There have been complaints that fresh food bargains are vastly outnumbered by junk food ones so here goes.

Berries are 'key brain health superfoods and should be consumed at least twice each week'. Saving money is less of a bargain if you're risking losing your marbles.

https://www.smh.com.au/goodfood/tips-and-advice/a-dietitian-…

Supermarket berries currently come in 2 blueberry sizes, small and large, with the large ones are typically around twice the price. I very much expect that for this price we will be getting the smaller size, but the catalogue is not 100% clear about sizing so there's some slight hope.

Edit: I'm told this deal is live now and may also even apply to the large sized berries, which are usually over $20 kg. Would be an amazing deal if so.

NOTE: this deal is not available at a number of NSW stores (e.g. Armidale, Ballina, Casino, Lismore, Tweed Heads).

    Honestly, hadn’t even noticed until you mentioned it but you’re absolutely right aha

    • souths123 on 30/09/2024 - 12:47

      has always been the case….because junk food manufacturers make sure their products are front and centre all the time

      Technically “covered in” not “full of”

      • realaccount627465746 on 30/09/2024 - 12:34

        why not both?

      • GenghisGun on 30/09/2024 - 12:47

        How do you know that they are not systemic pesticides?

    • B3 on 30/09/2024 - 11:35

      Maybe, I soak them in baking soda which is very easy. "it took 12 to 15 minutes of soaking in the baking soda solution to completely get rid of the pesticides used in this study."

        You can also add vinegar to rinse water.

        • leiiv on 30/09/2024 - 13:29

          I use both now, first the baking soda, followed by vinegar.

    I just bought some yesterday at $2.99 for the larger size (300g).

      You can get that at an Aldi now?? Sounds awesome!! Mine is currently $12kg for the small.

      False. The greyish powder is called "bloom". Even homegrown ones have this.

        Although the comment may not be entirely true, however commercially grown blueberries is in the top list of fruits with the most pesticides on them.
        So technically my comment was a half truth :)

        • sund00bie on 30/09/2024 - 15:57

          Got any source to validate those claims for Australian grown blueberries?

          Blueberries get sprayed with fungicides more regularly than pesticides.

          The main use for pesticides in blueberries is against fruit fly and this more so during the warmer months. They're very infrequently used during flowering as well as bees are used for pollination.

      Cool attempt at stating facts when you were just making them up.
      My home grown have the powder too, no pesticides used.

      This is the stupidest comment I've ever read on the internet.

      What you're referring to is called the "bloom"

    • formatc on 01/10/2024 - 03:34

      now i understand why some Aussie grown-up guys don't even eat any fresh produce as everything nature they thinks they are chemicals.

      my ex bf accidently like this and he ate all sort of can fish can vegi oats bar frozen berries and etc to avoid seeing anything nature.

      lucky i left him many years ago..

  • souths123 on 30/09/2024 - 11:50

    damn was in aldi today. If I had seen this beforehand I would have purchased these….$3 for 300g is good value. Normally the punnets are a puny 125g

    • Aldonis on 30/09/2024 - 12:25

      not to worry, the sale starts Wednesday

      • souths123 on 30/09/2024 - 12:43

        not the fresh food specials, that started last week and finishes on 1/10 (tomorrow)

  • fractalsonfire on 30/09/2024 - 11:58

    Hmm not in the WA catalogues, YMMV

    • bonezAU on 30/09/2024 - 12:17

      2 for $6 at Spudshed

    • bargaino on 30/09/2024 - 12:27

      Not cheap at Coles WA either.

      What size at Spudshed?

      • bonezAU on 30/09/2024 - 13:39

        I didn't take any notice, they are quite possibly the smaller ones though.

    Mmm, this is cheaper than frozen berries.

    I am a blueberry fanatic, eating around 2kg per week so I rely on frozen to get my fix. But looks like I'll be visiting Aldi now.

    this special is actually live now and finishes tomorrow. The catalogue starts on Wed but the fresh food specials are always a week in advance of that. The heading need to change, it is not in 2 days

  • strupper2003 on 30/09/2024 - 12:46

    $2.49 at Aldi, Hallett Cove 5158

    • souths123 on 30/09/2024 - 13:18

      this catalogue shown is pricing for NSW/ACT

      • WookieMonster on 30/09/2024 - 13:25

        This price only appears in catalogues for ACT stores and selected NSW stores.

        For example, if you view the catalogue for a number of NSW stores (e.g. Armidale, Ballina, Lismore, Tweed Heads), it instead shows $1.99 for a 170g punnet.

      That's always going to happen with fresh produce.
      You can always inspect the item when you pick it off the shelf and choose another one if you don't like it.
      Take it back to ALDI for a refund if you're not satisfied.

      There really isn't any more that ALDI/Coles/Woolies etc can do to stop this. The onus is on the shopper to select produce that they're happy with and willing to pay for.

      • botchie on 30/09/2024 - 14:42

        that what YOU accept these days
        back in the day and even today, independent fruit and veg shops wont have a poor quality control like this.
        since when is it customers job to quality control?
        you my friend are big business best friend - in line with the hep c frozen blueberries - guess they all should have tested before they bough

    • sund00bie on 30/09/2024 - 16:02

      Aldi is the worst when it comes to supply chains and fresh fruit :(

      Coffs Harbour is the largest producer of blueberries in Australia. Aldi still sends thier blueberries and blackberries (these I can confim) to Sydney and Brisbane before sending them back to Coffs!

      Coles and Woolies buy local here

      • botchie on 30/09/2024 - 16:52

        i hear you, I have shopped at Aldi's since day 1, their meat is crap, fruit and veg also 2nd rate, rest is ok hence i still shop there but any chance i can I will go to local butcher or fruit and veg shop

    • Flying Ace on 01/10/2024 - 08:38

      If you don't inspect your fruit and vegetables when you're shopping, that's on you.

      I'm always amazed at people that just walk past a tray of fruit or veg and pick the first one they can grab.
