Scoring system

Apples one point each
Oranges/tangerines/satsuma one point
Bananas two points each
Grapes five points a bunch but must be over 20 grapes
Grapes in a bunch of fewer than 20 three points
Grapefruit 3 points
Peaches/plums/nectarines 2 points
Kiwi three points
Fruit that is in your fridge eg strawberries/raspberries/blueberries two points per variety
Lemons three points
Mangoes four points
Pineapples 6points
,melons 5 points

Other fruits (not including technically fruits but aren't really like tomatoes and cucumber ) one point each

Frozen and tinned fruit doesn't count. Nor does juice. Or dried fruit.

I am currently scoring 22 points. If I had thought of this twenty minutes ago I would have scored 25.

What do you get for an avocado (also a fruit)? I have 4.

Otherwise I’m up to 21 points: 3 apples, 4 bananas, 1 mango, 1 pineapple.

boatyardblues · 17/05/2020 21:45

^ That’s just what’s out. I can’t be bothered to check the fridge.

listsandbudgets · 17/05/2020 21:46

1 orange, 2 lemons, 3 pears and 4 satsumas and 4 apples. Won't last long though

WhenPushComesToShove · 17/05/2020 21:47

5 clementines
4 bananas
Red grapes
3 lemons
3 oranges
7 apples
17 tomatoes
1 watermelon
1 butternut squash
Green grapes in fridge
Blueberries in fridge

I make that 46 - would have been 50 if I had seen this before I ate my mango Grin

homemadecommunistrussia · 17/05/2020 21:47

Oh yes and 2 avacadoes 4x tomatoes
and 5 more bananas that I forgot I bought this afternoon.
So 2x avacadoes
I cannot bother to do the maths. I am so over shopping- when lockdown ends we are going to eat every meal in spoonies/greggs for a week ( and get scurvy).

PenguinsOnParade · 17/05/2020 21:52

Two satsumas in the bowl

3 bananas on the banana hook

A bag of 5 pears in the vegetable crate for some reason

And no grapes in the fridge like I thought we had so I guess someone finished them earlier

So 8 points for satsumas and bananas. What are pears? 1 each like apples? So 13 points then.

blibblibs · 17/05/2020 21:54

My wine has grapes in it Smile
7 apples
3 bananas
Red grapes - lots
Strawberries
Blueberries
Mango
Melon - the yellow one
Pineapple
Coconut - does that count?

Can't add it up cause I'm on page two and list is on page one Grin

Longdistance · 17/05/2020 21:59

Two lemons
Four kiwis
Four bananas
3/4 of a melon
Punnet of grapes
Cucumber
Normal tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes
Loads of alcoholic grape juice 😁

TwatCat · 17/05/2020 22:13

3 apples (3)
3 bananas (6)
Half a melon in the fridge (2.5)

11.5

But I've also got a bag each of frozen raspberries, blueberries and cherries in the freezer.
The fresh stuff will be gone by tomorrow afternoon. I need to buy more tomorrow.

SabrinaThwaite · 17/05/2020 22:55

This is currently in my fruit bowl but I’m not sure how many points I get?

I'm bored. What's in your fruit bowl?
Megatron · 17/05/2020 22:57

All of them @SabrinaThwaite! You get all the points! 😍

LivingThatLockdownLife · 17/05/2020 22:59

You've reminded me I've got an avocado on the worktop.

3 pears.
2.5 lemons.
4.5 apples.

Fruit bowl always goes nasty though plus I can't see in so forget what's there.

I think I need a fruit counter or display stand or something.

OllyBJolly · 17/05/2020 23:01

Getting a weekly fruit box delivered and can't eat it fast enough. Ideas for surplus apples and oranges are welcome!

What a cutie. Never knew you could cross a cat with a koala! I think cats in fruit bowls count as fruit.

@AgeLikeWine

You should have a Special Drawer for all that.

Lordfrontpaw · 18/05/2020 14:59

I have a special box, all wires lovingly rolled up. I havent a clue what most of them are for.

BarbaraofSeville · 18/05/2020 15:07

Trifle. How's that on the scoring system? It does have frozen raspberries in, that have defrosted, obviously.

We don't really keep a fruit bowl, or eat fresh fruit there's some lemon slices and frozen berries in the freezer, so the fruit bowl gets used for trifle or salad if we have people round.

I decided to make trifle at the weekend to use up some spare cream and there's some left.

42 + 4 Avacardo
