Official Coles Trip #6

Hello again.
This week we have for you, a very special Coles trip.

In one way, Its special simply because its being posted on the day of the trip for the first time ever!

Even more so, it was a little bigger than usual, the biggest ever to be exact. Then again, Robbie couldn’t make it and word is spreading fast, so we feel there’s yet bigger Coles trips on the horizon. I guess we’ve still got some tricks up our sleeve. Alright, here we go.

Attendees: Ben, Ezra, Jack, Kieran, Kieren, Kirsten, Nick and myself.

Food Inventory:

1. 2x YLC 2L Juice (It strikes again! Apple and orange this time.)
2. 2x YLC Frozen Chicken Nuggets 400g
3. 2x Coles SB Family Assorted Biscuits 500g (1kg of biscuits for less than the price of 500g, need I say more?)
4. YLC 2L Coffee Flavoured Milk (Tears of angels accoring to Nick)
5. Candy Lane TV Mix 400g (It’s got sultanas, licorice bullets and everyone’s favorite; nuts. Then, its all coated in chocolate. For 150g more than a block of chocolate at the same price, whats not to like?)
6. YLC Shredded Tasty Cheese 250g
7. Coles SB White Bread
8. Homestyle Large Slice White Bread (Jack’s signature)
9. Coles SB 100x Napkins
10. Fountain Sweet Chilli Sauce 250mL (It was a dollar!)
11. Allens Family Size Snakes 450g (Half a kilo of sugar in snake form for 3 dollars? Yes please!)
12. Bulla 2L Cookies and Cream Ice cream

As you can see, it’s a pretty solid haul. Infact, reading through the docket now, I’m pretty sure they never charged us for the (expensive) bread. Score! That’s $2.69 that we will be keeping in our pockets…

The more astute readers of this will note that once again, YLC Ultimate Choc Chip cookies are absent from our shopping. Coles and the team will have to have some words if this is ever to happen again in the future…

This week was a bit of a mission with such a huge group, and such small aisles. More so, on the way we finally decided to settle the score with which was is quicker to Coles; Via Hawken Drive, or By the colleges. Well, Nick and Kirsten took the win going by the colleges, however they were later disqualified due to cheating. In the end the rest of us met up with Ben and Kieren at the exact same time! (They also went by the colleges.) So, in the end we figured Hawken Drive was quicker since we lost a little time due to being gang-raped on the way. Nick however disagrees that this is the superior route due to the possibility of being violated. I dunno, you be the judge.

Anyway, we eventually got out and headed back to the uni with 7L of liquid (ice cream counts), 1.5kg of bread, a kilogram of biscuits, 800g of nuggets and similar amounts of confectionery. Thinking about the numbers like that was kinda scary.

I’m sure you can guess that we had far more food than we could really handle. Thats the way we like it. Speaking of more than we can handle, I would like to bring up another thing we indulge in of a Monday. It is tradition that Nick get stuck with at least 10 pushups in “The Game.”

What? You don’t know what The Game is? Well it’s probably because you aren’t studying Mechatronics. Regardless, if you love doing pushups in public places, like Nick, you’re missing out, I assure you.

So that’s about all for this week. Hope you enjoyed it.
Now, time for Mech study…

Oh, and to make up for one of the trips which i slacked off on the photos, I made up for it this week (in quantity, not quality). Speaking of which, we might need to upgrade our picture taking ability from the craptacular offerings of Apple…

Note, Ben’s blue hair (that’ll teach him to sleep anywhere that isn’t his house…) Also, Jack is such a machine that he codes while walking, stare in awe.
