Cheapest place to buy fruit?

There are no markets, greengrocers, Aldi or Lidl near us. Kids are fruitarians and my weekly budget suffers. Will do pick your own in the summer.

Which supermarket is cheapest? I have found farm shops, Abel & Cole, Riverford all expensive.

i picked up frozen bags of fruit (mango, raspberries, bluberries) in sainsburys. v good value for money. i defrost them and put them in greek yogurt for my two. v tasty. if sour, i add honey.

would yours eat tinned? that can also be good value for money. you can get big tubs of peaches in juice from tesco which i think work out cheaper than fresh.

you can get big bags of sainsburys basics bananas. asda does this too.

I buy frozen berries too. Fruit is expensive at the moment especially grapes. DS eat loads of grapes but I'm only buying 2 punets a week. Bananas and oranges aren't too bad so we're getting through plenty of those. I buy oranges along with the veg from the local market. The rest from Asds, Tesco or Aldi.
