Took skin off banana to reduce price at Tesco self service today...

[hopkins]

Got questioned by the Tescos employee but I said the skin was packaging and of no actual use to me. So after the weighing process it Reduced the price by 3p. Thank me later.

Did you learn this from 'Top Tips' in Viz?

I love that story. Please let it be true!

I think Tesco's sell all of their single bananas at a fixed price. If so I suspect the story is untrue which is disappointing.

I'm going to take a can opener with me next time I go to Sainsbury to buy a tin of baked beans.

Sold by the weight according to this

Cool.

Great story, but patently untrue. If you took the skin off, you'd save a lot more than 3p...

We buy bananas for the week ahead. Usually 12 or so and pick the best bunches to last, some yellow and some green so that always taste fresh and have a decent yellow one as we go.

Peeled bananas will go off too quickly and render them useless unless they're frozen with skins off.

On a completely different tangent. If I were to buy bunches of grapes, cherries, strawberry, blueberry, mushrooms, peppers etc, basically anything in a bag and unwrap them at checkout could I save 0.3pence on my weekly shop? That would be a massive 15.6p per year!!

Potential banana skin?

I always take a sharp knife to Tesco and remove broccoli stalks before weighing. I estimate this simple measure has saved me several hundred pounds over the past ten years.

I suppose the same could be said, when buying corn on the cob, remove the husks before buying?

Great stuff. Is this from the forthcoming new Alan Partridge?

Don't buy broccoli and you'd have saved thousands.
