I'd love an Aldi and Costco. Coles and Woolies have us really stitched up. I'm getting rather cross that they keep discontinueing products to put in their own. I keep emailing them and they say 'oh we don't stock that anymore." :'( :'( :'(

Went to Costco today with a friend - only my 2nd visit, & this time I signed up! Bought box set of roald Dahl books 4 the kids for $48 - bargain! Wrapping paper, box of 30 beautiful greeting cards for $18 (with 2 school age kids go thru a LOT of cards etc). Oh & bought some food too! Flour, sundried toms, goats cheese etc etc. I can see I'll probably only go about 6 times a year, but I reckon I'll get my money's worth.

I had a day out on Norwood Parade today with the carers and managed to get some things on my wish list during the 5 hours shopping & lunch trip.
The Gucci handbag I found in an op shop for $75.  The birthday book is for forum members details, the stainless steel soap is because Gretchen gave it the thumbs up on here and the new timer/alarm is because my old one didn't work this morning and I slept in  :-))  Still made it to the meeting point in time though. Had a great day.

Glad you had such a good day, JD!  See everyone!  JD can't even take a day off without her mind on the forum!  A lovely book - and thank you for taking the time to look after us all . . . .  :-* :-* :-*

Glad u had fun JD. You deserve it.
Thanks for the info on the air fryer. Been thinking about getting one and now I will save my money and use the oven.
As for Aldi and Costco. Armidale was meant to get Aldi 2 yrs ago and we r still waiting. Tamworth even doesn't have one.
