Most market stalls are fresher and cheaper than the big Supermarkets!

Where I live neither the market stall nor the green grocers are cheap or fresh! Unless you fancy paying £2 for a rotting mango?

Interesting comment imo. I've noticed that my local market (Sheffield market, but it had a really rocky start a couple of years ago) has really started to fight back against the nearby supermarkets (Aldi, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Iceland) pricewise, and the prices and quality are often better or comparable.

I've stopped buying fruit from there for those same reasons.

Only had that problem with soft fruit so have started to buy elsewhere. Apples, oranges, bananas have all been ok so far.:{

I brought a big pack of peaches 89p yesterday from Aldi, one of super 6's currently, date was 22nd August, this morning I had to throw everyone of them away, mouldy within a day. :rage:

Just keep hold of your receipt and take them back when passing or email customer services... Same sort of thing can happen with produce from any of the supermarkets, sometimes they get bashed in transit or in store and once one goes bad it'll take the whole pack with them...

I have the receipt but binned the product because it was really badly moulded all over, I was shocked how they went from completely fine one day then the next morning, completely mouldy. :angry:

Next time just take a photo of them on your phone and go back with the receipt. They don't want mouldy stuff back anyway.

Unfortunately I always have this problem with their tomatoes. One or two mouldy although they look OK in the packaging.

I had the same problem chucked the full pack away. Every single one of them ended mouldy. Must be the chemicals that were used.

They changed that a good few months back. Aldi shows BB dates on stuff now, whether you agree that's a positive or not.

What nonsense - apply a little common sense or learn about what you want your fresh produce to look like. Let's say fruit gets bashed around and bruised or gets some mould on it before the "best before" date, what then? Are you still going to buy it because the best before date is fine?

U can't always tell with fruit like oranges and apples as they are waxed? Etc It's more about it lasting in the fruit bowel at home for more than 1 day
