Geocaching Australia

A certain supermarket chain - let's call them "C" - seem to have a half-price special On the cacher's most Loved & favouritE - Sistema containers! I'm unsure if this is just Victoria or even just the store I visited but I grabbed a variety pack and an special one I'm hoping will fit a certain hiding place I have in mind for a new cache soon. Stock up on new caches while you can before the sale ends!

You do realise you can say brand names and shop names here............

Costco?

Crazy Clints?

Where? where? where? -Coles?????

Oh in that case C="Coles"! (the cacher in me hid it in capital letters in the original post anyway )

Normally I don't shop there very often, despite it being closest to home - but in this case it paid off

Saw this while doing the shop a few days ago- didn't buy any but will as one of my caches has been muggled following a PAF

I brought a whole load of half-priced sistemas last time they were on special...and i have no idea where i put them.

I guess that means i'll just have to buy more.

Any half price mint tins?

LOL I'm afraid not ("purist" 'cachers rejoice!) Safeway had them discounted if I recall correctly as I bought another three - and realised I still had three unopened from the last time I restocked - doh! So many tins, all looking for homes... I also have a stockpile of old/dead harddrives to dissect for magnets, and a collection of other sorts of tins... Maybe once I clock up 6 months straight daily finds I might switch to hiding one a day - err week or um maybe month. ish...

And very timely it was, too, as I have an event coming up where I needed 50 odd small containers!

BTW, don't go to the Coles in Kalamunda if you want 200ml containers; they're out of stock.

So how powerful are the magnets in the hard drives and is it worthwhile dissecting them. I have a few old drives sitting around as well.

Very and yes.

I guess it is time to look it up on YouTube on how to do it, as I assume you don't use a sledgehammer.

Yes and no.
