| 1219553 | 2011-07-27 22:46:00 | Why are we moaning sooo much about Fruit & Vege. prices? Australia has had a 67% increase including Bananas @ $14 a kilo.:yuck: Let's not moan too much. |

| 1219554 | 2011-07-27 22:53:00 | I saw tomatoes in Pak N Save for $12+ yesterday. Bananas were about $2.78. I grow my own tomatoes. I do not buy bananas unless they are under $2. |

The price of bananas in Australia is due to a shortage caused by Cyclone Yasi which wiped out 75 per cent of the crop. They don't import bananas from other countries. |

| 1219557 | 2011-07-27 23:08:00 | Grow a lot of our own vegies and have planted several fruit trees including apples, pears, plums, crab apple as well as strawbs, raspberries, boysenberries and grapes. We only have a normal 700 sq/m town section but don't have a lawn. Can't see the point of having grass when we don't have livestock to eat it. DO have 4 chickens though so get our own eggs too | gary67 (56) | ||

I usually buy vegetables at Pak N Save and go past a fruit an vegetable shop on the way home, without stopping. I might try stopping there next time. |
