Capsicums
Winter capsicum prices can swing hard week to week. Red, yellow, green — same plant, very different shelf price. We pick the cheapest valid one at each supermarket. Worth knowing: when the headline pair doesn't match on colour, the gap reads as colour-tier as much as supermarket. Our pool here is thin — back in a few issues once it deepens.
