keeping your food fresher for a little longer

Hi Dave.
Thanks for the tips on how to keep your food longer, I like the one regarding the eggs it makes sense, keeps the moisture out.
Cheers Frank.

Those tips all work well.
The eggs one works by keeping the air out Frank. We swap our eggs into plastic containers (instead of the paper ones), but they don't fit big eggs, so we buy smaller ones to fit the container.

If you have an inverter (even a fairly small one), the small Cryovac vacuum packing machines work a treat too, for meat, fish, almost anything. They don't use much power, but the bags are a bit dear.
Some butchers (especially country ones) will vacuum pack your meat in meal size packs for you, if you ask. Some will do it for no charge, some charge around $1 per pack extra. Means hat you can store stuff in the fridge for a long time that would otherwise need to be frozen.

Cheers,
Peter

if you are offering a "distinct" discount or a "special offering" for grey nomads, then I think it may be allowed to "sneak" through as long as god allows it

Lol Wombat, is that the butcher's shop where the lady drove her car through your window a few years back.

Before my time but judging from the driving skills I 've seen in the carpark I wouldn't be surprised.

Mr Rudd should throw all these dollars he has into cab fares or public transport for elderly drivers that would reduce the level of road rage for all of us.

well for some anyway they shouldnt be on the road but they have no alternative, they are also frightened of the public transport and cant afford the taxis, but I agree some shockers out there, but go down the main street on dole bludgers day and watch the drivers
