Yep, was hardly worth going there from mid-2017 to earlier this year, since about March this year the quality has certainly improved.


Less stalls now but you're exactly right, we left it alone for some time and thought we'd have another try not long ago.

I gotta laugh though, someone tries to sell bacon and egg burgers for $10 there advertising it as a mega roll, like seriously?

When you can get a kilo of bacon for less than that you'd have to be rich. lazy or stupid to buy one.

Up early and out for a walk, cool but calm and no rain, Pearl Jam "Ten" blasting through the phones.

For the regular 13 pack ($2.50), I'm paying $0.19 per biscuit.
For the family 22 pack ($3.60), I'm paying $0.16 per biscuit.

No brainer really.

I went to the Little Wings charity ball Saturday night, there was a 10kg block of chocolate being auctioned silently there and it was sitting on $106 when I last seen, now that is dedication.

Solid block? Stacks of smaller blocks?

How does this work?

I'd imagine seperating a 10kg block would be difficult.

One big block, it was like a big picture frame and at a guess the actual chocolate must've been an inch thick judging by the packaging.

I found a picture of one:

I'd probably attack it with a potato peeler, we don't usually stock chocolate in our house anymore though.

We spend over $400k per year on local, national and international freight, some bills are $15k or more across a project.

Move a 1.2m3 pallet from end of the country to the other with costs, fuel, GST you're well over $500 then allow admin, carrying the debt etc.
