    Woolies did do a good thing by bagging up the less perfect looking fruit/veggies and selling that separately cheaper. I’m assuming Coles does the same.

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen an “odd bunch” veggie that i wouldn’t be happy to pick off the shelf, but I’ve seen plenty on the shelf I wouldn’t pick

      A lot of independent grocers also do the same. There are a few fruits and vegetables (tomato, pear, apple, zucchini, capsicum, cucumber, eggplant, avocado, onion) that I often buy like this. Always considerably cheaper per kilo than buying them loose (unless the equivalent was on special), though sometimes the quality isn’t as good.

        Yeah, same at the market. At the end of the market day they’ll wrap everything up that’s left and sell it by the kilo.
