Did you watch the Hugh thingy where he interviewed Morrison's. The two guys representing Morrison's genuinely didn't care that a family producing parsnips for 30 years had been put out of business, in fact they looked pretty smug throughout the entire interview

Not quite true.
The reasons veg growers dont last is because modern mothers dont like vegetables unless they are all a regular size & in tip-top condition meaning that producers lose & are forced to destroy the less good looking veg.
I buy class 2 veg which is far cheaper than class 1 but looks & tastes no different once cooked.
Most shoppers avoid anything that does not fit in with the look of photographs created in a studio.

It worries me how they can sell these vegetables so cheaply

The only losers in this are the growers who get squeezed to lower their prices and eventually lose their livelihood

Did you just fart?

i was going to say that you're missing the point but in your case i think you've missed the whole universe

Check your receipt if buying any of these. In my local Morrison's the shelf price is lower than the pack price but you get charged the pack price (ie the higher price) at the till. For example broccoli has 43p on the big sign on the shelf but had 50p on the wrapper label.

Indeed dood.

Will sayed old been.

Sadly spelling does not make a human that understands the speeling they use lol.
If you dont like it them I am afraid thats hard cheese old boy.
Al

You don't shop where I do then Martyn.

at least Biggunspaul can spell (i before e) believe not beleive and troll not torll in one of your earlier comments . most people (modern mothers included) just pick up the nearest bag and don't always check the date and certainly don't examine the contents with a fine toothcomb

Question as I work in produce.

If you had a choice to pay a premium in veg that promotes itself as British and good for farmers, would you?

I ask this because Morrisons have done something similar for Milk where it gives shoppers to pay a bit extra to support farmers

I beleive you when you say you have proven a point.
The point you have proven is that you cant read & comprehend whats written so are the perfect one for some carrots to help improve you're eyesight.
45p on this deal so get em whilst there hot!

All that nonsense over what a bit of veg. theres much worse going on in this awful world if youvet watched tv. so agree to differ & leave it there. This site is to help everyone get a bargain, in these days of poverty.

Yawn

I will just accept you can't explain your own posts.

I've proved my point so thanks and goodnight :stuck_out_tongue:

I am not a troll but a troll might teach you a thing about how good Asian shops are! Family run and lovely yoghurt and foreign Fayre! Dates and figs food of the gods!

Awww.
Rage on!
Can you show us all where I stated "only mothers" as you claimed or not?
If you cant then I will just accept that you made it up like a proper drama queen.
Mind you little fella. if the cap fits lol.

I think you have failed by the way you have clearly avoided what I'm asking,if you are as smart as you are trying to make out then you would have understood what I'm asking.

Clearly you've got issues to say what you did and think you are special by saying I will fail.

Anyone who takes notice of what class veg they buy is probably a class 1 bell end

Can you show me where I stated "only mothers" please.
You will fail as a torll with me :smiley:

Clearly you are trying to be awkward so why did you say this -

modern mothers dont like vegetables unless they are all a regular size & in tip-top condition

Why mention mothers ? Do you stand around in supermarkets asking female customers if they have children when they are buying veg.

I dont know.
You tell me since I never mentioned said ONLY mothers.

Ok then,modern mothers only like vegetables in certain sizes and quality.why only mothers ?

Strange you should believe I stated such a thing.

Strange to why you think only mums buy carrots

Everyone who has voted this hot obviously hasn't seen Hughs War on waste. They pay their suppliers (or farmers) next to nothing and reject so much food that they barely make a living.... The Hammonds in Norfolk went out of business because of them.

Don't buy their veg

When I see these veg deals I buy as much as my freezer will hold blanch them, cool them and put them in individual portion size bags and freeze them. May be not quite as good as fresh veg but better than the ones you buy frozen and very convenient.

Asda carrots are 57p and if you are staff you get 20% off.asda fruit and veg is better than Morrison's.

Not a fair comparrision. Why do people on this site always try to make out things are cheaper elsewhere even if they are not? Just checked and Asda carrots are 57p making them more expensive 46p even to staff which not evryone is. Quality wise I find it varies day to day, week to week at all supermarkets

Since watching Hugh on TV I have decided not to buy any veg again from the big supermarkets ! Only from Asian shops and markets!

Those two men are crooks!

It worries me how they can sell these vegetables so cheaply

The only losers in this are the growers who get squeezed to lower their prices and eventually lose their livelihood

Yes I did.
It has been that way for years. I remember we used to tat in supermarket skips & they were often full with all manner of fruit & veg & there was nothing wrong with it & it fed us very well for years for nothing.

nice find op, dinner on, heat :smiley:
