Hi OzBs,
Following items are almost never on sale or prices doesn't drop at supermarkets stores, was wondering is there any place in Melbourne (Nothern Suburbs to be specific) that someone is aware of where they are cheap?
TIA
regards,

Thanks Heizenberg,
I hardly see them on special. The most I see is 2 for $5 or something like that.
I have got asparagus quite often for $1 a bunch at local fruit and veg shops. Would be worth a check.
Same with broccolini. :)
They are almost same prices in fruit and veg shop as they are in supermarkets.
Dont think youll find honey very cheap, Due to there not being much!
Yes, haven't seen honey on special in either Coles or WW for a long time.
Buy in bulk from a bee keeper.
My grandfather is one, so he thinks he gives me a couple of kilos of honey at time for free.. (stash cash in the back pocket haha)
you can scavenge it in the wild.
btw, was watching Landline a few weeks ago, it was saying the honey industry in Aus is almost a monopoly. (capalano's owns like 80%+ of the market)
Ginger has always been expensive. You be better off if you can to plant these in the ground. Only dig up a bit of it and leave it in the ground to keep growing. Thats what my folks do.
Thanks tried that didn't work, will try again.
Buy organic for planting. Plant around September and will be ready to harvest March onwards. You can keep in open for about 4 to 6 months.
Re ginger, there is a fruit-n-veggie shop (which actually sells a lot of other stuff too) in Doncaster Shopping Centre where ginger is frequently $7 per kilo; but it's little bits (like a single round ball or at most two). They seem to be able to get these 'off-cuts' (scrappy wee bits) cheap from somewhere. Unfortunately I don't know the actual name of the place, but it's the one on the ground floor near the Coles, with a Deli up the back. Someone else on here might know the name?
I think it might be Colonial Fresh Markets in Westfield Doncaster

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR HIGHLY INFLATED PRICES FROM eg: GINGER AT $27 PER KILO HAVE NOT SEEN IT HIGHER THAN $16.90 TO $19.90
Aged ginger is around 25+ mark, fresh picked ginger is around 10-18 mark
Is that right soyea? I'm enlightened! I assume that's because the freshly picked stuff has a lot more water still in it, i.e. the 'aged' stuff has lost a lot of the weight but none of the flavour? If that is the case, I'm guessing the stuff I referred to earlier in this thread would be 'fresh'. Humorously, I wondered why it was so cheap (even though it was little bits/knobs), because it still looked really 'fresh'!… lol… Now I know.
Wouldn't you just punch them all through the self-checkout machines at Coles/Woolies as potatoes?
No because that would be theft… Stealing is not a bargain.
it might be different in melbourne but asparagus and brocolini are on special pretty regularly here in adelaide.
