crossy67 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Might sound like a daft question but is there such a thing as an onion season? Tomatoes here are €0.80/kg at the moment but I can't believe the price of onions in the big supermarkets. We usually buy the 5kg sacks but haven't been able to find any recently. With all these cheap tomatoes about I'd like to start making sauces to freeze but the price of the onions is so expensive it's putting me off.

Patf Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm bringing ours inside now, to dry out and store. So you might find they become cheaper soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossy67 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks Pat.I bet the onion season will start just after the tomato season finishes. They're not stupid you know! [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex H Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I find large onions are always expensive - however if ther is a Grand Frais near you they sell large onions in 5kg sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plod Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 In my local Intermarché a kilo of ginger was cheaper than a kilo of red onions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossy67 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 That's what I mean, I am boycotting onions to prove my point[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 It may have something to do ith the very hot spring/early summer we had that has affected the crop. I know my onions were very slow to start and they are not a big this year as they were last year due to lack of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
