I don't think we realize how very very lucky we are!!; October 24, 2007 at 7:40 PM
Kennie said...: True True! I just can't get over the prices of the everyday items that I would just stop by the grocery store and buy back home compared to here. It puts things in perspective in a way.; October 24, 2007 at 8:17 PM

jen said...: HOLY CRAP! I complain about here, but really we have it good, it's only a measly $15 for juice down in the tropics of the low arctic!! The sealift was really made for Arctic Bay! Are those the small cans of Timmies?; October 25, 2007 at 11:51 PM
Kennie said...: Jen, no those are the big cans of Timmies that I'm used to paying 12.99 for ... not 24.29. The smaller can (that I pay 6.99 for in NB), costs 15.99. Before the sea lift came in August, they (the big ones) were 36.99. I cried... and that same carton of tropicana oj went for 24.99 before the sea lift arrived. Which confused me, as it's not like we can get a years supply of OJ in all at once since they have expiry dates....; October 26, 2007 at 8:06 PM
