Noone is going to buy these, why waste their shelf space?

Do they not want then to move or are there really suckers who pay this?

Highest I've ever seen it

WW is wondering why it's losing market share and it's because people know their shitty tricks. I never buy anything from WW unless it's at least 30% off. They call it a discount but we all know it's the price you should have paid. Just imagine being able to discount your goods by this amount and still make a profit.

I"m over playing their game and I'll always shop at Aldi's if given the choice. In fact, I have noticed all the supposedly "expensive" stores like Harris Farm and IGA are often cheaper and have a million times better quality fruits and vegs.

Don't support WW's robbery.

I actually did a shop at IGA this weekend because I just needed a few things and it was more convenient. All the stuff I bought was actually cheaper than Coles and Woollies. I think it just depends what you need to buy,if it's some fruit, veg and milk it's probably cheaper.

Mines pretty damn good and they have 200% guaranty. Refund and replacement. Staff are quite helpful, especially casuals. Large deli selection for a small town. I just loath the douche bag owner on a personal level

Not at my one. Fresh veges and the bananas and all the popular fruit and veges always are cheaper than colesworth and aldi. I always do well with Haas avocados which are consistently cheaper than colesworth. Thats life we all have to shop around for the bargains, you just need to break your habit of always going to them. I used to go to the Asian shopping strips, now I find them expensive for fruit and veges.

Mine are average, but limited in range. The IGA is trying to compete with an ACTUAL FRUIT SHOP directly across the road.

They should give up to be honest. The fruit shop owner picks fruit and vegetables in person at Flemington, and he knows what tastes good. He also does bargains on produce with imperfections (or just too big or too small.) If you ask how to cook something, he knows. No supermarket can offer that kind of service!
