Could we be about to start paying £3.50 for cucumbers in the UK?
European vegetables: 'Perfect storm' raises prices - BBC News I made myself a Kiwi millionaire meal yesterday, I think this is what you get when you fly Air New Zealand Business Class. I hope the picture uploads. :scarper: |
Re: Cucumber News
$2.49 i paid for one in Countdown the other day, new potatoes are expensive here too!
On the flip though, Sirloin steak at $13.99 a kilo is mega cheap compared to UK! To be fair, i've found what i expected to find here, i always go for what's on offer at home, and i've done the same here and got some good deals, some things are dearer here (cucumbers lol), but others are cheaper (sirloin, toliet rolls). Swings and roundabouts. |
Re: Cucumber News
The Cucumber remains sought after due to strong seasonal demand for salad and lack of desire to cook meat and two veg over the holiday period. It seems that despite there being no obvious shortage of cucumbers the product continues to be traded at a premium. The price at Pak n Save remains stable at 2 for $3 or $1.99 each.
The Avocado however does seem to have taken a tumble and recorded a relatively large fall in price, currently as low as 5 for $5 |

I know how to drive properly . Coffee stinks. My British sense of humour remains intact. I will not countenance frills & crooked hems & I do not believe the All Blacks are living gods. Karked it / Carked it. British saying from the Raj period. |

Re: Cucumber News
Vegetable rationing in UK Supermarkets - shock, horror. Courgettes, lettuce and broccoli in very short supply. Rioting by by UK vegetarians (OK I made the last bit up). :-)
Is this being censored by Barnsleymat? |

Is this being censored by Barnsleymat? There are a few vegetables in short supply due to bad weather in Murcia......most are for sale as usual. Does that never happen in NZ?....are no foodstuffs imported? Don't you think your constant attempts at point scoring are a little childish and pathetic? |

Don't you think your constant attempts at point scoring are a little childish and pathetic? Actually apples are nowhere to be found in NZ at the moment, not because of limited imports apparently but because the crop was exported overseas. |
Re: Cucumber News
Mustn't just blame the tabloids (or me) even the BBC is reporting 'Vegetable rationing by Supermarkets'. Price of an iceberg lettuce in Lidl £1.19 (up 200%).
Must be hell living in a country that is totally dependant on food imports (that is point scoring if you hadn't noticed Grayling) :-). |
