Banana's

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

  2. Very good idea, I should go out and get some too.
    I don't mind when they go up, but not if the producer/grower doesn't get the money

    cheers
