mangoes .99c each
kiwi 4 for 1.00

Oranges were more expensive than usual this season. I don't know why. What's a paw paw?

Fairly cheap and year round. Blueberries are the priciest.

I guess living so close to central America has some advantages after all.

I think , if remember correctly the prices you indicate are pretty similar to those we pay here for those fruits.\

Paw paw not to be confused with Pawpaw (USA fruit) is a particularly tasty sweet and juicey tropical fruit that we get here in summer. Also know as papaya. I think it's nicer than mango , but mango is also a treat.
It has lots of black seed in the centre that you scoop out , and like mango (and grapefruit) you skin it and eat the flesh.

If I ever move up north permanently (Qld, NT or tropic WA) , a paw paw tree , a mango tree and a dragon fruit bush wll the first things I'll plant in the backyard.

I thought that maybe he was going to open up a chain of fruit smoothie stores all over the world.

Just curious.

Someone mentioned that fruit was a bit too expensive for them in another topic and it made me wonder.

Everyone buys fruit at least once a week in as part of the weekly grocery stock up, right ? , and the fruits listed are what we include every week (if in season that is and some aren't always available , and sometimes , like last summer , a cyclone wipes out an entire crop and so some fruits become too expensive for a while.)

Fruit is very important for health .

As well as unsweetened , undiluted Golden Circle juices - pineapple , and tropical being my favourates .

We buy a lot of fruit as we have kids. It is a bit more expensive than the cheap junk food that a lot of people buy for kids, but i am willing to pay the cost. Besides, i like pineapples, grapes, apples, and banananas.

I also really like fresh broccoli (regardless of whether or not i can spell it), but unfortunately am alone in my household in that regard.
