THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[Yvette]

Thanks GF a purchase from Victoria's Basement last year. Will be using it tomorrow

[goldfish]

Is it a Staub?  I have one in red . . just love it to bits!!

[Yvette]

Yes it is GF great for cooking not as easy to clean. Mine is black inside the light colour ones are easier to clean don't know if they are the same brand though

[Mama Fergie]

Great purchases Yvette and hope you enjoy the sous vide cooking 

[EmeraldSue]

Love the green pot too - you are going to be busy in your kitchen
I tried the mantra: "I will not visit the POK website, I will not visit the POK website, I will............."
I failed.
Mum mentioned yesterday that she was looking for a culinare vegetable peeler for my brother, and couldn't find one. Of course, POK sells them. I resisted ordering one for her until I saw their daily deal for milo plane (stupid iPad autocorrect - microplane!!) graters for $7. It's hard to justify $13 postage on a $4 peeler, so I added a few extra things to my order. Before I knew it, I'd placed an order for about $150.
I will not visit the POK website, I will NOT.....

LOL Sue

Very nice Yvette

Well, I bought my new phone today from Hardly Normal
I eventually decided on a Samsung Galaxy S II, and was told by the staff member that I would need to have my SIM card cut down to micro-size to fit it. They didn't have the tools to do it at the store so I had to go to a different shop to have it done. Being the stupid overly-trusting person that I am, I didn't actually check beforehand that my SIM card wouldn't fit the new phone
So I went to this other shop and the man there cut my SIM to micro-size. I tried to put it in my new phone and it wouldn't even stay in place, let alone read! So then I had to go to Telstra and ask them to put my SIM card in a little gadget thing to fit in my new phone.
Took up over an hour of my morning
But I'm really excited that I have my new phone

[Mama Fergie]

That's great Amy and glad you got it sorted 

[Emme]

Great shopping Yvette, 

ES, I know what you mean, I try and stay away from POK too.    Good price for the grater though 

Amy, so glad you have the phone problem sorted out.

I saw it ES and was going to mention it here but went delete delete to POK? LOL!

Yay! Amy! It's a great phone (in fact I'm using it to type this message )

I bought 2x 12 mini silicone cupcake moulds today... Thought I might try making some mini cupcakes or puddings for DD in the varoma.

I bought 4 of these mini casserole dishes from Aldi this afternoon.  Can't wait to use them to serve up some delicious winter stews!

[Mama Fergie]

Love the mini casserole dishes snappy. 
Wish we had an Aldi here

[snappy]

I do most of my groceries at Aldi now because we generally use basic ingredients - rice, pasta, cereals, meat, vegies etc

Mini casseroles were only $1.99 each - great value!

[mcmich]

OOhh, can't wait to see what you think of it. If you love it, I will get one. 

[Cornish Cream]

Lovely purchases everyone
POK sounds like a place where your credit card could do a lot of damage
