The Price is Right

Everyone has heard of how expensive Russia is.  So lets play a little price is right.

Which of these cost 600 rubles/20 USD.

Number 1: A very ugly umbrella bought under duress during a thunderstorm.  Keep in mind this is a brand name umbrella, everyone has heard of the Zest brand after all. And Adam LOVES to play with the umbrella cover.

Aunt Daf & Uncle Meej- I love my cool new Parisian sweater!

Number 2: Two bags of groceries at the supermarket.

Dina- I finally got baked beans (at least the picture on the can leads me to believe thats what it is)

Number 3: A bunch of postcards, one of these is probably headed your way soon!

Number 4: Adam’s new toy, which he spotted on the shelf and immediately fell in love with, Niles who?

If you answered all of these you are correct.

For some reason when I bought the umbrella I was really bothered by the fact that it was twenty bucks. And we even did some comparison shopping (yes-during the thunderstorm) AND twenty bucks was the cheapest one we could find! TJ Maxx, where are you when I need you.

Why is it only the umbrella bothers me?  I clearly have a problem if I’m spending 20 bucks on postcards but that didn’t bother me.

  1. Yes Grandma Gertch, one of those postcards are for your friend. But her one of the actual Kremlin. Does she want the Red Square (where St. Basils and Lenin are? The groceries are surprisingly affordable IF you stick to Russain brands and fruits and veg.

  2. If the postcards were that much what does postage cost?!Let me know how those beans are, I'm a bit skeptical …why do I think I'm going to be buying you baked beans when you guys move like the sunflower seeds and gum?!

  3. The postage was also 20 bucks but didn't make the cut. Those beans are Green Giant! I have high hopes for those. I blame you and Sol for my new love of baked beans, so it's only fitting you bring over a couple of those big cans you guys had 🙂
