Peppers
I love peppers, though not the green as its too bitter.
So why are supermarkets charging more for a pack of three peppers of yellow, orange and red (or 2 of the colours) compared to buying 3 peppers of green, yellow and red? On the rare times I see a pack of their wonky/budget peppers with all yellow, orange and red (usually one red to 4-6 green)
For example - Tesco and Lidl do green, yellow and red peppers for around 86p. Their packs of three from the following orange, yellow and red are £1.25-£1.35.
I hate food waste.

So much to read, so little time.
It may be down to colour but quality grading is more likely IMO.
If you don't like food waste it would be much better for you to buy the ones you will use as single peppers, no plastic wrapping either.
I buy the wonky bags when they have a mixture of colours but if (as currently) the bags are mostly green then I'll go for the 3 packs or even individual.
We get meal boxes from Gousto and Hello Fresh and all peppers from them have been green recently and apparently thats the reasoning.
I like chopped up green peppers in a cream cheese sandwich.
