My supermarket, AND my local fruit shop BOTH stock a variety of tomatoes with a choice of Bowen QLD grown, green picked gas ripened tomatoes (worst), LOCAL vine ripened hydroponic (good) vine ripened heirloom (best)

They're probably all from the same grower/s but just sourced thought different agents.

You really are thick eh, drunko?

I’ve just finished my weekly Supermarket shop (Woolworths Online - to be picked up tomorrow afternoon by the hubby on his way home from work).

Observation - Everything has gone up again.

I always look for sale items PLUS I use my accumulated Rewards points which essentially takes $10 off each shop’s total. I always boost all my offers and I type in my special discount codes which are sent through. Tonight’s discount code which was sent to me took $15 off the total.

Still - every single item is expensive.

Is this what you are experiencing also??

I have a quick look at the fruit and vege section of Coles, Aldi and Harris Farm and buy what's best/cheapest. I don't often buy fresh stuff from Aldi because it's pretty low quality.

Aldi IS crap when it comes to fresh fruit/veg and meat.

As you know I’m a Woolworths girl however I only ever shop at the large super stores which have their own butchery/bakery/fishmonger/deli etc. These stores also have a HUGE fruit/veg market and HIGH TURNOVER! So everything IS fresh.

I do try to grow my own fruit/veg where possible because home grown organic food always tastes the best as it’s SUPER fresh and pesticide free.

And having worked in various Food manufacturers. I can tell you that all the labels are different for different Retailers, but the products are the same.
Only Stall Markets sell a guarranted out of the garden choice. But it has been known that some Stallers just sell leftover Supermarket stuff on the side.

Buying from Corner Shops can be unhealthy in the higher prices they charge for exploiting Community wellbeing.

Meat from a supermarket, only if desperate. The only time fruit/veg is good in Aldi is when there's an obvious glut of one particular product on the market but I'm convinced their strategy is to buy cheap and 2nd rate. Harris Farm has the best fruit and veg every time and that's reflected in the price.

The only thing I go into Aldi for is their cheese, yogurt, a few random deli items all which are BETTER than supermarket brands.

So to summarise.

Meat - Meat Emporium, Vics
Fruit/Veg - Harris Farm and a bit Coles when good
Aldi - Dairy and a bit of random stuff

Hubby and I went shopping yesterday. Our Woolworths supermarket bill came in at approx $361 yesterday. (It was around $401 but I get a 10% discount because I hold 1 car insurance policy with Woolworths as I found I could get an awesome excess/premium deal with them).

Anyway ...that filled up 2 shopping trolleys with everything we would need for a fortnight. Groceries/fruit/veg/meat/pantry/cleaning products/bathroom products/laundry products .. everything.

* The rule we stuck by was this : anything we placed into our trolleys had to be something we definitely knew we needed and used PLUS it had to be on sale or the cheapest in its product category.

* Re meat - we stuck to the cheaper meats ie whole chooks were on sale so we grabbed a few to roast up plus some gourmet sausages plus some lamb loin chops were also on sale. So we bought up those sale items.

* Re milk and bread - we stuck to sliced bread on sale and 5 loaves are in the freezer. We buy long life milk to use up after our 3 litre full cream fresh milk has finished.

Now.... the challenge is this : Let’s see if we can stay away from Woolworths for 2 weeks.

Oh dear, what a tanged web we weave when we set out to deceive.

You can believe whatever of that rigmarole of lies you like, but consider this bit:

Quote:

plus some gourmet sausages

Yet when I said 3-4 weeks ago that I had bought some sausages the author of the farrago of lies started screaming that I bought rubbish food! Now Larry admits to buying snags. Oh how the flighty fall crashing down on their fat face!

The sausages I bought would be 2000% better than the tubes of fat Woollies sells. Only the very poor, the ignorant or the druggies buy sausages from Woollies/Coles/Aldi/IGA/Foodlands etc. I doubt a known drug addict would be allowed to drive.

You accidentally bought another half dozen bottles of hair conditioners again, because you were mouthing off to Monk online again.

Of course, the only items I bought today for my showering were 2 Pears soap bars for $1.75 each and 3 coconut soaps for $1.50 each. But, then again, I bought a 90 cap fish oil and glucosamine for $20 and Vitamin D3-K2 tablets in the 60 tablet pack for the upcoming winter for $26. So, I am not above reproach.

When you “remember” it you can likely figure out the PO I sent it to.

“When I dropped the envelope into the APO letterbox my responsibility ended.” Why do you pretend to struggle with that.

You are an inveterate doxxer, You know Aussie’s name.

Freediver has only ever warned everyone on OzPol about YOU Drunk! In fact .. Freediver even changed OzPol’s rules to specifically NAME YOU!
