Great info, this is such a good post. I find prices of fruit and veg are often cheaper at green grocers or markets, but I guess this depends on the area. Saw 5kg bag of potatoes for $6 at local shop today. I don’t shop with specific fruit or veg in mind, just go with the flow of what looks good and is good prices. And spices are way cheaper and in larger quantities in some green grocers or Indian or Asian stores.
My husband works down Somerton/Epping way so he just goes for a walk during lunchtime and rings me to see if I want anything at the markets down there because it's often cheaper than anywhere else. Potatoes and onions are things that I try to have all the time and any other cheap vegetable is a bonus. Root vegetables and citrus fruit is in season at the moment so are often cheaper. I try to work around those.
