Bananas in pajamas


Check this out!


This is a bunch of ordinary bananas Elizabeth bought in a supermart in Copenhagen, Denmark..

Feel similar to the bananas we have in Singapore!
Look similar to the bananas we have in Singapore!
Taste similar to the bananas we have in Singapore!
Smell similar to the bananas we have in Singapore!



BUT in terms of prices..very vast difference!!! a bunch of banana in Singapore (even if its the Del monte brand) probably cost S$3? MAX...
the bunch of bananas we had in Copenhagen cost like
S$10!!
so its $2 for one BANANA!!!

and this is my dear Eliz enjoying her S$10 bananas.....

its another 杀人放火 case leh (like my muah chee blog)...
Btw, side track abit here! Recently, i walked pass the muah chee store...guess out? they are selling the muah chee like 250g for S$1.50!! Grrrr..and i bought it like 100g for S$1.80
Just because its CNY! you had to jack u the price to make a fast buck!!
不道德 哦!! Unethical !!

So, a trip to the supermarket that day cost us:
-
bunch of banana DK33 (S$10)
- 10 eggs DK14 (S$4.20)
- 2 X 1.5L bottle of Fanta drink DK40 (S$12.20)
- 1 bottle of fruit juice DK17 (S$5.15)
total groceries expenses
DK104 (S$31.55)
You would maybe pay less than S$11 if you had purchase similar items in NTUC or cold storage

Oh yeah, did i mention that one of my colleagues made a phonecall back to Singapore using the hotel's roomphone?
Her damages that day
: 14mins for S$191.00!!!
FOURTEEN MINUTES...
ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY ONE SINGAPORE DOLLARS!!
No, i'm not kidding here!!

And you thought Singapore was expensive..Duh~~

Swedish word : livsmedelsaffär
English word: grocery store
