She can tell by how many are on display, and how yellow, spotted they are if they will be replace in the next day or two with new green bananas hence yielding a "for sale" grocery cart of the too ripe bunch.<br /><br />I almost never by bananas at the premium price of 65 cents/pound. I stock up on sales and the children eat all they want for 2 days then I freeze the remainder whole in their skins. When pulled from the freezer and microwaved for 30 seconds, the bananas are great in cake, bread, cookies, or pancakes.<br /><br />Be observant. Also know the stores in your area. A new "Trader Joes" just opened here. They carry bananas at $.19/pound regular price - they are green but at that price one can buy and wait.Crystal J.

I appreciate your wisdom and experience. Have you learned when loss leaders are available through time or is there a way to learn this skill? I would find this an invaluable resource. I guess I have been too haphazard in my buying, because I have never noticed, or perhaps paid enough attention to the changes in prices over the course of a year. If you have any other tips on learning this specific skill, I'd love to hear from you.Wendynoreply@blogger.com
