It is hard to find good coffee here. It is expensive and normally not that good, the instant is rough but the fresh is good (says Rob) but not the price. It is rare to find a restaurant (unless it is a well known hotel chain) that serves coffee. Today Rob went shopping and came back with fresh coffee which was half price. Reason well you will love this.

The Chinese are great at doing what they are told, please don't give them a choice otherwise they get all confused. Well this coffee is strong. And they can't deal with strong coffee so they stop buying it and the shop has a surplus on hand. Now Rob doesn't like strong coffee and I don't drink it but we do the normal thing put less coffee in the coffee maker. The Chinese haven't worked on that if it is too strong use less because the packet tells you how much to put in the pot and you can't put any more or any less. Today Rob reaped the rewards of that with the coffee being half price.

:praise: God! What a delightful story! Thanks for sharing, Bev!

That is a fantastic deal. I knew you told me coffee was so hard to get there. Hope Rob bought more than he can carry.

No he only bought one packet to see what it is like first. He has plenty of coffee as we brought in a pile with us last year.

thats really great boysbach..what wonderful deals you have gotten there..any other good deals you can tell us about? I know you sure do well with movies there too :wow: it costs us $5.00 here to rent a movie for 2 nights..We like watching movies so we would have a great time paying $1.00 per movie :banana:

Movies are around 60 cents here. But when you consider that the average earnings are around $100 or less per month then you see why things are so cheap. Mind you they are cheap and break nothing like the stuff exported.

Last year I asked CE if she had a recipe for carrots as they were selling them for 0.0001 cent per kilo Yep you should have seen the crowds. It was crazy.
