$97. 00 a kg - couldn't believe it! ! This batch of pesto has walnuts in it instead.

We're limited to dear ole Pig n Scratch here in Thames and the bulk bin lady warned me before I started scooping (thank you bulk bin lady). Actually we have Bin Inn too (note to self - check Bin Inn prices).

I use lots of sunflower and pumpkin seeds in my pesto now - much cheaper, with lots of crunch and goodness.

bugger! I was just thinking the other day I haven't had pinenuts for ages.
Cashews are 'ok' in pesto too.
ooooooh, now I want nothing but pinenuts!

Hmmmmmmm - checked Bin Inn - approximately the same price. Looks like pinenuts are a luxury item now.

seaspray - would you like to me to post you some pinenuts? ? ? Happy to purchase them at Moore Wilsons (see cooks pricing) and then courier them to you? ? ? IF there are any other dry goods you are interested in having priced, let me know. DM

Saw Pine nuts at Moshims and Steves bulk yesterday $19. 99 moshims and $23kg at steves (steves are organic too) so $97kg has to be an error on someones behalf (that or they like to rip ppl off! )

yes Countdown today in the bulk bin pinenuts were $7. 95 per 100g - so $79. 50 per kg!

They have been around $70 in the bulk bins for some time, but I was surprised yesterday when they were over ninety, so I bought some packaged ones cheaper. I will have to look for them at moshims, have never seen them there.

Well you're in for a surprise when you next shop there... . . 300g bag is now $23 & 1kg is $72 (incl gst)... . . & yes I do work there ;)

Ok so if you can get them at that price at Moshims then I say 'go for it' and whats more buy several kilos. On Friday I went into Moshims in Christchurchand they were $49. 95 for 500gms. When I questioned the owner he replied "we are a franchise and we can charge what we like so if that is the Auckland price then that is the Auckland price but it's not our's. " Enough said really. Hence I bought cashews which were much cheaper. Moore Wilson is still cheaper than a national franchise... . mmmm... . wonder whatever happened to bulk buying thus enabling negotiating a great ratethus being able to pass it on or are some of the Franchises so doing and pocketing the 'savings'. No more Moshims for me.
