In most cases, the Fruit and Veg departments of Woolworths don’t make a profit. WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY? Big evil business wouldn’t do something like that and lose money? Oh no! Well Mr. I believe everything the Labor Party and Today Tonight spout out… the fact is without a Fruit and Veg department the supermarkets would lose customers to other shops with fruit and veg shops because the F&V departments are designed to draw customers in and then they will spend money in other more profitable departments.
EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE IS WRONG. They aren’t price gouging you, there isn’t any ridiculous conspiracy… the fact of the matter is the drought (and other climate issues), increasing world competition and inflation are pushing prices up!

Yeah, but the meat department makes craploads.
As does longlife departments.
