is the same as Adelaide - maybe I am a bit biased or old fashioned because I have been shopping at the same fruit & veg shop for about 20 years.
I never buy my fruit & veg at the supermarket only the same fruit & veg shop.I find I always get A1 fresh product & if I want something special ordered in they will always get it for me.The same as if something they have on special isn't the quality they know I expect they very discreetly say - I don't think you will be happy with those pears or whatever out the front - go & get your usual ones or the markets don't have in what you are used to,don't bother this week with those.
Not meaning to sound funny but I just love my fruit & veg & don't mind paying for quality.Unfortunately in the past I have been let down too many times when buying from major supermarket chains so only buy from the local fruit & vegetable store now.
Just a suggstion but maybe if you got to know the owner of your local fruit & veg shop you will be looked after a bit better than shopping at Woollies for an inferior product.Anyway good luck with finding good quality mangosteens !
