How to save on food
Our family (two adults, and two boys, aged 16 and 12) visited Fiji during the May school holidays with the New Zealand Association of Veteran Athletes for the First. Oceania Championships. We stayed at Nandi, the Coral Coast, and Suva and went to Treasure Island. We stayed in hotels, an apartment for a week, and a bure on Treasure Island. We took with us packets of cracker and wine biscuits, powdered drink (and a plastic container to make it up in), tins of fruit (and an opener), breakfast cereal, cheese, butter, marmalade, jam and vegemite, a small
clothes line, household soap for handwashing, plastic plates and cutlery, and a. sharp knife wrapped in a tea-towel and carried in one of our suitcases, not hand luggage. We boiled all drinking . water, and did not buy fruit, vegetables, or food that was not sealed. We bought fresh bread from the hot bread shop in Suva. The food we took supplemented with fresh pineapples, paw-paw and bananas from the market , meant we never had to buy breakfast or lunches. —Mrs L. A. Steele, Prossers Road, St Martins.
