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.
You’ve seen the first part, now enjoy the second, this time with a real coke explosion:
As promissed earlier, here’s some more info about the happy day when our local mall, Nordcenter Stor, finally completed the expansion.
Hmm… this actually has nothing to do with the Nordcenter, expect for the fact that the coke and mentos was bought there. Anyway, enjoy the movie:
Yesterday was the day of the grand opening of the newly expanded Storcenter Nord and of course we had to go there and have a look. I’ll post more about that later, for now I’ll just show you the winning picture of the day: when Lars and Rune met Fætter BR:
Stéphanie and I have become a pair of those strange people you
sometimes hear about who don’t watch TV… it started when I got back
home from Switzerland and didn’t install my TV tuner in my computer
right away. Suddenly a month had passed without a TV, and it wasn’t
something which I particularly missed.
The silly thing is that we have the big plan at Stofa, paying some 200
DKK (~$30) a month for nothing. Not exactly nothing, since we’re also
getting our Internet connection through Stofa, so I thought that we
were required to have a TV subscription too.
That is true if you get your Internet over their cable network, but
Stofa also offers their Internet through ADSL, and for that you don’t
need any TV subscription. So today I called Stofa to have them switch
us over and terminate the TV subscription.
Of course they were happy to help, but at a price… First of all it
turns out that you only have four chances a year to cancel your
subscription, once every quarter. And as if that wasn’t enough, you
have to do it two months in advance… So we have to keep paying for
the full package until December.
Couldn’t we just switch to a smaller and cheaper package? Of course we
can, but at a price… Switching would save us 150 DKK a month, but
the switch itself costs 500 DKK! Those bastards have us exactly where
they want us!
