Bananas in Tesco

Taf · 05-09-2018, 13:01

Charging more for individual bananas in smaller Tesco stores due to high rents. 25p per banana.

But if you go into a large Tesco, you often see bananas (and other small fruits) offered FREE to children in the store.

Nothing new really as they have charged for individual turnips for years. No matter what size they are, they sell them at 50p each (around £3.40 per kg), whereas ASDA sells them at £1.89 per kg.

Up 10p or 15p according to the article. That's really keep the rent man happy.

Easily solved. Buy a bunch of bananas and take one to work with you.

I accidentally stole bananas from my tesco express. i didn't realise you pay for each banana, so i put them on the self service, when it came up with a number I pressed 1.

it was only later i realised I should have put number of bananas in, i didn't realise that it didn't weigh them like at the big store I usually shop in.

Looks like a bananas thread to me.

Sorry Taf.
