Woolworths have a range of kitchen and general cleaning products that they seem to have re-aligned their pricing on and they are now very competitively priced .... but are of, in my mind, superior quality. Sold under their own name they cover a wide range of products. Worthy of a special mention are definitely their automatic washing machine liquid and their dish liquid. The former comes in attractive packaging and is well priced compared to their 2kg powder competition in the market. One of the greatest things is the smell which wafts out of both your machine and your clothing afterwards. The latter comes in a modern bottle and seems to not get that congealing of liquid around the cap. The scents are great, especially the yellow Tropical one and you really need a minute amount for deep foam.
Then on to books .... which are becoming mind blowingly expensive and if you are a book maniac like me then you need to be on the look out all the time. Bargain Books in Centurion are well priced and also have many books on the buy 2 for R149 kind of special. With the renovations at Centurion Mall they are a bit tricky to reach at the moment but well worth a visit. Even better is if you know which authors and titles you are looking for when you get there. Another great source of books is the Annual Exclusive Books book sale ... if you want to go on Day 1 it will be wise to get there an hour before they open. Alternately pass there every 2nd day during the sale. They pack out all the time ... also hunt under the table top where they pack many good titles. Book exchanges are also very useful .. but find out before the time what their exchange system is and also what they charge for buying only. A good one here is the Magalieskruin Centre in Braam Pretorius Str ... she carries good titles. There used to be a fantastic one outside the Superspar in the Queens Corner Centre but now after years, it seems to have moved on. And then of course the old fashioned way .... fetes and markets.
And lastly eggs ... after seeing an article recently about mismatched weights in a tray, questions about how large Jumbo actually is .... I have done some research and top of the pops for me is Eggbert Jumbo eggs available in most supermarkets. Competitively priced all the eggs are the correct weight and at least they look like Jumbo eggs, not Large eggs standing on their tippy toes.
