Back from the market. Found some honeycomb so that was a win. The whole experience left me very 'whelmed' though.

Some dickhead is attempting to sell toasties for SIXTEEN (16) AUSTRALIAN DOLLERYDOOS each. Incredible. I paid $6 for a walkin' around pretzel which may have been made yesterday because it was not fresh and under salted. I went to buy 2 simple iced donuts, 1 for me and 1 for Ron thinking they'd be fresh and delicious.. nope, chewy and $11.40. I felt like a banana smoothie but from what I can tell you literally cannot buy that. If you want a 12 berries, flaxseeds, rocket, dove feathers, spinach, kale, carrot and almond milk smoothie for $17 they have you covered though. Just whack some banana, frozen yoghurt, beef milk and maybe a dash of honey if you're feeling fancy into a blender and sell it to me for $8 you pretentious puffy-coated bastards.

I did pick up a lil lasagne for dinner from the fresh pasta place so I'm hoping that's good. Oh and I was only there for like 45 minutes I think so parking was free, which is nice.

    I actually relate to a lot of what you said. When I was younger, markets were places to go to get bargains, cheaper than retail or cheap imported stuff. Now I find, especially on the ready to eat hot food side of things, it's not a bargain at all. Last week there was a stall selling pretty average gozleme for $15 each. At my local not terribly cheap bakery I can get 2 for less than that price! It's crazy. I ended up buying an underwhelming pie and 3 (admittedly very tasty) sausage rolls and ended up with very little change from $30. $16 for a toasty is just outright fucking ridiculous!

    What are you going to do with the honeycomb?
