If it was my garden I'd have a go at growing I reckon.

Same here mate, when we move into our house we'll have one in walking distance.
We'll still only get our staples there, which we pay too much for $2 for a loaf when $1 elsewhere

Yeah we have a Coles just down the road, and altho there is a IGA (think it's called) closer, that's even more expensive!
I'm not grumbling as the cost of fruit isn't gonna stop us all enjoying all the rest Australia offers, but we do walk round Coles converting prices and pulling a
face. I've read all the posts where you gotta go and buy your meat from your butchers, your bread from the bakers etc (like the olden days I guess) but call me lazy but it IS just too easy to get it all in Coles ...
Found a nice butchers tho and 10 chicken kebab skewers for $10 I like ...

... like they have any idea about money! ...

re strawberries, last year here on Sunshine Coast there was an oversupply of them and fruit pickers were walking in to our place of work offering us 2 HUGE punnets for $5. Still dear at the moment here, not best time of year.
I just go for what's in season as it tends to be around $3/kilo
