Sunday 28 November 2010 - Market Buys

This morning from Blacktown Markets I bought:

1 Grey T-shirt "Nike" $4

The markets were full of stalls however it started to spit with rain so they all covered up with plastic sheets. Even when the rain stopped I couldnt find anything to buy. I dont think I was in the right frame of mind this morning.

Normally after Blacktown I go to North Rocks Markets but knowing what whimps they are (if it evens looks overcast they pack up) I decided not to go so I drove to Baulkham Hills Stockland Mall for a coffee and newspaper.

I also went into Harris Farm Markets and bought:

Mangoe's $4 a bucket
Strawberries 3 punets for $5

I got 6 punets but she only charged me for 3, I didnt notice this till I got home otherwise I would have corrected her silly mistake.
