"Come To Papa" Cash-Strapped Bachelor Says To Heavily-Discounted Hot Cross Buns

Bargains are to be had today at the Betoota Heights IGA and one local bachelor was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.

Kerrod Jenkins, the overnight security guard at Remienko Airport, secured 15 bags of soon-to-be expired hot cross buns for just $3.

Speaking to our reporter on the ground, the 37-year-old said the haul should keep him "half-fed" for weeks.

"I have a tub of marge and a toaster, that's half the battle," he said.

"But what a catch. Just up doing a light shop. Getting some bananas, milk and Chinese smokes from the tobacconist over the road. But when I came in, I saw this pile of hot cross buns and the sign saying 5 for $1. I thought it was a mistake but the supermarket bloke said, 'Nah, go off king,' and I filled my basket. Even the Easter Eggs were hard to walk by,"

"It's enough calories to get me through the next couple weeks."

Kerrod looked over his shoulder.

"Sorry, just checking if there's any ladies in earshot. Nah, I'm just going to freeze the cunce and do em bit by bit. What a day. I'm chalking this up as a big win."

More to come.
