I am offering is till the best and cheapest on the market - at € 1.90 per kg delivered at your home. The smallest size bag is 4.5 kg. You have to email me your requirement along with your address. Deliveries are either on Friday evening or Saturday mornings.

Tomatoes, Green Grapes, Mango Juice,....

There are some good offers this weekend.

Tokmanni which has shops in Kaijonharju (Sammonkatu 5, 90570 Oul) near the University and also in South Oulu (Jukolankuja 3, 90420 Oulu), on the route to the Airport has these special offers:

Those of you are fans of Turkey Metre sausages (called in Finnish as Kalkuna Metrilenkki) should go to Halpa Halli in Toppila (Paakakatu 2, 90520 OULU) where it is € 2.25 per packet compared with € 2.35 in Prisma and higher in Citymarket. Also you can get 7 small flavoured yoghurt tubs for € 2.00, considerably cheaper than from other supermarkets. Although a kilo of cashewnuts is labelled at € 8.90 per kg, unfortunately it has been out of stock for almost two weeks.

For details call 041 - 706 7788. Free delivery will be organised within Oulu but you have to provide the labour at both ends.
