pretty good
the zucchini grew too big though will be flavourless and fuck silverbeet that's a trash vegetable

>>16594257
$60 AUD would get you so much KFC.
What a waste.

>>16594257
My housemate worked on a farm last year and would bring home boxes like this for free it was so fucking good

>>16594278
thats true, you can get about 11 mash potato bowls for $60, which is about 4ish days worth of food

>>16594257
Where in Australia? I'm in NSW and I'm a few teen boys to hurt my cock with farm equipment.

60 dollarydoos is about 43 freedom dollars. That looks a little sparse for that amount of money. Is produce typically expensive in the land down under?

>>16594257
You got ripped off m8. I could get twice that amount of produce for half the price at my local market.

>>16594537
a lot of stuff is cheaper in the US, even if the dollars were equal it still costs less over there for some reason
>>16594540

>>16594257
>rate my haul
>60 dollars
I rate it extremely overpriced, do ausfags really pay 60 dollars for a few carrots and broccolis?

>>16594257
post pics of whatever is in that enclosure behind the table

>>16594634

>>16594680
unfortunately this is /ck/ so now you have to cook it up and eat it

>>16594686
aww bugger, ya did the ol' switcheroo on me

>>16594257
looks like thrown away shit that you stole from a dumpster one night because you're poor and stupid

>>16594701
id probably do that too

>>16594257
I don't even know what most of this stuff is

>>16594257
>tfw mushrooms at the local grocer are so expensive
don't even have any besides button and portobello baka

>>16594517
>Smellbum

>>16594725
That's okay sweetie, you're American

>>16594257
Why are the carrots chodes?

>>16594257
That'll cost me around 5 bucks where I live. Although, it is a third world country.

If that stuff is actually tasty, here's what I would expect to pay in NZ (assuming getting a pretty good deal, and below supermarket costs).

$5
>Avocado
>blueberries

$3.50
>Mushrooms
>Green Beans
>Brocolli
>Kumura
>Cauli

$2
>Lettuce
>Herbs
>Leek
>Zucchini
>Celery
>Carrots
>Tomatos
>Garlic
>Banana

$1.20
>Silverbeet
>Onion
>Potatos
>Pumpkin
>Oranges
>Pears
>apples
>Swede
>Betroot

So that's $56 all up
$53 AUD
$38 USD

So basically yeah. $60 is about right. That's a great service to have. I think most of the people saying that price is insane probably don't often buy vegetables and are just gaslighting you.

>>16594887
Full-sized assault carrots were banned in Australia decades ago.

>>16594257
>$60
Tell em they're dreamin' mate

>>16594257

For less than the cost of those veggies, you can buy a case of VB and some petrol, which you will enjoy much more.

>>16594537
>Is produce typically expensive in the land down under?
Literally everything is expensive here

>>16594537
>Is produce typically expensive in the land down under?

Better than New Zealand, where home gardens are illegal.

>>16594680
he cute

>>16595033
kek

>>16595024
$5 per avocado maybe you lying fuckwit.

>>16595047
What?

>>16594257
Fresh produce looks so fucking good and it's all in season right now.
I end up buying way more than I need because I see a really nice cabbage or something and I just gotta have it.
Nice haul. Please share what you cook with it when you do.

>>16595145
it routinely comes down to $2
you can get 3 for 5 (or better) from roadside stalls often and even sometimes the grocer

Hyper inflated prices simply aren't relevant. They're strawman nonsense. I wouldn't pay them. And I'm not interested in them.

>>16594257
what the fuck, thats a huge leek

>>16594278
Honestly this seems like not enough vegetables for $60.
I suppose the avocado, leek and broccoli makes up a lot of that cost.. you could buy 10 whole chickens for $60 AUD at the right store.

>>16594257
Not bad, sort of expensive though I can get zucchini for like 75 cents each and they are the size of my forearm

rate my haul, free, from my garden right outside of my house

>>16595890
>I can get zucchini for like 75 cents each and they are the size of my forearm
anon that's bad
zucchini get so much worse as they get bigger they turn into another totally edible vegetable with zero effort that no one even sells it's so bland

>>16595902
I know that, you can remove the seeds and the skin and still consume the flesh, or you can mince it for zucchini bread. You can also do one of Chef John's newest uploads with larger zooks.

Also I figured I'd take a second to list prices where I live since everyone listed some weird ass prices.

Like I said huge zooks for less than a dollar
Garlic for 75 cents to a dollar

Honestly now that I think about it it's just that I live in farmland so in season vegetables are basically free, I can go buy bell peppers for a quarter at an amish place, squash the size of my head for less than a dollar too. You guys in the thread are mostly listing prices that I see in the winter.

>>16594257
Expensive as hell.

>>16594257
If AUD:USD is 1:1 then you got a shit deal. That’d be like 30-40 human dollars.

>>16594278
You could buy like 800 packs of ramen with that money

>>16594680
Do all aussies have snakes as pets?

>>16595890
>free
so your time is worth nothing to you? while you were out growing your faggy zukes you use to cram up your ass I was out making money

>>16594257
i think 60aud is a too much for that. swiss chard and zucchini, onions, potatoes, carrots are all very very cheap.

>>16594278
it gets you a 12 piece bucket and maybe a 3-piece feed on the side
so no.

if he wanted to go actual poorfag mode, he could've loaded up on $2-for-5 packs of Mi Goreng, 30c cans of spaghetti and $1 packet instant pastas. $60 of that shit feeds a uni student for a month.

>>16594537
fresh fruit... nah, dirt cheap. can get watermelon for 30c/kg and pineapple for about the same price.
but he's a southern hipster so not only are his prices more expensive but he's bought hipster shit like $5/each avocados instead of buying the cheaper stuff like pumpkin.

>>16594537

>>16598625
who the hell sells watermelon by weight? I can buy a watermelon for $3 in season in the US

>>16597678
not this retarded argument again

>>16596143
see>>16594549
for example a QTR pounder is Aus is $6.70, in USA its $3.80.
if we go by exchange rate alone (1U=1.38A) then a QTR should be $5.25 but theres more to it then that, like america having agriculture subsidies, lower minimum wage and uses different cheaper ingredient

whats retarded about it? highly productive, high income earners will value their time a lot more than low income earners with low productivity so you have just exposed yourself as an incapable poorfag wagie.

>>16602214
That idea that if you're not working and earning money then you're spending money.
And the other idea that the amount of money you can earn is what determines your value of life and as a person. It's a spastic idea
