Oh I so love going to the Expo!

Comment Published at 23:2823:2813 comments13 comments25 Visits25 VisitsReport

What a day. My feet are aching, I am tired but so happy.

I came home with a huge amount of drinks, chips, K-time bars, ice blocks, bread rolls, cereal, to name just a few of the goodies. All for nothing!! The best bargain of all. The kids have a field day when I get home from these each year. Next year I will have to make sure that the child care send me along. I have a few things to take down there to show them, and now I have to go through all the paperwork for the relevant bits for them to look at.

I also found a company that does foccacia slabs, and pizza slabs. 28 squares of each, which I can cut each in half to make 56 for the kids for lunch. And at less than $8 a slab, good value. Approx 13 cents each then. So will definately be ordering these from them.

Will do more later, gotta go work out some stuff. CYA

Re: Oh I so love going to the Expo!

It sounds like you had a productive day. I used to work in a school kitched, only kitchen assistant. this was back in 1990. At the end of the day we were aloud to take home enything that would not keep over. This included the rolls / sandwiches. I was the popular on when I got home.

I've been to a few  Ideal Home exibitions at the National Exibition Center, in  Birmingham . We used to come home ladened with free goodies. It's great fun.

love Lisa x x x

Wow, wish they had something down here in SA. IF they do, please let me know, as we are struggling so much right now with everything.

I can relate to the struggle bit. I have looked up for you and there doesn't seem to be anything down that way. If I hear anything, I will let you know.

QAST (Qld Ass of School Tuckshops) run a couple a year through out the state. It is a fantastic way to meet the suppliers and also to find any new foods that might be available. Then they give it all away at the end.

OH I did I did!! Had a ball. We took our Treasurer of the Canteen with us this year. we told her to bring bags to put stuff in. She didn't beleive us and brought 1. I had 4 trolley bags, and I still had bags spilling out on the footpath when I got home and unloaded my friends car. She is bringing more bags with her next year.

Hope you had a great night out. And yes, I think they will like the treat. I will have to go down on Monday and show them some of the things I found and start the ordering processes. Only a week to go and I start cooking down there.

Needless to say that the fridge freezer and pantry are all locked up again. It is school holidays in a week and I would like SOME left.
