And unlike Hungary, no rationing!

As we saw on our recent visit to #uzhorrod, shops are well stocked with fine foods

I promised to write some prices for fruit and vegetables. All of the prices are average and relevant for today. Why? We have more local products because of spring. So the prices are getting lower day by day. Yes, the farmers are working hard despite the war.

So (all the prices per kilo):
Strawberries - $5-6
Blueberries - $22
Cucumbers - starting from $2,3
Tomatoes - starting from $2,3
Potatoes - starting from $0,4
Zucchini - $2,3
Cabbage - $2
Onion - $1,4
Green onion - $8
Garlic - $2,3

@Mylovanov We've been on the borders enough to know every word is true... UN, IOM, UNICEF, Red Cross etc etc with their armies of highly paid "obervers" in nice uniforms and fancy cars standing around while locals do the helping.

[TeddyBusz @TeddyBusz]

120 cotton bags packed with a large @CadburyUK egg, carrot of treats (mini eggs, haribo, Cadbury bar, #cremeegg) plus 100 bunny bags without the big egg.

"Behind the scenes" at the Hotel Europa in Záhony to prepare for Easter deliveries... this is the side of humanitarian work that's often not appreciated, sorting, packing and carrying everything!

[TeddyBusz @TeddyBusz]

Hungarian Easter holidays...
Thursday is Friday
Friday is Saturday
Saturday and Sunday are holidays
Monday is Sunday

Limited shopping opportunities for supplies as everything closes and families get together

[TeddyBusz @TeddyBusz]

While enjoying a few days in Budapest, we also made over 100 corn flake cakes and, along with little packets of mini-eggs, these were our contributions on the EU side of the border. The eggs you donated all went to Ukraine... see next post!

[TeddyBusz @TeddyBusz]

Easter at the border #1 Family Day, Egg Hunt and Adults Bingo. Although in Hungary these children and families have lived 13 months of disruption (schools closed, work burden on parents etc). Nice they aren't left out.

[TeddyBusz @TeddyBusz]

Shopping restrictions in Hungary continue. We've stocked up on oil, sugar, flour, pasta, rice and biscuits thanks to donations received, if you can help us add to these https://t.co/qGIcxYCWVg . Deliveries to Ukraine on Tuesday.

@507stre @networkrail @DBCargoUK @LNER @teddybusz here was founded by a train driver from @GWRHelp, in 10 days collected 5000 teddies then spent 3 months unpaid leave at #zahony border railway station giving them to #refugeechildren.

[TeddyBusz @TeddyBusz]

Especially wanted! @HariboUKI_ sweets for children who can't have chocolate.

Also pens & Easter crafts to fill tote bags donated by @CrossCountryUK

Don't forget... Still time for an Amazon order!!

[TeddyBusz @TeddyBusz]

Sunday packing! 80kg of chocolate so far!

[TeddyBusz @TeddyBusz]

Can you help us? 5 days to go... more Haribo or Dairy/GF would be a great help for kids who can't eat Milk Chocolate.
