US$3.90 per pound for salmon at Woolworths [the conversion from NZ$19.99 per kilogram] beats the US$5 per pound you pay. Check the quality too! <We pay $4.99/lb for salmon, so it doesn't look promising.> The link works every time for me to 'departments'. woolworths.co.nz Also, you are destroying the environment, wasting time and precipitating a worldwide financial collapse by washing your dishes by hand. You use MORE electricity AND water AND detergent washing your dishes by hand, AND you waste some time [which could be spent using the most valuable skills you have, which I assume is something more valuable than washing dishes]. A single draw dishwasher is very very convenient to use, uses less hot water than you use in your sink and less detergent. Slide it open, put the dishes and things in, push it shut, push 'go' then go away and earn $$ doing some legal work or do some exercise [or read more SI]. Come back and they are all clean and dry. No bench clutter, no muss, no fuss. <DishDrawer® is kind on the environment, minimizing water, energy and detergent used, so it costs less to run. It introduces the economical, guilt free small load, by using as little as 2.4 gallons of water per unit. A single unit of half a load, means you save half the energy, water and detergent. Breakfast or lunch dishes can be taken care of immediately.> dishdrawer.com If you put the day's dishes in the dishdrawer, you will use only a little water [1.8 gallons or 7 litres - a sink half-full of water is about 10 litres]. You will waste no time. You will use less detergent. You will save electricity. You will have an uncluttered bench. No ants. You could even wash every two days if there are few of you using the dishwasher. Borrow some US$ from Uncle Al at low mortgage interest rates, buy the dishwasher which is cheap from Kiwiland, the F&P people will use your $$ to buy CDMA phones from Samsung, who will pay royalties and buy ASICs from QUALCOMM, who will pay taxes to GeorgeW to keep USS Enterprise ship-shape and invest the rest in teaching Chinese and Indians about CDMA and building CDMA production facilities, software for BREW applications and stuff like that. You are the glitch which will cause the international financial collapse. Buy a dishwasher today! Save the world. Get the single-draw version if that's all you need. Get the gas cooktop too. [Don't order the salmon - it will not be fresh by the time it gets to Peoria]. Save the world! Go shopping. Mqurice PS: Buy a CDMA phone too, preferably the Kyocera 6035 which will give you SI and other internet access all over the place. Take a look: kyocera.com

We pay $4.99/lb for salmon, so it doesn't look promising. $USD4.99 per pound = $US10.99 per kilo = $NZ 25.03 per kilo which was exactly the same price before they took off the $NZ5. Salmon here is about $A20 per kilo which is pretty similar. David

I do dishes by hand and save the electricity. CB, do you run the hot water (at least for rinsing) as opposed to the closed system of the dishwasher ? You may be not saving as much as you think. In fact you may not be saving if you have a newer dishwasher. regards Kastel
