I have been buying them here consistently since cyclone Yasi, even at up to $20 kilo. Regular price that I was paying for months was around $15 kilo.

DS is an extremely fussy eater and banana's are the only fruit he will eat and even then sometimes it can be a struggle. Since he needs to take a piece of fruit to pre-primary and that is all he will eat then we don't really have a choice. And for those who might say, well at that price my son would not be eating them and would be forced to eat another fruit, unfortunately it doesn't always work that way.

We are lucky that we could afford them and I would simply allow $20 per week in my budget for banana's. It's just the way it is in our household.
