    You shouldn't buy the dishwasher pods in the grocery store. They are often at sale in shops like ,kruidvat or action. Same goes for wasmachine pods. They are way to expensive in the grocery stores.

    I'm also a South African legal professional considering moving! Please can you take us through the visa process and maybe also you and husband both adapting to working in the Netherlands versus SA :) Love the channel! Keep it up!

    Welcome to the Netherlands, Marté.
    The weather here is a daily challenge but I think you are already adapting to that.
    And a little advice being in the Netherlands. If you have any questions about almost anything, just ask people. Others in shops, on the streets, neighbours, colleagues, anyone.
    Normal Dutch people don't mind and will help you.
    Dutch Directness 😂😉👍

    Dreft is the most expensive brand for dischwasher pods. Try the Jumbo store brand. Does the same, costs 1/3.

    heh, drop the Jumbo groceries for your "daily" stuff. go to the Action for your dishwasher tablets, do the basics at Aldi and Lidl and then use Jumbo or Albert Heijn for stuff where taste is important :)
    oh, and Lidl gets the best scores for fresh fruit and vegetables almost every year so when you're not buying stuff at markets just get it there for relatively decent prices :)

      @@martebarnard In the Aciton a lot of stuff is of bad quality, dishwasher tablets oke. Never buy tools for the garden and often they imitate stuff from other stores, but than the plastic is thinner, the contstruction sucks and so on. People are buying there a lot of stuff, whichs comes in the trash bin soon. Nothing wrong with other articles though, so use your common sense.

    Here's a free tip from a Dutchie hahaha (free, we Dutch love free) for a better cheese and stroopwafel experience, I recommend you go to a cheese shop or just to a market. This also applies to stroopwafels. They taste best when freshly baked. After this experience you will never want anything else.
