On Saturday, I picked up a 40-lb case of organic bananas, a 100-count case of organic D'anjou pears, and a 7-count case of organic pineapple, all for about $85, from a local wholesaler.

I found mould on my laptop bag. Sheets of paper are disintegrating! It's like when I lived on the boat!

Great posts, everyone! I may not last the week either, because three of my mini watermelons were not edible (well, the sheep and dogs thought they were yummy). Also, seems I really bought more like 5lbs of lettuce - I just assumed bags labelled 12oz weighed 12oz but I put it on my mini-scale each bag was around 18oz.

I have to go translate kg into pounds now....

Sounds like some of you get some really awesome deals!

I love it when people reduce or give away 'bad' fruit which is often not even fully ripe in my eyes. More for us! :)
