With all the recent threads on budgeting, grocery bills and seasonal buying, it occurred to me that recent arrivals may have no idea or basis for comparison prices yet, and thought this would be useful to any newbies to NZ or anyone soon to be on their way. The idea is to give some insight into what fruit/veg etc to look out for as they are curently in season and aprox prices. So I will start with last weeks till receipt....

Here are the items currently cheap in New World:

Bananas $1.99 kg
Strawberries (fantastic quality) $3.99 kg
Brocolli $1.29 for large floret
Large Aubergine (eggplant) $2.99 each
Red & yellow Capsicum (very cheap indeed) $1.39 kg

Moderate priced items:

Peaches & Red Plums $3.99 kg
Braeburn Apples $4.20 kg


Anyone else care to add to this thread?
