Mousehunt 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 so far you must have CAR to do that else taking public transport there to buy stuff = not any cheaper anymore I cycle there from Compassvale. It is pretty far but worth it. Reason is it is cheaper and eat the food there. My usual stuff to buy is about 3kg of vege and other stuff like meat and other groceries. That is base on weekly basis. For fish. I will buy them from Bedok and I take a bus there. Reason is their fish are fresh and even if we keep it for a month, it is still fresh.No choice lah, for kids and my wallet.

My wife stays at home. Not that she wants it, but she don't have a choice. I have 3 kids! So we usually buy 1 week of groceries.With the amount I buy, sometimes it can't even last for a whole week. Maybe just some weekdays. So even for some week nights, we go out and have dinner.If the amount of groceries is to increase, then maybe no choice have to make 2 trips liao.....and for your health. Thatz quite a distance to cycle... Aiyah, not true lah. Here so-call exercise and eat junk food at the other end. Now I cycle my kid to his Kindergarten school in Anchorvale every morning before I go to work. Next year he P1 liao. So my cycling trip will end in Nov.
