I have a confession – since Woolworths opened at Redfern, I have been pretty much shopping exclusively there. The staff know me. I know them. Not good for a grocery price blog, so feel free to leave a comment.
I’m updating quickly. I have 19 supermarket receipts to document…when did I get so busy? So pleased I decided to change the way I record items. The banana price has jumped – well after the flooding and cyclone impact has left our consciousness, to be replaced by the earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan, and Japan’s subsequent tsunami, as well as the unrest in Libya.
Banana Index for February/March 2011
Price increase per kilo $9.00 over the time period. BUT still all Australian grown. Interestingly, as sign above the bananas in Woolies at Redfern cite cyclone Yasi’s effect on N Qld for the limited supplies & therefore a price increase. The Banana Council had different views in January 2011. However they concede banana prices are effected by supply & demand, and I guess in January, no one had a clear idea of how bananas would truly be affected.
