Cheap Baked Beans

Post by Izabarack »

Anyone notice that Woolies is selling Heinz Baked Beans (the only ones I will eat) for 87 cents? Woolies reckons that is half price (I agree). As an investment, it can be argued that sinking some of the budget into a bulk buy returns 100% on the investment. I did buy $30 plus worth and then filled up at the cheapest servo around and used the 8 cent per litre discount. Total benefit to the budget was just under $40.

Fart Food is a breakfast favourite on the road so I am stocked up for some time to come.

Hmmm... good value there, but 35+ cans of beans... if I bought that many I'd probably also have to buy a wet suit! :lol:

A bit of careful plumbing, and a stainer filter, you do some suplimentary fueling of your own Chuck, and it would certainly stop any problems with tail gaters :lol: Now you will be keeping your eyes open for the pickled onions to come on special :twisted:

Currently anchored in SEQ doing up a house to sell off. Reduced to tenting it for a Simpson trip coming up but I did recently have a Psychic vision of a new DMax with a fiver on the back when the house sells. A clockwise lap starting in about September showed up in the crystal ball as well.

Hi, all.

One for the old wrinkled members.

A Jewish pawnbroker named Just
saw his three gilded balls start to rust.
He just couldn't bear
to use sandpaper there,
so he gave them a light talcum dust.
