Yeah, apparently a chinese woman in Sydney was caught running
waving a packet of cheap noodles over the scanner repeatedly
instead of waving the other stuff she had in the basket. For some
reason there was some glitch that the supervisor had to fix and
she noticed that there were just noodles in a big list on the
screen, and none of the other stuff, and called the cops.

In one of the chinese language newspapers apparently.

Coles stupidly doesn't weigh stuff anymore apart from fresh produce.

But couldn't find them today when I did have time. Presumably
he meant he brought it from his car or something.

I don't normally buy enough at a time to warrant a trolley.

I just buy that stuff last and drive home straight away.

I do have a lot of the non Aldi ones, maybe 10.

I hardly ever remember to take one into the supermarket.

Havent bought anything but chicken so far and it was fine.

I normally buy a fucking great uncut slab of steak
and cut it up myself and Aldi doesn't sell those.

The local Woolys doesn't have them anymore because they
don't have a butcher in store anymore in the main one and
the other one never did have a butcher. So I am stuck with
Coles and the Super IGA and the local independent now.

It'll probably be a year before I need to buy some more.

Not thrilled with the Logix dishwasher pellets.

First time I left the packet on because it says it auto
dissolves. Ended up with what looks like a long
strip of what looked like it might be that on one
of the beer bottles. Next run I cut if off and ended
up with another on another beer bottle, so it cant
have been the tablet packet.

And a couple of the plates didn't get washed
properly this time. Never had that with Finish.

Needless to say I have 200 Logix tablets now.
I bought a box of one of each type when they
first opened and then they had one of their
special buys of 100 of the most expensive
so bought that too, Going to be years before
I use all those unless I get a lot more long necks
at the garage sales.

One thing they don't have is frozen peas and corn.
That's what I normally eat with the potatoes. They
do have peas and corn separately and at a better
price than the specials of peas and corn mixed
in Coles and Woolys so I may mix them myself
if I can be arsed for the relatively small saving
of say $0.50/KG.

The late start is nuisance too, 8:30, All the others
open at 7 here and I normally do the supermarket
run after the garage sale run and it normally is
over well before 8:30, yesterday it was over at 7:30
