Good news on the price front this week: berries are the standout. If the weather holds in Bundaberg, strawberries should stay at $2.50 per punnet - or $18 per half tray (nine punnets, $2 each). Blueberries have softened to $3.48 per punnet, so it’s a good time to stock up.
Beyond berries, mangoes are holding steady at under $4 each. Apples and pears are starting to lift in price, and citrus is gradually winding down for the season, with mandarins, navel oranges and blood oranges set to finish over the coming weeks - grab them while they’re still at their best.

Vegetables are mostly well priced this week. The exception is potatoes: they’re between seasons and scarce, sitting at about double the usual price; new-season spuds should arrive in November. Leafy greens and shallots are a bit elevated after recent weather, while Victorian Asian greens and herbs are still coming through strongly.
Cucumbers, lettuce, capsicum, broccoli, cabbage, beans, avocados and sugar snaps are abundant, and corn has dropped to $1.40 per cob. If you’re after ideas, we’ve pulled together some quick recipes to make the most of this week’s seasonal produce.
