Brighter news on the vege front!  Lettuce, broccoli, snow peas, Telegraph cucumbers, zucchini, asparagus, avocados and Truss tomatoes are all good value. The supply of Truss tomatoes has increased and allowed for a considerable drop in price. Still the best eating tomato going around, Truss tomatoes compliment summer to perfection. New Zealand Red capsicums are fantastic quality, and at rarely seen prices they are an absolute must for the shopping list.

The versatile asparagus is one of the more popular vegetables in store and are in good supply at the moment.  

Avocado prices have dropped significantly and there are plenty of excellent opportunities this week in stores on Hass avocados. The Hass still remains the avocado of choice amongst those avocado connoisseurs.

Be aware, there are some cheaper, inferior New Zealand blueberries going around. The eating quality of these cheaper blueberries is sure to leave a nasty taste in your mouth!  The pick of the plums this week is the Teegan Blue.  Mainly from the Forbes region, Teegan Blues are an extremely sweet and refreshing fruit. Rockmelon and seedless watermelon continue to be excellent eating and still good value.
