you got expensive taste Steve ! Why don't you wait a little while for the price to come down ?

where did you get to on Saturday night ?

Simon.

steve that's an awesome thing to do! What a way to cut down on the price for everyone!

xoxoxox

Damn Free...i need riper narnas right now....boo hoo...going on another hunt tomorrow..they are so damn fine the loved yellow froot...

Steve whens the raw party...black sapote..mmmmm i love not scrimping on raw organic produce....dont drink or smoke and stuff,so hell why not spend up on delish prime food..on ya!!

No, the price does not really seduce me. As it is, I constantly get made fun of for “wasting” my money on organic food.

Coles is just convenient, thats all.

I can only buy organic at the weekend because Macros shop hours and my working hours clash and they are a 20 minute drive from us.

But Coles is open until 10.00PM and they are only a 3 minute drive from us.

And I prefer to buy fresh every few days, otherwise I find stuff goes off quickly, especially in summer.

I do bulk organic too through my food coop. This week:

13 kg bananas $39
18 kg oranges $38 (shared with Sandy)
6 paw paws $30
12 kg biodynamic pears $66
1 watermelon 2.40 pr kilo
3 celery $10.20
1 Cauliflower $3.50
3 bunches spinach $7.80
2 bunches kale $5.20
box 8 cos lettuce  $15 (shared with Sandy)
2 bunches chinese greens $4.40

So in total about $200, but the pears should last more than a week. I guess I average maybe $150 a week.

I don't spend money on much else than my rent and my food and travel. I would much rather spend the extra on organic, and this is only really possible by bulk buying with the quantities we eat. If you can get a buyers group together, usually organic wholesalers will let you buy from them.

Note, the bananas come to $3 per kilo, which is cheaper than most conventional supermarket bananas at the moment. When bananas are in season, $13 kg organic cost about $26. We have sometimes been lucky to get boxes for $8! These are usually Coles organic ones, which have been overstocked. The wholesaler then unwraps the Coles ones, and puts them in boxes. Once I got such a box, and saw the exact same bananas for $7 per kilo in the supermarket. That is nearly 10 times the price. But of course that is only in special cases, when you get extremely lucky.

After seeing the supermarket documentary this week on ABC, I am even more happy to be rid of Coles and Wollies. Just no way I would want to support that industry.   

I know the ones you mean.  They are not organic.  They're probably around $1.50 each.  Once you've tried the organic ones it's hard to go back to the irradiated, formaldehyded, conventional Thai ones.

so when  are you putting in the order Steve ?
