    I also used to work for one of the big two back in the day, and I avoid buying their meat at all costs because it is rank, and whenever possible we get our fruit and vegies from the greengrocer.

    I don't mind blemishes - in fact my main criteria are freshness - you know really fresh fruit and veggie has that bursting-at-the-seams with goodness feel to it (something to do with water content I think) and SMELL. Yep I'm the lady who sniffs all the produce when selecting it LOL. That's why I'm happy to buy from markets etc. And yep I buy the bargain stuff at the greengrocers too and use it quickly. Often it's very fresh anyway.
