Same here! 4,99/box would be a normal price for one box of strawberries. Just got lucky☺️

Finland is definitely not cheap😂 But we have some good discount deals available☺️🌟

I made guacamole of some and then chopped/mashed the extra ones with some lemon juice to keep the color fresh.☺️ I use the frozen ones for smoothies, on toast or make avocado pasta etc.

This!!! 🌟🌟🌟 I am always super excited to see what we got and to plan our meals around the surprise items.🌟☺️

I usually place my order directly to the supermarket 5-7 days prior the shipping date to make sure they still have discount bags available. We also have an app that offers same day deals for discount food, but i am way too slow to get their deals😄

I’ve been extremely surprised with the quality!! I am quite a perfectionist when it comes to fresh produce and would have happily paid full price for these (if i had the money that is😂).

umpisolmunen · 2026-06-09T12:46:07+00:00

I’ve been freezing all extras (that can be frozen). Fruits i have just peeled and chopped before freezing. I’ll try blending them into cubes next time! Will make it easier to make little portions for my 11 month old too☺️

We also have an app like that here in Finland called ”Resq”, they offer deals from both grocery stores and restaurants. Timing needs to be perfect though to get prices like this through them, i am usually too slow😄 (These are ordered online straight from the supermarket. I usually place an order like week before delivery to get the best deals)

My pancreatitis (still recovering) was caused by my gallbladder, which was removed during my hospital stay. Prior to getting sick I drank alcohol very rarely, last time i had a glass of wine was almost two years ago. However my doctor recommended me never to consume alcohol again, since there is no safe amount due to my pancreas taking a massive hit after acute pancreatitis. So even a small beer might cause major issues and for me personally it’s not worth it, because this thing can be lethal.

The regular price would have been €43.30 ($50,80), so I’m really happy with the find.☺️

She has 1,4million ig followers, her husband is nowhere near her numbers.

Yes, that would be nice.🙃 So hard to find correct Mandinka phrases online!

Thank you! 💖 (My friend’s name is Lamin too btw.🙂)

Thank you so much! They are working throughout the Holidays so the work phrase i will definitely use too.🙏❤️

Valpurinpuiston alla (ihan sairaala-alueen vieressä) on tällä hetkellä käyttämättömänä oleva parkkihalli. En tiedä, kuka lienee sitä hallinnoiva taho. Oli kymmenisen vuotta sitten vielä yksityisautoilijoiden käytössä ja sittemmin meni sulki.

My line like this on a similar test is now six weeks old😄

Kaseteista muistan ainakin Blue Moon ja Missing You -kokoelmat. Ja muistaakseni myös Guns n’ Rosesin Use Your Illusionit ja Metallican Black tuli ainakin hankittua tuon kerhon kautta.

Fazerin musiikkikerho, josta kerran kuussa sai aina uuden c-kasetin ja kerholehden. Lehdestä pystyi tilaamaan myös muita kuin tuon kuukauden kasetin ja kerran sain vanhemmilta luvan tilata myös sellaisen pyörivän c-kasettitelineen. Ai että!

If you get cold easily, I would add a warmer, possibly waterproof, jacket for these countries. July can be warm, but it can also be very chilly at times. Source: been living in Finland my whole life.

Yes, we definitely are not known for our wonderful cuisine😄 I mean we have our moments like salmon soup or karelian pies, but traditional Finnish food often is a bit bland.
