Chips? Ready to make type chips, and I know you can get 1kg frozen at the supermarket, but I'm just wondering if there is a cheaper/bulkier way to buy chips aside from being the owner of a fish n chip shop?  -------------  |

Mad Butcher does them as well in bulk lots. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Do you want them for something specific? Cause I make my own chip, peel and cut up spuds coat in vege oil and roast in oven until golden. Only takes 30 mins at 200 ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

I tend to buy them in bulk when they are on special at Countdown, they have the Talleys 1kg bags 3 for $5 quite often. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Do you know anyone who has a Gilmores card? You would definitely be able to get them in bulk from there.
I'm with Fleury though - dead easy to make your own. I don't even bother to peel (more nutrients that way), so just cut and bung in a baking tray with some oil. Even nicer if you add some rock salt, rosemary and cloves of garlic. |

You could try moore wilsons too. They often have bulk frozen goods (check the ingrediants though - not all frozen chips are gluten free, I make my own oven chips like Fleury) -------------

Seeings as Palmy doesn't have Gilmores (never heard of that place, but I am guessing it is like our Toops) or Moore Wilsons you can't really try those places but does your work have a Toops card, they may have them. Or do you know anyone with a Toops card??? ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Toops is the only other option in Palmy. Or what about the frozen foods factory out on Railway road?? They might have them they sell bulk frozen stuff cheap. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |
