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
Orthodox Easter wishes of peace & calm for these + all children in/from Ukraine.
We made a big delivery for a little group this week. Over 110kg of chocolate & Easter Eggs plus toys and essentials (flour, sugar, biscuits, oil, tea) to evacuated orphans & families in #Zakarpattia
@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.
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 ZΓ‘hony to prepare for Easter deliveries... this is the side of humanitarian work that's often not appreciated, sorting, packing and carrying everything!
Hungarian Easter holidays...
Thursday is Friday
Friday is Saturday
Saturday and Sunday are holidays
Monday is Sunday
Tuesday is Workday
Limited shopping opportunities for supplies as everything closes and families get together
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!
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.
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.
Teddybusz is back! #zahony Easter 2023 delivery! 1750 miles from #westonsupermare. 110kg chocolate, almost 100kg of flour/sugar/oil, kids toys, knitted teddies and blankets ready for delivery
April 1 update:
New roofbox fitted to #teddybusz during our stop at @museumtechnik . Loads more room for chocolate now. We've somehow got 110kg of Easter eggs and treats fitted in the van already...
4 days to go, can you help boost to these numbers? Please RT/share!
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!!
Saturday update...
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.
Amazon deliveries still possible or local collection!
