Not sure about you but this is a supa deal for me
Given these are almost twice this price at most other big places.
Also given these are only 6.90 $ a kg, no point buying odd bunch low quality ones for $6.5
It may be different price for your state. But it is in their catalogue too.
Time to stock and store these or binge on them before any price jack or OOS on these gem
Great to put these in salads or eat them as it is after washing/boiling/ however ya like to eat yours.
Time to stock and store
How long do you think you can stock up and store capsicum?
about 1-3 weeks depends.
For me its usually only really 2 weeks max
Nice if you can keep for 3 weeks
Finally, I can afford to make salsa again
This was GREAT! LOL!
yeah that whole safety third group is crazzily funny dude. But I got big respect for nigel tho.
Unfortunately $15.90/kg at my local Woolies in WA.
I'm in WA and seeing 6.90.
But isn't this seasonal pricing? Hopefully will be a lot cheaper again soon.
From OPs link I see $6.90 but that's from the SA catalogue. Haven't been in store but when I search the app set to my local I get $15.90 red, $12.90 green and $7.90 for odd bunch.
I see.
I'm not getting a per-kg price, just per item. $3.98 each for red.
@bargaino: Yeh in the app if it's set to shop online for pickup/delivery will give per item price. If it's Shop In-store will list the per KG price.
Clicking through OP's link gives me $3.48 each for red, $1.73 green and $5.90 odd bunch, even if I change pick up location to WA but as soon as I log in price becomes $3.98, $3.23 green (and odd bunch then just says in-store only) which is a bit dodgy.
app is wrong most of the times.
It has failed to give me accurate pricing for about 5 months i reckon
edit app meant rewards app, not woolworths app
I dont really second that about the odd bunches. I like the way they got them flawed with different colours and such lol
Problem with the odd bunch these days is they put old or rotting veg in there also…
Biggest problem is they should be cheaper than they are, considering they probably pay next to nothing for them and often aren't much cheaper than the other produce.
They are usually lower in quality, they often go rotten/sour/expire whatever is better term for it, a lot earlier than normal ones.
Taste wise not usually that much difference.
They get a flawed color because of the time spent on plant after maturing from seed, a longer time means red color, shorter time means green color. But they could just as easily be a defective batch too IDK as much as a farmer would.
But from my experience that 40 cent savings is NOT worth going for an earlier expiring capsicum
I've never seen bell peppers in Australia. Only in the USA.
Can I let you know they call them peppers and sweet peppers in the UK, and have done so since they were first brought back from the Americas, or should I let you grab some tissues first?
Good for you though for defending a naming convention used by us and…let's see…yes, our close cousins in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. Look at you being all multicultural!
That's a long-winded way of agreeing with futaris, that you also have never seen bell peppers in Australia.
And yet somehow I bought two from Aldi today.
Perhaps this is because I'm not the kind of special snowflake who's triggered by things having more than one name
How long were you in hospital for when they started called shallots "spring onions"?
Your attempt at being demeaning kind of falls flat from the flaws of your comment.
Capsicum is more widespread than I originally thought and hence it doesn't feel like we're "rest of the world" anymore. Furthermore, this is a pepper 🌶️. A chili if I'm allowed to call it by its Australian name. Sweet chili exists. Pepper is already the name of a spice.
You see the purpose of a name is to give an object an identifier and if those identifiers are already used on other objects the whole language becomes convoluted. The meaning changes or is lost. Please by all means though ask/compliment where an American bought their thongs.
Some day you'll find your inability to speak the local vernacular can impact will work against you.
Except this site is Ozbargain. Not UKbargain, nor USbargain.
Why put bell pepper in there, and not Paprika, pimento and every other single name for it in every other language if we're trying to make it 'globally inclusive?'
Same price at my local ALDI too (NSW).

FYI— they grow incredibly easily & produce for months & months. 2-3 pots, stagger the planting, enjoy & freeze what you can't eat in time!
Was gonna say the same thing, nows the time to plant them
i havent had a good luck with them, probably because i cannot figure out what the heck keeps eating the leaves, and why the heck fruit isnt growing ( my guess is poor phosphorus soil or something like that in soil IDK)
Just use a garden soil + some blood & bone and a bit of home compost/aged manure. If it's too dense, sift in some vermiculite. Don't plant in the same space as tomatoes previously, as they won't make it. No need to fertilize a lot, just some seasol a few times a seasonm. Keep it well drained and watered regularly. We have a few kilo frozen and use them in every dish we cook until the next crop.
Pests include slugs, snails, and caterpillars which hide against the stems.
Thanks
the pest seems to be a caterpillar looking like, but they dont stop coming :(
They dont usually hide against stem instead they go straight for leaves, have tried multiple things like Vaseline on stem, throwing them away from plant, growing a sacrificial weed nearby so they attack weed instead of the pepper etc.
Have heard that they make soil fertile or whatever not, But IDK I just think gardening is totally not for me.
What do people think about fresh vs jarred capsicums?
For most purposes I think the roasted red peppers in the jar are better as they've already been roasted to a nice sweetness. Cheaper too.
$6.90, dudes!
