ok, that's it -- i am NOT buying fruit from supermarkets again <<rants>>

[Tutter]

2 bags of clementines - horrible, dry fruit, no sweetness whatsoever

a pack of 4 "perfectly ripe" peaches - no flavour, not particularly juicy

[fed up]

(waitrose, btw)

i have found marks to be better, but sooo £££

[lucysmam]

we stopped buying from supermarket recently and now use local market, loads better quality, cheaper and i can buy a weeks worth of fruit for 3 of us n its still edible by the time im deciding what to get for the next week

[Tutter]

i remember once being in a queue at the checkout at marks

was behind a (italian? spanish?) lady who was buying shedloads of nice fruit - cherries, nectarines etc

in italy/spain would have cost a few quid

it came to something like £35

she could not believe that was the correct amoutn

i could not help but intervene to explain fruit prices in the uk

[Dropdeadfred]

must admit M&S are hard to beat for their fruit...but last time I bought grapes from there they were £7..
And I ate half of them on the way home!!!

[misdee]

i bought some satsumas for dd2, they were dry and horrible.

i have taken to squeezuing fruit now in the shop

[nkf]

M&S fruit is the best, particularly the berrires.
