Shopping!

Well... after the last post I went shopping. Ended up getting like 10 of those lean cuisine things, but I've realised that I'll probably only need to eat them about 3-4 of the days out of 7 each week so I've bought a month's worth :D

But yes... twas interesting how expensive fruit was. So here's the breakdown of the fruit, of which I intend to eat like one piece of each type of fruit (one banana, one mandarin, one apple) a day.
7 bananas = 1.748kg @ $3.63/kg = $6.35
........$0.90/banana

5 apples = 0.918kg @ $3.94/kg = $3.62
........$0.72/apple

5 mandarins = 1.303kg @ $3.63/kg = $4.73
........$0.95/mandarin

Fruit = $2.57/day, $17.99/week.

In unrelated news, I've taken another 4 hours of work a week, taking my job hours to 30.5 a week :D

Anyway, hope you enjoyed my brand of micro-management :) I enjoy crunching numbers, it makes me feel like I'm in control... but of course the actual control of this will only last a little while :D then I'll be back to junk food etc.

There was a banana in my fruit bowl I wasn't going to be needing, so I've posted it to you.

I chose a slightly green one so it should be ripe on arrival.

Wrapped it in foil just in case.

If you leave two litres of soft drink in the freezer for 24 hours, it will explode.

No, mythbusters didn't do it.

My family did :-)

especially when it gets into all those hard to clean places...like the creses in the plastic the other objects in your freezer are wrapped in.

I vote that Luke should invent a non-exploding softdrink bottle...
