the day before Cyclone Larry, banana's were selling locally for $1:99
the day after Cyclone Larry tore through Cairns and Innisfail in 2006,
our local supermarket started charging
$14.99 for a kilo of banana's, banana's that they already had in stock
which in my opinion is 100% wrong
my girlies didn't eat banana's for months due to
the cost of them.
Now that Yasi has wiped out the NQ Banana crops
there will be no Tully/Innisfail banana's for a quite a while
so today
the girlies and I headed out to our local vegie shed
where banana's from Tully were in stock and selling for $2.40kg
and we bought 7kgs of those lovely yellow fruits.
They are now in our freezer so we can still eat banana bread and muffins
with real banana's in them.
So if you get a chance go buy some Tully or Innisfail banana's
and put them in your freezer for later use
Good to hear all is ok.
ReplyDeleteand yes I bought some bananas, but at $4 a kilo... mind you that is cheap too...
And remember carnarvon bananas were wiped out too...!
Very good idea, I should go out and get some too.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind when they go up, but not if the producer/grower doesn't get the money
cheers

Oh my God, there are some reall low lifes around eh? How can these people look at themselves in the mirror? Good on you for being resourceful Kate. Glad all the family got through the storm OK.
