You can get 25kg bags of DEXTROSE (sugar) from farm/grain stores for $28 to $32 but you need to shop around because some stores will charge up to $55 for the exact same product.

Make friends with your local bakery and they would probably buy in a few extra 25kg bags of white sugar for you.

This can't be done quickly. But from now on every time you go to the shop? 3 x 2kgs of sugar.

Your son goes? Get me some sugar. Your daughter goes? Get me some sugar. The wife says "Do we need anything from the shops?"

...you answer "SUGAR".

Vary up your shops and stick to home brand and you can build up a stockpile very quickly.

If my wife stops in for 2 litres of milk she also grabs 3 x 2kg bags of sugar.

If I get just a loaf of bread I also grab 6kgs of sugar. Every time.

When it's on special you can go nuts, no one ever questions a big bulk buy on a cheap price.

I just buy 6 or 8kg whenever I go shopping... Woollies was out of white sugar today, so I bought raw sugar on special. Should go nicely in the next generation of my cornflakes :handgestures-thumbupleft:

That's up to you mate. First stuff i ran thru the plater was raw sugar bwko. It was very nice but very sweet. Personally feel our corn sugarheads are sweet enough.
So in summary :teasing-blah: :teasing-blah:

Ol dear in front of me looks at the sugar and you could see she just wanted to say something.
So she leans over toward me and says "Need a lot of sweetening does she?"

I really don't think its anyone's business how much sugar I choose to buy in a super market..........let the f#@&*s look.
Have you ever noticed when the cartons of coke and other soft drinks are on special, people wheeling whole trolly loads out.........around here they do anyway .....they are small shop owners and people running charity events buying up big cause they cant buy it that cheap wholesale. Do they get asked why they want so much???.........cause its cheap and Im stocking up could be the answer.
