    I've never seen them that cheap. I always buy them by the sack in winter and our farm shop charges £7.50 for a large bag.

    You can do the same with sacks of onions as well. £1.50 - £2.50 a sack, also an many ethnic food stores.

    My dad bought a sack last week, paid about £5 and we split it between us. He didn't buy them from a farm shop as such, just a working farm that had a board outside. Will do the same again in a few weeks, it works out so much cheaper than the supermarket.

    Anyone know of such a place on the outskirts of south Bristol?

    Now that's what I could use lots of, I will have a look around for large bags.

    There is a Farm Shop on the A370 from Weston-super-Mare on the way to Bristol, may be a bit far out from you.

    If its closer to Weston then its a bit far. Thanks though, I'm sure there must be somewhere closer :)

  • Our local F & V shop delivers 50kg sacks, price depends on variety, they may be a little more expensive than quoted above but they're cheaper than paying per lb.

    Our customers are farmers so i get all sorts when i deliver. I buy spuds for all our family and divvy them up. £4 for 25kg of fresh Marfonas. Delicious!!
