Happy weekend to you 🙂
Wishing you all a wonderful year ahead, filled with love, laughter, good food and wonderful friendships! I hope 2024 brings you joy
The mangoes are ripening, and are absolutely delicious! This is a great opportunity to buy organic mangoes for less than $2 each. There are just 9 trays left 🙂
Please remember to purchase your 2024 FOP Australia Wall calendar for their fundraiser if you have not already done so 🙂 You can read more about FOP and the need for the fundraiser here.
We have some bimonthly orders currently open, which will close on New Year’s Day. We also have eggs open once again this week, after a week off, as well as the usual fortnightly orders, and one monthly order, too.
Also, a reminder that there are reviews for some products from orders that are currently open:
Orders Permanently Open
A reminder that the following orders are always open and available for purchase:
Mango Fundraiser - this will be open until the Fills trays sell out. More information can be found in the 2nd September Newsletter.
Tomato Condiment Fundraiser - this will be open until the products run out.
Cheeky Monkey - Heat bags made from 100% cotton fabric and thread, with removable, washable covers. They contain corn instead of wheat, making them suitable for people with wheat allergies. You can read more about them on the product pages;
Olive and Bee Intimate Cream - recommended by one of our members who has been using it for a couple of years. It has uses as a moisturiser and massage oil as well as a personal lubricant. It has two ingredients - olive oil and beeswax - and is Australian made and owned by a small business. We have some tester tubes coming soon. You can read more about it on the product page;
There are always items available in Fills. Fills are important because they let us buy items in bulk (by the carton) so we can continue to get big discounts, but items do need to keep moving through there to keep us financially viable 🙂 So if you need anything, or want to treat yourself to something (there’s always cheese!) head over and check out Fills.
