[quote=\"highheels\"]All Super Aunties, I have a question. Any way to tell if apples/oranges/pears/plums etc are sweet?


Grapes I know, because I always eat one or two before buying :yikes: Dont judge me, im sure some of you do too!!!

But as for other fruits, always at a loss, then always end up with sour fruits..

i judge by the weight, the heavier of the same size is the sweeter and juicier one.
For pear, the smoother the skin, the sweeter.
For orange, the weight and the smoothness of the skin.

Ahem, guess I am a super auntie too

:yikes: I Thot you were a DADDY !!! :shock: :siam:[/quote] Nooooope! Harlequin is one of my favorite character.... should have picked Columbine instead :frustrated:

buds:

I thought she was Mamago!


To be safe, think now i betta-go. :siam:

you are the 2nd one said it. Frankly, I did a search on her, I would think her English is better than mine.

The down side of being mistaken is, her foes might come charging at me, sorry, with all due respect.... (if she reads this post :lightrod: )

When I have the time, it is fun to take a trolley and stroll every lane in the supermarket. But recently, I like to go to supermarkets which are not smelly.

Sheng Siong and Giant smell terrible.

Ahem! My score is pretty decent and lower than some of yours. But not telling and sharing. :imcool:


Yes, I am the one giving YOU the LOOK when you take extra plastic bags, pinching grapes and tasting longans, pressing peaches and changing eggs or persimmons !! :rotflmao: Sori la, trained from young. Was class monitor, school prefect to councillor from P1 la before becoming Lau Aunty. :rotflmao:

Hit any shopping mall, by default will auto pilot to supermarket to look look see see. Even if I forced myself to shop, it will be over in a flash but could spent so much time in supermarket even if thr's nothing to buy.

My store room has many packs of toilet rolls & tissue...esp Hello Kitty ones. 2 for $8.45...boxes so pretty, can't resist.

For me, when I hit shopping mall in town, first dept is children.
I managed to get several good buys when I went to Taka atrium.

As an aunty, I always make sure I have sufficient stand by items of everything...coffee powder, filter bags, shampoo, Lux, Jiff, detergent etc etc.

The colourful Hello Kitty tissue box?I bot that too...from Shop n Save.

Toilet paper....i buy when it is like 3 packs for $12. One time buy 6 packs...

shower gel for body n hands,i've few dozen at home,hehe...used up quite quickly.
