New World extortionate pricing

Judith from Ilam

Just a few days ago I purchased beautiful, large, Australian Mangoes from Growers Direct Church Corner Riccarton for $5.50 each. I always keep an eye out for them at this time of the year having grown up with them for many years when living in Australia. Today (4/10)when in New World Fendalton they have them, packed in singles on plastic trays and covered with cling wrap at $9.99 each. Who is ripping us off here if a small, privately owned vege shop can sell for $5.50 each. And...to think they need all that excess packaging. When expressing my outrage to the Duty Manager about the price, the response was "thank you for your opinion" and he turned and walked away. Honestly, they don't deserve the custom they get.
