Someone had thrown out two of them because one of the attachments didn't work but everything else was fine.<br /><br />So the appliance, it's like a stab blender that comes with a few attachments ie whisk, stab blender, and a 'blitzer' (sorry I don't know a better word for it) with a small two piece blade (like a 2 bladed fan) that goes round and round... like this one:<br />http://www.bigbrownbox.com.au/sunbeam-stick-blender-sm8650/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=CSE&utm_content=shopping&gclid=CP-k7_2B1rcCFU0hpQodzwMAig<br />it's the round with the lid attachement...<br /><br />Hope that's some help? Even you could borrow one and do a big lot up and then you'd be right for a while?Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413684955650645277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299305260728392911.post-42214766418209709502013-06-09T10:09:28.221+08:002013-06-09T10:09:28.221+08:00Hi Kristy, I just popped across from Little Eco Fo...Hi Kristy, I just popped across from Little Eco Footprints. <br /><br />What do you use to chop your oats? I am a little basic in the appliance department, but this sounds like a great idea. I tend to make porridge by the pot full like you. Sometimes I soak the oats overnight to make it quicker - if I'm that organised! - or else it's just weetbix for breakfast here too :)<br /><br />But, the kids would love some DIY sachets, I am sure :) Kirsten McCullochhttp://sustainablesuburbia.net/non-toxic-printablesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299305260728392911.post-28641827053892196222013-05-18T17:24:42.317+08:002013-05-18T17:24:42.317+08:00I hope that I didn't come across as rude :) Wa...I hope that I didn't come across as rude :) Was just makign suggestions because I did the same thing, 'oh one day I need to find a bulk foods' and I confess that I didn't actually, a friend who did a bulk order for their church, mentioned it to me... so that's kinda cheating on the 'to do' list lol isn't it :)Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413684955650645277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299305260728392911.post-72365200105252024202013-05-18T17:19:19.360+08:002013-05-18T17:19:19.360+08:00Oh and not on my blog.

You're right that I could probably find a source if I tried a bit harder, just always put it in the 'to do' basket!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975556587020883049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299305260728392911.post-75490423373931940952013-05-18T15:03:05.065+08:002013-05-18T15:03:05.065+08:00Hi Linda.

I'm not so probably no help to you in terms of the bulk foods dept, sorry!<br /><br />BUT the place I get mine from sells to hotels and restaurants etc so long as I meet the minimum order of $150 (which is not hard, a few bags of oats, organic local flour etc) they deliver to me for free so maybe a commercial type bulk foods place in your area might do the same? Otherwise, ask your local restaurants or churches where they do their bulk ordering from, perhaps?<br /><br />Good luck finding a bulk foods place :) PS Maybe try... what's that Aussies Living Simply forum? they might (probably) have a post or two on there about local bulk foods places... I'll have to go check out your blog now for muesli bar recipes :)Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413684955650645277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299305260728392911.post-72937346077402598882013-05-18T14:47:54.225+08:002013-05-18T14:47:54.225+08:00I'd love to know where you buy your oats in 2...I'd love to know where you buy your oats in 25 kg bags!
