Yes. Though like many I strongly support the idea of non-wastage, I don't find any wonky veg particularly cheap (anywhere). If as I suspect the stores pay the farmers substantially less for the produce than the beautiful versions then they are presumably making greater profit on it and effectively cashing in on the current wave of distaste for mountains of reject vegetables.
How about passing more on to the customers instead?

It could be hormone herbicides causing the wonkiness? Enjoy!

Speaking from experience you should have nothing to worry about. The asparagus in our bed comes out a little wonky sometimes, can't all be perfect but it tastes just as good and still gives you stinky wee

Actually it's human shoppers demands that makes supermarkets sell straight food. Most plants in the real world never grow perfectly.

Any wonky bottles of whisky going cheap?

Those figures (from the Guardian?) are nonsense - at least when it comes to the Aldi price.
Bought some yesterday (British) £1.09 for 170gms. £6.41 per kilo.
Only fractionally more expensive than Morrisons - and non-wonky. Morrisons must be making a killing! :smile:

Opening post
Aldi are selling a smaller amount (100g) for £1.19, while Lidl is selling 250g for £1.60. Asda is selling a 150g bunch for £1.
