three weeks ago i was unemployed and looking for work...
on the sunday night a friend rings me up..
"Can you come out and do some mango packing?"
i say "sure" and i go out to howard springs on the monday and do some mango packing (cash in hand) while there i work hard and they want me for the rest of the mango season yay! money to mod and upgrade my pc :D
i also warn my friend "there maybe some days that i cant work because im with jobfind and every so often they will ring up and ask me to do somthing..ie go for interviews etc."
he says "ok, no problem"

i get home about 4pm to a message "jobfind have been ringing all day, Kosmos foods want you to start tomorrow."
no interview or nothin......

woot!!! legit fulltime/casual work with all the benifits.
i ring my mango packin friend, he was understanding and i got my brother to help so they wouldnt be short...

tuesday i arrive at kosmos and start working in their freezer section constant -18 degrees, workin hard all day...
i get home with the start of a headache and go to bed...
i wake up in the morning (wed) and start throwing up constantly so i go to hospital and they try to help. works for a whilebut by friday morn im no better off to hospital again... less help than the first time... then the bali tragedy happens and i cant get into hospital... a week and a half later(tuesday just gone) im well enough to work again. this time im workin in the dry section (yay, the freezer caused my goatee to freeze multiple times) im happy that they were understanding and held my job for me,

anyway the main point is that now im workin for kosmos i can get bulk food n stuff pretty cheap
eg. box of 6 chocolate bavarians about $20
bag of dim sims 1kg about $6.50
mrs macs pies range from $28 for 24 or "8 per doz in other flavours
nestle blend 43 1kg $36
plus more, we sell all sots o stuff (50pages in pricelist) including all Dominos and Pizza haven stock (im not buying their pizzas ever again) if any one wants price of somthin or such drop me a line.. and i will see what i can do..[/u]

nay unfortunatly it is 50 pages of small print
it would take me a month or more to do it :?
im not trained in DB entry (although i have done it before as part of a previous job, which the Great Spudman is now doing :wink: )

the easiest way i can think is to write up what i'd think would be most popular and their prices them post it to the trading forum or you think of whta you want i see if its on list and let you know what price and size and quantity its sold in.
:idea: i might take it to some one i knows place and scan it in as .pdf's or somthing then..... hmmm i could email them or somethin (couple @ a time) :?

Hay Kakumba, don't want to rain on your parade buddy, but small suggestion. Dont post your list mate. Get people to PM you if they want something. You post a staff pricelist on a public forum and you leave yourself open to litigation by your employer. Sorry mate its Monday and ive been going over contract negotiations at work.......
Congrats on getting the Job just don't screw your self by trying to help others mate.....
