Yeah. What is with the odd pricing. Just use price per kg like normal
Coles do charge per kg. It is only a price estimate for 1 apple.
$3/kg
Hardly a bargain.
Are these even new season, or straight out of cold storage from last year's crop?
The Coles Fresh specials from Wed-Tues might be a deal if they're super discounted, but this one is nothing special.
This just seems like normal fresh produce price fluctuations. New season apples started recently so they might be trying to get rid of old stock or have got a load of new season apples
The Coles Fresh specials
I doubt these are fresh. The ones in our local store weren't.

How do these compare to the loyal ones?
Is it just me or are Royal Gala got a very high rate of being mushy?
I prefer Pink Lady apples, or Batlow.
$3/kg for Royal Gala is not exactly a bargain.
RG apples need to be eaten when they're ripe otherwise they . become chewy really easily.
My fav apples when they're fresh (new season). Agree they lose their crispness relatively quickly. Bought some at Aldi and Ww recently - crisp and juicy. Best recent price in my area was $3.50 a kilo so this deal represents a decent saving, IF the product is good. Pink Ladies tend to hold up a bit better in storage in my experience (off season PLs are crisper than off-season RGs) but both varieties lose their juiciness.
Batlow is a company that produce Royal Gala as well as other types of apples.
I just googled Barlow apples, and why I knew it was a company (named after the suburb its in) what I didn't know is they grow six types of red apples
Not sure what they were, but weren't RG.
Batlow is a town in southern NSW, renowned for its fruit growing - esp apples - for many decades. It was one of many communities ravaged by fires in Jan. The company is/was local. Haven't been there for many years but the area is/was a beautiful place to visit.

Heading to Singapore soon; one of the pleasures last time (apart from the Newton Food Centre) were exceptionally crisp and delicious Washington apples. Royal Gala are not in the same league.
