Bananas· panana
The cheapest fruit in the trolley — and one of the most-tracked staples in NZ supermarkets. We pick the cheapest valid pick at each store every Friday. Worth knowing: loose-by-the-kg bananas and 6-pack bagged bananas are different shopping experiences. The per-kg numbers below put them on the same scale.
