Bag full of Show


About 8.45am a courier arrived with a rather large box addressed to me. Inside were the infamous Royal Melbourne Show Bags that were part of my Herald Sun prize. I had thought there was 4 ie one for each party on the entry ticket. However, nine bags arrived.
In typical accounting fashion Kingsley and I quickly checked out the website to see what the sale value was. To buy these would have cost around $55 but some claim to have much more than their sale price in value included. In addition we received a family ticket for 2 adults and 2 children to view the new animated movie 'Surfs Up" at the cinema. Full retail value of that is around $50 as well. Not a bad return for one online competition entry.
To top off our day we also won $2 on a Tattersalls scratchie. Kingsley found a dollar coin so we thought we would try our luck and ended up with an extra dollar!.

It doesn't seem fair that you get the bags full of lollies past their use by dates and back issues of magazines they couldn't sell without having to suffer for hours mixing it with the bogans at the showgrounds

But was it exciting to win something?

Candy? Did someone say something about candy?

Hi Melinda! Let's just say that TeamSAK now have enough candy to feed the entire population of Melbourne if they come around trick or treating at the end of the month!
