Title: grapes Post by: gatso on January 24, 2008, 02:04:46 AM why do red grapes cost twice as much as green ones at the moment?
Title: Re: grapes Post by: Graham C on January 24, 2008, 02:18:23 AM dunno, but I paid a bloody fiver for a bunch of grapes from M&S the other week! Was well shocked when we got to the checkout.
p.s. they were green ones too. Title: Re: grapes Post by: gatso on January 24, 2008, 02:23:28 AM dunno, but I paid a bloody fiver for a bunch of grapes from M&S the other week! Was well shocked when we got to the checkout. p.s. they were green ones too. that is disgusting and also the reason why I never buy fresh fruit/veg from m+s. the only reason for shopping there and paying over the odds is that the quality is better on some products. this does not apply to grapes, spuds or milk which are essentially the same from any supermarket.

A 5'er for green ones and red ones are more expensive?...Hmm, I'll have to ask the Mrs what that big bunch of red grapes cost last week Title: Re: grapes Post by: kinboshi on January 25, 2008, 08:33:00 AM Don't shop in M&S is the key. This isn't just food; this is over-priced food.
Title: Re: grapes Post by: Claw75 on January 25, 2008, 01:44:52 PM dunno - maybe less of them around. Presumably that's the same reason why white onions are also much dearer than brown onions (but other way round in the US)
Title: Re: grapes Post by: Graham C on January 25, 2008, 02:11:35 PM Our usual bunch of grapes don't cost that much.
M&S is pricy, but some of their stuff is damn tasty. I'm referring in particular to Cheesy knots, Cheese Scones, Chocolate Chip Muffins, Bakewell pie thing. Their sandwiches at lunch time are nice too, I like the chicken and bacon baguettes and the chicken caesar wraps. The Strawberry and Aloe Vera drink is a nice supplement. Didn't know about the white onions, we don't have them often.

Title: Re: grapes Post by: Graham C on January 25, 2008, 02:16:24 PM what about the purple ones? Are they pricey too?

Onions! lol @ us Londoners :D Title: Re: grapes Post by: gatso on January 25, 2008, 05:22:22 PM m+s sandwiches ftw
I for some reason am obsessed with the wensleydale and carrot chutney ones despite having never eaten either of those ingredients at any other time in my life |
