THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[Bedlam]

My surprise purchase today was some very expensive darjelling tea from T2, they sucked me in, this tea is only picked on day 1 & 2 of the harvest, warning bells should have sounded, but happily sipped on it, fhen was given the normal darjeeling, mmm, so I said yes will take some. At the till I was told it was $55!!!!!

 Paid cash so dh wont know. Its called Darjeeling First Flush, 50 grams.

Whoa that is pricey.  I am glad I don't live too close to T2 always spend more that I expect in there. I like the French Earl grey, nothing like the other, only avail in T2 so a shame when you are addicted

Yes it is Gert. I enjoy some of the teas but not others and as Hally found out some are VERY expensive.

[Halex]

I dont knw where else they are, but I am sure they woukd be in Sydney & Melb.
I have a pot of morning red brewing, much cheaper but not cheap.

Hally, you had better enjoy those cups of tea sooooo much 

[Halex]

Am enjoying the morning red.

Do you  T2 in south aus?

[judydawn]

I had never heard of them Hally but I googled and there is one store just out of the city.  I'm not a prolific tea drinker, coffee is my first choice but occasionally I might have a tea at night or anywhere where I think the coffee looks too strong eg on airlines or anywhere they serve drip coffee with no other choice.

T2 can be bought online also.....I only had tea whilst pregnant, can't stand it normally.....so if I had a sudden hankering for tea...I would positively faint!  


I picked up WW food for friends and

I don't use them cause my mother told me never to touch a hot iron.


That's very sensible Jen. You should always listen to your mother.

I ended up buying the Arcosteel pasta maker (surprise surprise!), it's smaller than I was expecting. I was expecting it to be longer, but once I looked at it it made sense. It was only $22.50, down from $45 so a bargain in my eyes... :-) I won't get to  play with it until Sunday though. I also got a sandwich press, because I gave mine away when I moved into to my apartment as I didn't think I'd need it. That was before I discovered home-made rolls and bagels. And got my 2 year old son some Lego, he LOVES his lego.

Hmn, I can see you will have to use your best tea cups and go and sit in the formal lounge room whilst you sip this Mrs Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet)

[Halex]

Yes I have stored it in the fine bone china cabinet so I only use the best china for this very expensive tea. Its more expensive than a bottle of Pol Roger

$162++, cant you just buy another from HO.
