    I bought 3 bananas in Waitrose recently
    Cost 34p or 11.3p per banana

    Couple of days later I bought 2 bananas in Lidl
    Cost 28p or 14p per banana

    They were similar sizes.

    Don’t assume Waitrose is almost the most expensive or Lidl/Aldi are always the cheapest

    I have been low carbing for 3 months, they are treats hence the small number

    How much per kilo? Which is what loose bananas are sold as, and is what I buy not prepacked. I do agree that bananas are often similar price per Kg in most stores anyway.

    I buy the W8rose ones mostly as they are Fair trade [88p Kg, Lidl 82p Kg]

    Why? I've not bought pork from there as I prefer British free range but just curious what put you off

    It was gristly and full of fat in the middle looked perfect until it was cut I commented on it on here at the time.
