Full Pantry

Thursday afternoon, Scott and I headed to Hagen. We had a good time and now my pantry is stocked! I thought that maybe you would enjoy seeing what things we buy here on the other side of the world. First of all, NO WHERE is like America. 3 years ago, Scott and I went to Australia, and there is maybe 20 kinds of cereal and 15 kinds of chips there. Not near the extreem volume of the states! So, next time you are buying cereal, just be happy at all the choices!

 
You will see lots of canned corn and mushrooms or champignons as they are called here. Black olives! We usually do not have those! Did you see Kraft cheese spread? We love it! It is 25Kina per jar-$8! But we use it for mac and cheese, soup, lasagna and more! Peanut butter, 30 kina-$10. Cereal, is from 15K on sale to 30K for a box. We don't eat cereal often. There were Ritz crackers and pringles in town! Yipee! Sometimes, it is worth the money to get a taste of 'home'.

On the top shelf is little blue boxes of thickened cream, we use those for sour cream, ice cream, whipped topping, and more. I buy some canned fruit, what I can't get fresh. We get milk in boxes, but those are on the floor. It is about 5kina per liter and four liters per gallon, so $7 per gallon. You can see bread and rolls in ziplocks, I bake bread once or twice a week. There is also a not too pretty pile of used ziplocks and used tin foil there on the left. Should of cleaned the pantry before taking the pictures! I was pretty excited for the sliced pickles yesterday for $3, they were $10 at the other store!
The grocery stores are pretty expensive for Western things, but we can make up for it at the market-fresh fruits and veggies! We bought all we could carry yesterday for about $8.
Thanks for looking in my pantry!
