OMG Mango

[gemfyre]

jakie_em and I decided to go down to Galati's in Baldivis to partake of the 30c/kilo potato craze.

This guy sells all kinds of fruit and veg, most pretty cheap, so I went a bit nuts buying my lovely fresh produce.

What did I get?
Potatos - of course
Sweet potato
Beetroot - will have to find recipes for these
Squash
Broccoli
Rhubarb - Again I'll need to find out how to make rhubarb cobbler or something
Mangoes - One big one and bag of 5 little ones for $1! I chopped 'em up and froze them for smoothies. Took a bite of each of them and they are all good.
Pink lady apples
Bananas
Carrots
Pineapple
Avocado - a bag of 5 small ones, might make guacamole
Corn - almost as cheap as Broome
Milk - that was $1/L which is a great price
And 5 potted herbs to start my herb garden - Mint, flat leaf parsley, coriander and what I think are sage and majoram

Now all I need is some mushrooms.

Let the good food roll!

You weren't working?

Oh well, in a few weeks time when we run out of veggies we could do it all again!

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Depends when you went, really; I was working til lunchtime.

Yeah, put me down for next time though, see how we go. ;)

It was a reply on my LJ... perhaps we should have made it a post

Heheh, honestly, if the fuel money to get down there didn't outweigh the grocery savings, I'd go too!

I have been tempted to go down there - if only for the spuds but where the hell is Baldivis? It sounds far away...

I so need to restock so much stuff - we've been living off the stuff we've had but it's rapidly depleting. My cupboard staples are potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, lettuce, green leafy something & frozen corn & peas (seeing as corn on the cob is off limits still).

Baldivis is near Rockingham.

In a few weeks when the supplies run low again, a bunch of us might organise a big outing to Rockingham then to Galati's. I'll let you know if/when that happens.
