Re: Bananas
Woolies in Helensvale wheels out 'The Big Silver Trolley' some afternoons with slightly tatty fruit and veg for sale for $2 a bag - put as much as you like in a standard plastic bag. A couple of weeks ago I got 6 bananas and a whole heap of veggies for my $2. Yesterday I got a large eggplant, few mandarins, lemon, lime for $2. There were loads of apples, oranges, carrots and potatoes that were going begging.

Re: Bananas
so you've got plantations A,B & C, all for arguments sake and discounting supermarkets, charging $4.00 per kilo. typhoon/storm/hurricaine/cyclone hits 0and wipes out plantations A & B. price goes up to $12.
Does farmer C shere that equally with A & B or pocket the lot like a greedy bastard
Or is the supermarket just taking us all for mugs???

Re: Bananas
I was noseying round the food hall in David Jones yesterday and noticed their bananas were $24.99 a kilo. Not sure if they were solid gold or just gold plated.
(What's that tag line they use - it costs no more to shop at David Jones.)
