THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[maddy]

Maddy,
I've just looked at the website- it's cheaper than Fishpond, which is what I usually buy from.  Mmmm. I'm tempted by this.....

 ES, Check out www.booko.com.au
It's a search engine for books & dvds, and will quote all online stores from cheapest to most expensive,including the postage.

I just bought momofuku milk bar today on book depository.  I can't wait to get it and see if i can convert some of the recipes to TMX.  Crack pie is definitely on the list!

Once we drop my son at the airport, I'm going to my favorite Greek deli, stocking up on treats and then coming home to nap (I've had really bad insomnia for over two weeks).  After that I'm going to do some retail therapy at a homewares shop and get some baking trays to fit the microwave.  All the ones I have are too big.

I bought a Sunbeam Pie Maker today. The good guys had them on sale for $54, but when I got there they took it down to $50 which was a welcome surprise!

Good price Jakodai, you will certainly use it.

Thinking of buying the book "The Art of Pasta" by Lucio Galletto, its reduced at david Jones to $38.
The blurb, any got it?
Lucio's Italian Restaurant in Sydney Australia was established in 1983 and enjoys a remarkable reputation for exceptional Italian food and magnificent Australian art. Their beautiful book, The Art of Pasta gives detailed instructions for making and cutting pasta (including pasta flavoured with herbs, porcini, saffron and squid ink), and for making simple filled pastas and perfect gnocchi. To accompany the pasta, choose from an array of mouth-watering pestos - from the definitive Ligurian version made with basil and pine nuts to a vibrant-green pistachio pesto and a versatile orange and almond pesto that's equally good stirred through freshly cooked linguine, served with couscous or used as the basis of a salad dressing. Simple dishes mark the passage of the seasons, such as tagliatelle served with raw mushrooms in autumn, or with the first thin spears of asparagus in spring. In the cooler days of winter, authentic recipes for slow-cooked ragus (including a classic Bolognese sauce that has stood the test of time) really come into their own, filling the house with wonderful aromas. The Art of Pasta is filled with 160 authentic pasta recipes complimented with artwork by the very talented Luke Sciberras and photography by Anson Smart.

Ordered two sports type plain coloured overnight bags from amazon. Measured the ones we had, now fallen apart and ordered same. Very cheap, but very small on arrival! OK for one night but no more. Will have to do.
Last one cost $NZ15 and lasted 6 years!
These cost £8.77 each.

Will measure again later and see what difference is and post review.

Plus Ordered 2 small bookcases for landing 8inches deep to fit at top of stairs. Hope their measurements are correct!

Going shopping with DD this morning to a new country town 40 mins from here, will report later.
