blimey, capsicums are 89p+ each in tescos, pumpkins aobut £1/kg and red cabbage is about 99p/kg (in our local grocers)!!

... even seasonal home grown fruit n veg is getting very expensive - raspberries seem extortionate this year ... despite a good local crop.

Onions were down to 9c kg yesterday (in my local shop) :lol:

We bought our first lettuce yesterday:

$1.40 at Coles.

But it was twice the size of the letti you get in Sainsbury's. :thumbup:

And it isn't just Lettuce ;)

4 Pieces of Broccoli (1.02Kg) and 1kg Tomatoes total $1.88

Didn't get any lettuce today, so not sure of the local price.

I wonder how much lettuce has gone up since the flood.

Haven't been able to find any recently. Oh! wait, Wifey did get some the the other day. :)
