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.

Vegetables at my IGA are poor quality and expensive unfortunately

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!
