Just a quick little post today. I hadn't been grocery bargain hunting for ages, I just didn't have the time or inclination, but last Thursday afternoon I did pop in to my local Coles and were rewarded with these three markdowns. A kilo bag of red ripe tomatoes for $1.00, a 500 gram container of sliced mushrooms for $3.00 and an organic cauliflower for $1.70. Now, I don't normally buy organic produce as the prices are usually eye watering but in this instance the marked down organic choice was a couple of dollars cheaper than the non-organic variety.
As you know I don't do the grocery shopping here at Chez SHI and can get out of touch with the cost of items but I do know for sure that fresh veggies have lept up in price in the last couple of weeks, it is probably the drought that is forcing prices up, but I also think that the supermarkets put prices up for Christmas just because they can.
This fresh produce was still in perfect condition, I have already used the mushrooms in this Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff and with the cauliflower I made Spicy Cauliflower rice to go with a Mushroom and Bean Curry last Thursday night. The tomatoes will be used up in lunch time salads this week.
I really loved this Spicy Cauliflower Rice, it is easy to make and quite delicious
Over to you, how would you have used these mark downs? And have you noticed an increase in the cost of fresh fruit and veg of late?
Have a lovely day,
