We don't know about the other big supermarkets, but our local one, Morrissons, has loads of great offers on fair trade products at the moment, to coincide with Fair Trade fortnight.
Of particular interest to banana lovers Monkey, Ellie and Billy, when we visited last weekend, was the 25% reduction on fair trade bananas. These 3 decided that we should take advantage of the offer and buy twice as many bananas as usual. One of the reasons we could do this with confidence was because of the purchase of our new banana bag. You will see it, along with our fair trade bananas, in our picture.
The banana bag, purchased the week before last, is already proving a great hit with us all. It is lovely and yellow and it keeps bananas fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. This is simply great as we all prefer a nice fresh banana rather than a black and furry one.
If you want to take maximum advantage of great offers, like the Morrisson's bananas discount, get yourself a banana bag, and you can do some serious bulk buying. Don't forget to look for the fair trade label though.
We're loathe to tell you where they come from, as we think they would make great Christmas present for our families, but since we hope there will be people reading who won't be getting a present from us (sorry!), we'll let you know that you can buy them in Lakeland (formerly Lakeland Plastics.
Lots of love, the Bears Unlimited Fair Trade supporters (that's all of us!) xxx

Thanks for the recommendation boys! Do you still make use of your banana guards when out and about? We thought the banana bag was a sleeping bag for Monty at first!
The Harpenden Branch also use a banana bag for their Fairtrade bananas, and find it very good. We also like the potato, veg and mushroom bags. They keep everything so fresh. Wonderful for carrots.
