Having said that I do have a few decent local fruit and veg shops who often have reasonable specials. I paid $1.49 for carrots and managed to get 2 large pieces of what they call "bunch" broccoli for $3.80 - tht is stems, leaves and all. I use the stems either grated or peeled and sliced in stir frys. We don’t have Aldi here in SA so I can’t get excited by cheap veggies.

I got all excited at paying $1.88 for carrots today, so you're not alone there. I was stoked at the special on capsicum - $2.98/kg. They're not the greatest quality but great for soups.<br/><br/>I am lucky that the main vegetables that feature in our diet are frozen or tinned, thus seemingly cheaper than fresh, and long lasting.<br/><br/>I also scored a few freebies this week. A butternut pumkin and 1kg of beans, topped and tailed and frozen by MIL. VERY chuffed with that. It will help a lot. I'm planning on making lots of soup this weekend.
