My #1 Chinese girl wanted 20pcs these Cranberry Tabs - she has a mini online store with her sister and reheats them when I take them over there - I took a pic and sent to her to get 100% confirmation price and pack size is ok:



She replies affirmative so I venture in to Discount Chemist Warehouse to buy them - grab a basket and collect 20pcs - go to cash register to pay and am informed can only buy 6pcs in any one purchase - PITA - so I buy 6 and walk outside 5mtrs and put them in the car - walk back inside and buy another 6 and walk outside 5mtrs and put them in the car - walk back inside and buy another 6 and walk outside 5mtrs and put them in the car - walk back inside and buy last 2 and walk outside 5mtrs and put them in the car - such is life - Amy will get her 20pcs:

You want to inform 1.4bil Chinese - I won't be trying.

For the Cranberry thing, my husband had a similar issue at Coles with his $1.00 per can tuna.... Although he was buying 132 cans at the time. He has a slight on sale hoarder issue.

Lol as long as we keep selling our products ... I have heard (third hand) of the ultra rich drinking penfold grange mixed with coca cola to make the wine "taste better"

Funny story about hoarding. My partners girlfriend is a Brit and her family watched their pennies. They bulk shopped at Costco for everything and Father kept a note of everything and would restock as necessary.
Parents went away for a weekend which of course signalled the time for a PARTAY!
All went well, all cleaned up afterwards and no damage.

Parents arrived home and within an hour Father asked about the partay. How did he know? The stock of TOILET PAPER was down!

A friend visited once, came out of the toilet and says, "What's with the tower of toilet paper"

I had a tower of about 200+ rolls of paper. It drives hubby nuts that I don't tell him when I've opened the last packet so he bought about 20 packets just for me.

Oh
I see. He really DOES have a hoarding problem.

Only if it's on sale... He's a shelf clearer.

The great Protein Ball sale is still spoken about... About a years worth.

Congratulations drron & mrs.drron. Must have been the year for beards. Only 2 weeks to wait for us to celebrate. Quite an achievement to reach 45 years.

I could get along well with your husband. A bargain is a bargain if it doesn't go off! Cole online has quantity limits but woolies doesn't. I generally get them to bring the tuna(now salmon) to me.

Hate to be a killjoy but the standard price in our Coles is $0.90.

Happy wanering
