Do I live in FøTeX?!
I was just playing around with my home banking… I exported the data for the last year to OOCalc and filtered it based on the descriptive text associated with each entry. So I discovered that I’ve spend no less than 8,897.67 DKK (roughly 1,500 USD or 1,200 EUR) in the FøTeX in Storcenter Nord! And that’s for the last six months only since I was in Switzerland until Marts this year.
Spending almost 9,000 kroners on 51 shopping sprees is an average of 175 DKK per visit. Auch — FøTeX is an expensive place to enter! Comparing FøTeX to some of the cheaper super markeds I see that both Netto and Fakta average around 130 DKK per visit for me. So I could probably save some money by shopping there more often.
These statistics are wrong by an unknow factor since they only reflect the spendings I’ve made with my credit card (Dankort). So the “score” for FøTeX would be even higher if one included all the little visits I’ve made where I paid with cash. They also include the stuff I’ve bought for our lunch club, which might help to explain the many expensive visits made to FøTeX.

In the (admittedly far from perfect German) words of Red Warszawa:
DAS KÜHLSCHRANK IST LEER
DIE GEMÜSEN KANN NICHT MEHR
SIE SIND ALLE FAULEN
ICH MUSS WAS NEUES KAUFEN
ICH HAB KEIN GELD
MUSS FLASCHEN VERKAUFEN
ALDI
ICH KOMM ZU DICH ‘REIN
ALDI
DU BIST EIN SCHVEIN
ALDI
ALTEN OMAS KLAUEN HIER
ALDI
UND DU KLAUST VON MIR
KEINER FRUENDEN HIER
DIE JUNGEN KAUFEN BIER
OMAS KLAUEN KATZEESSEN
ZU BEZALEN SIE VERGESSEN
DAS FLEISCH IST NUR FETT
ABER DIE KASSEDAME IST NETT
ALDI…
DIE GEMÜSE SIND ALTE
UND DIE BIER IST ALLE
EIN OMA VIRD GENOMMEN
DAS POLIZIE WILL KOMMEN
MAN GLAUB ES BILLEG IST
ABER ICH VEISS WAS DU BIST
ALDI…

Alright, I’d better clear this up before some smartass starts commenting it. I did not write the song, it just copied it. I cannot be held responsible for the many errors in it or the “accidental” deaths of my enemies.

However, I do hold myself responsible for the error I made in the last comment. Or do I?

I datamined me and my girlfriend’s data a couple of months ago. We live right next to Føtex near AAU (outside the city) so do all our daily shopping there. IIRC, the monthly average spendings are about 2300 kr with the variance about 200-400 kr.
BTW, it’s Føtex with small ‘t’ and ‘x’ and it’s not pronounced Føh-tech, you LaTeX-nut. :-)

Hi Ole — you guys must live just inside the automatic doors in your FøTeX to spend so much money there. Incredible :-)
As for the spelling and pronounciation, then I’m aware of the problem. We (some guys at DAIMI) have decided to fix it slowly by writing capital ‘T’ and ‘X’es wherever we can :-)
