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 number0 -

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]Numerus non sum0 -
After the last joint of pork I got from Lidl I will pass on the meat.0

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.0
