    I actually bought Organic SR flour (woolies brand) the other day - I was astounded at the checkout to find it was actually only a $1 more than the other stuff - and given how exxy flour is becoming these days I dont understand why you would buy non-organic flour when you can get the god stuff so cheap!
    The Woolies Organic Pasta is also priced well.

    I've been quite impressed with the amount of organic store products available in the last few months.

    I went to get the chook for dinner tonight before though - went to Lenards and this is how the conversation went:

    40-something Shop Assistant: "Hi, how can I help you?"
    Me: " Hi... Do you guys actually do whole chooks?"
    Assistant: "Yes we do. I can go and get you one if you like."
    Me: "I do not suppose they are free-range and orgainc?"
    Assistant: "Ah no I don't think so. They are only $9.90 though"
    Me: " Ah I see. Thanks I think I will go to Coles and get a Mt Barker chook"
    Assitant: "Ours are bigger than the Mt Barkers and much cheaper you know"




    I now have a gorgeous 1.8kg chook for $16 And I know it will taste good because it had a good life.

    *sigh* what is the obsession with the gigantic chook? If you really want more chicken you can cook two!!

    Farmer's markets are great. We have one nearby but I have class on saturday morning so I can't go. Maybe I should try the organic market at Flemington.
