Who's eating the bananas?

[MummyNaomi]

We kept buying them, DS and I both love them so we've just bought them as normal, I agree with another poster with the fact the most junk food is more expensive anyway so its still a better choice imo, and luckily we can afford them

[Cally]

I've still been buying them, just not as many and making sure that they are eaten. Before the cyclone they would sometimes sit out on the bench for too long and end up in the freezer for cooking, so I haven't let that happen. DH is excited, we made a banana smoothie on the weekend which was scrummy - he's been hit with a banana surcharge at a few cafes when he's ordered one out and about (which is understandable with the prices they were)

[Doing my best]

I bought them once a week instead of twice a week when they were real expensive.. But as the kids love them, then I thought is was only fair they still had them.

[jacklicky]

I would buy one or two a week for DD. I figured at $2-3 a banana at the height of the prices i would still rather pay that and let her eat one than buy her something less healthy....That said I basically brought them when she wanted them....we didnt have them sitting in the fruit bowl like we do now.

Why is anyone eating banana? Don't you know that APPLE is thin?

I have been buying them as per usual the whole time.

[Cass72]

We have been buying them, but they have been very much a treat and never wasted. So wonderful to see that they are now "affordable".

While the prices where high it wasn't uncommon to see people halve the amount they were buying at the checkout after finding out how much the bunch was going to cost!

Hi Onyx,
I love bananas and have them in my daily meals as they have many health benefits.
Bananas are energy booster and boost brain power. Bananas are used to cure constipation and anemia.

And apple is thin

On a serious note they are back down in price ranging from $2.99 - $5 a kg here

[feeb]

Bannans have gone from $14 per kg down to $2.98 a kg so now a kg (approx 5 bannannas) is now much cheaper again.

We have continued to buy them as both kids like them and not much else!

[Trillian]

Yeah, I got bananas for $2.98kg at woolies yesterday too.

[Astrid]

Banana muffins are back on the menu here. My recipe takes 3 large ones and now I can buy enough for them to get soft enough to use.

[black_rose]

I never stopped either just didn't get so many and made sure they were all, ds got them if the girls didn't want to finish them. Some days it would be all I could get the girls to eat. So glad they are $7 now.

[Jennifer13]

We've been eating them whenever we can find any of good quality. That's definitely been an issue since Yasi, so it hasn't been a staple fruit, but mostly in our house.

Now, we're back to having them regularly. I figure my support for the industry is a lot better than a donation to a charity to help the farmers once they go broke.

[peanutter]

we get DS 2 or 3 a week, because he loves them and they're good for his bot bot.

I used to have one for breakfast most days, but not anymore!!!

maybe when they get back down to $2 a kilo

[lilima]

When the cyclone hit, I bought bucket loads of them at $1.50 per kilo and froze them, so we had them in smoothies for months.

I too have still been buying them, but only 1 or 2 a week. Cant wait till they are more affordable!

[Babyluv]

I buy 2 per week for dd.

[Lisa]

We never stopped buying them. Our kids love them so we kept buying them. Some days we'd spend around $20 on bananas for our 5 kids. I'm glad to see the prices come down.


Sent from my iPhone, so I apologise if it makes no sense.

We never stopped buying bananas, Moo has at least one per day & DH always has one in his lunchbox too. Must admit I did cringe a few times when Moo threw half his narnie on the ground at the park

[Cranky Kitten]

Mmmm-mmmmm!! Choc-banana smoothie for breakfast this morning - with 2 whole bananas in it
