I was shocked by the fruit/veg examples from Sainsbury's. Packed bananas are priced per unit, loose bananas per weight. Five loose bananas were 42p, five packed bananas 89p or something of that order, and the only way to find out was to weigh them.
It's not a game, it's a bloody outrage, and it's time something is done against it.

You could always just buy the loose bananas save some money and the enviroment
,don't forget pre packed fruit and veg has a overhead attached to it ...someone has to be paid to package it ,so it's understandable that it will cost more .I do agree that the pricing should be clearer it would be preferable for the packed bananas to still be priced by weight which is possible because i did notice on sunday that all the punnets of mushrooms in our morrisons where 89p and all weighed 250g so it is possible to sell pre packed by weight the same as loose produce is sold by weight...as long as the consumer accepts that packaging costs money so it won't be the same price
