Wanted mail

Every Saturday and Monday, there will be a stack of mail that's dropped through the mail slot on the door.  These are flyers from different supermarkets and stores.  Some times you do find a lot of good offers for groceries and other household stuff.  Pete and I would go through them together and figure out which supermarket offers the best deal for our weekly shopping.

I like to look at prices of cheeses and fruits.  Some times, a kilo of Gouda or Edam can cost as little as SD$10.  Last week, 4 golden kiwi went for SD$2.  Sodas such as Sprite and Coke can also be very cheap.  This week, you can buy five 1.5l bottles for SD$8 and two huge loaves of bread (and I'm not talking about the tasteless white bread) cost SD$3.

We also get flyers from a store called Bauhaus.  They sell everything you need to build and furnish a house, including gardening stuff.  I love looking at their patio furniture and the potted plants they sell.  Of course, living in an apartment means that I don't have a need for outdoor furniture.  But they are so beautiful that I just have to look and admire them every time I get the flyers. 

Some of these flyers also have recipes and ideas for meals.  They look simple but tasty.  The only problem is that all of the flyers are written in Swedish, but I can always ask Pete to translate.  Also, after looking through these flyers several times a week, one good thing came out of it - I've picked up some Swedish!  I guess these flyers work better than flashcards.
