TA's normal asking price was 2k then it become 3k which is their new normal and then from there it becomes whatever they want to to justify their x% discount. Before their current sale it was 4k baseline, before that it was 4500k because of asking price of the seller. Then they made it 4500 again so that 4k seems to be a sale and now it is marked up to 3500k to make it seem cheaper from the normal 3k. Well this is if you followed their price rotations for a while and we all know how their sales really work.

edit: in fact, writing a price rotation watch app would be interesting. right. haha.

Is that website even legit?

Its a nedbank-everyshop probably even before everyshop itself. afaik it is legit.

I really, really love pasta. And the Chinese makes a lot of wontons and mien as well, and it's the same basic recipe either way.

Welcome to the marketing team.

Pasta dough freezes really well. I make it in 1kg batches, portion it, and freeze it.

Then its not fresh any more - but frozen.

Seeing as you're supposed to let it rest in the fridge, think of this as hibernation. Still plenty fresh enough.

Unless you really need to justify buying a ridiculously expensive machine that makes dough to someone.
