supermarket shopping

Ron from Greenmeadows

Saw a person, in a supermarket, tipping mushrooms onto weigh scale then later placing them in a paper bag. Interested, i weighed my mushrooms first then bagged them in the bags supplied, then weighed again. The difference was 7 grams heavier so if bagging first would have been paying for the bag at nearly $12. per kg. Nice way for the supermarket to sell paper bags at what must be a very good mark up. No I am not a scrooge but it was an interesting and informative exercise.

Hawke's Bay Show 2025

Denise from Marewa

Something for you to consider for next year. There needs to be a lot more entries in the show as it was quite disappointing to see how few there were this year. Townies can enter these competitions, it's not just for country folk. It costs $5 for one entry, and you get a free ticket to the Show (worth $16) and a free carpark, as well as the chance of winning a prize. www.hbap.co.nz...
