this is good
unless you take into account the fact that asda and tesco fruit and veg can go rancid within 24 hours. i'll go to lidl for my fruit and veg. it may cost a tiny bit more, but it lasts for about a week and doesn't have to be binned. also, i can save £3.60 by walking to lidl instead of having to take the bus to tesco and back.

Must depend on the store.
I've been buying Tesco fruit and veg for the last two years, sometimes it's stayed OK well over a week.

The reason most loose fruit and veg goes rancid muchos quick is because what they do is when packaged fruit and veg is on the day of its use by date they open the packs and stick them in with the loose lot (provided it doesn't look rank already that is) used to work in one of them there food o marts and seen it done many times.

Odd.
Not here at least.
I'm shopping monthly, and some of it lasts nearly a month in the fridge.

i've had lettuce and cucumber from asda turn to mush within 3 days
and lots of people i know have the same problem. i don't know if it's just the north west that this happens in, but i used to have to throw loads of fruit and veg away when i shopped there
