Ohhh! I think I could possibly afford to by pass the fruit shop and fly my fruit in from overseas if I was earning 90 odd thousand a day:(:o

WOW that more than English football players--:eek:

I get sides of lamb for about $5 a kg. Good mince is about $11 for 2 kgs.
Local bananas are about $2 a kg (and taste like bananas, unlike those huge things from FNQ).
Avocados are 10 to 40 cents each from the many roadside stalls.
A farmer up the road grows corn, 50 cents a nice fresh cob. And when his pumpkins are ready they go for about $3 for a big fella.
Just wish I could get good apples for a reasonable price, we get thru about 40 a week...
