lets say you usually buy bananas for $2.49 a kilo would you be buy it if for any reason (not enough supply) its priced at a higher price ($4 which is still cheap for a Kilo of bananas)
It can be any thing such as tomatoes, avocados, onions
Would you buy a Food and Grocery Item thats priced higher than its (Cheap) normal price?

i agree poll is bad
paying $2-3 per condom at 1am when your about to get lucky vs waiting till the next day and paying $.50 per at colesworth when they open.
its need vs want.
Or you could wait for ozbargain special.
This is more about fresh productsbeautiful comparison
Australian bananas are insanely expensive, even at $2/kg. Now at $4.50 is just beyond ridiculous, but they're out of season, so buy something else.
Bananas in the US are $0.49/lb (A$0.63/lb / A$1.39/kg).

Depends on the price of alternative items that may suit my appetite.
Of course I would if I want to eat bananas.
Agreed. If we're talking a fairly minor price difference, and I want the product, then meh
Poll needs 4th option - "Yes, If I want it now"
Too many scenarios. Generally no, but if you stick to eating seasonal produce you don't usually pay prices that are too high.
Not only is seasonal cheaper, but it also tastes the best when in season.
generally no, it would also depend on what the alternatives are, and whether you are able to substitute. like @dasher86 says, you cant make banana bread without bananas, but you could try a pear loaf. but if it's someone's dying wish for you to make banana bread you would pay a handsome sum for those bananas.
Nice try Mr Colesworth.
Depends, some of my fresh produce staples I will buy at any price within reasonable limits (bananas, apples, spinach/rocket leaves etc)
Other stuff I will buy what looks nice at a reasonable price - good to have variety anyway
Just use your common sense.
that's why OP has to ask to gain common sense :)
I usually buy bananas for $1.49 or $1.99 per kilo from local green groceer. I won't buy after $2.00 and I will look for reduced to clear bags after that ($2 per a bag) if really needed. Otherwise, I will buy an alternative like oranges.
Will buy at $1.99 but not $2.01 😂 What a miserable life to lead to not buy bananas to save 1c per banana.
Not even one cent a banana, it is 2c per kilo which is probably 5 bananas.
But it also is good signalling to seller that there is a clear line where demand drops off.
For Banana's have your kid get/eat one from the free fruit stand (available at most worthworths and some coles).
If it's always on sale like arnotts shapes or coca cola, then yes. I often cringe when I see someone with 4-5 2lt bottles of coke in trolley at $4 each.
More expensive per ml than every other variant!
Like when you have the 30pk on special and someone has a full priced(more expensive) 24pk in their trolley -.-
My favourite back when I was a young 'dairy boy' was a lovely old lady who grabbed a 2L Peters vanilla ice cream,
I said 'excuse me, did you know the 4L is currently cheaper than the 2L.'
Her response 'Oh I could never eat 4L.'
She was back in the next week buying her 2L.
Kinda depends on the situation. I'd buy the smaller packsize if expiry is sooner than I think I'll finish it, and when I want a choice of different flavours. And if there isn't enough storage space
Where's the Poll option that says I don't look at the price of the fruit/Veg and buy it because I want it?
Options are: only if I must, No and no.
Personally I don't look at the price of fruit and veg. Nearly everything else in the store I look at promos. But not fruit and veg.
so you want to eat peaches, right this very moment.. and they are currently $30/kg you would buy them. ?
Probably still cheaper per kg than some horrible Macca's meal which no one seems to think twice about.
Valid point, I’ll try to get it updated
Mod: could you please add an option to poll
I’ll buy it regardlessWhile you’re at it, can you please get them to add a “yes, I have a pet monkey and have no choice” option? Thanks.
Yeh you still buy but just less than you normally would
All fruit apart from watermelon is overpriced so no, i wouldn't.
If I really want to eat something on that day, will buy it unless it's obscenely expensive.
It would depend on whether my personal demand was elastic or inelastic for the particular product and if the product had a substitute or not.
So bananas I'm pretty inelastic on and other fruits don't get the job done. Strawberries and other berries I'm both very elastic on and have a lot of substitute products. So bananas I'll pay whatever up to a point. Berries I'm very price sensitive.
Yeah, punnets of blueberries, raspberries can fluctuate week to week.
Many items I only buy when they're on special: frozen pizza, coffee bags, tea bags, sim card starter packs, chocolate milk, fancy 1L tubs of ice cream,…
It really depends what it is and if can it be substituted.
Say I want banana as a piece of fruit and it is $4 a kilo, and not $2.49, i may go buy apples instead if they are cheaper that week.
but say i want banana to make a recipe and i don't want to change that recipe eg. banana bread well i might still buy the bananas.
