How much do you pay for your onions?
« on: April 26, 2014, 08:42 PM »
went to the local Asian wholesalers today and noticed loads of sacks of onions outside, they have always been there but never thought about buying them for some strange reason, well I bought a sack today and they weigh at least 30KG, I was only charged ?6.50 for the pleasure, in the local supermarkets it ?1.00 for 4 measly onions - talk about rip off Britain lol

I always buy onions from the Asian shops
I normally buy the 4kg bag and that's about ?2
If I buy the bigger bags, they are better value, but they sprout before I finish them all
