One Watermelon Costs Up To $34 At Woolies RN So Here’s What Fruit Veg Is Affordable In December

Outraged online shoppers called Woolworths out for its literally unbelievable produce prices this week after someone spotted whole watermelons going for $34.32 each and a quarter for $8.58. I beg your pardon. Watermelons are meant to be the cheap ones! One customer shared a screenshot of the online watermelon prices on Facebook and called it “disgusting”. Agree.

And it wasn’t a mistake — a Woolworths spokesperson confirmed the exorbitant prices to 7News.com.au

“The start of the watermelon season has been affected by wet growing conditions, resulting in reduced availability,” the spokesperson said.

“However, our farmers have told us that they’ve got a great crop on the way just in time for summer so our customers can expect to see an improvement in the coming weeks.”

To be fair, it’s not quite watermelon season in Australia, which usually kicks off around Christmas and runs to mid-autumn. And truly the ultimate food/shopping/budgeting/life hack is to buy what’s fresh and in season.
