I still have a tin of beetroot in my cupboard. There’s only myself who eats it anyway. I’d rather go without than spend such an expensive price for a tin of it. Caviar is probably cheaper. Maybe the tins contain gold?

Why not just use fresh beetroot? That’s insanity.

How ridiculous to think people might pay that much for beetroot. I still have a few jars on my shelf at home and I also still have 1.5kg jar of homemade pickled beetroot to slowly munch through, so I wouldn’t pay that sort of price, I’d rather go without.

I haven’t noticed the shelves as I had 3 tins of beetroot and still going through the last one. Surely people aren’t going pay those crazy prices for tinned beetroot.

  It can be hoped that people have more sense.

Oh my goodness, that’s crazy ! I quite often buy fresh beetroot and haven’t noticed price change

Really? Gosh some people are just crazy! I could live without

I love beetroot but there’s no way I’d pay those prices for it. I tried to get some doing an online shop but the only brand available was from China

My goodness – I love beetroot and didn’t even realise this was an issue! Would never pay that much.

Who would pay that for a tin of beetroot?! It won’t sell, that’s just ridiculous! I love beetroot but I can wait til there’s more stock on the shelves

I hadn’t noticed, because I wasn’t looking, but this is insane. And I actually have a can or two in my pantry! Anybody??!!

I haven’t noticed any shortages in Tassie yet…

Lucky I’m the only one in my family that loves it ! But I have noticed that it’s missing so I’ve just bought the home brand one where possible

Greedy and revolting behaviour and hopefully people have more sense than to buy overpriced beetroot.

Luckily I use it slowly and always have back up in the pantry so I hadn’t even known here was a shortage. A hamburger isn’t a hamburger without beetroot.

I’ve been wondering where the beetroot had gone. I usually buy Golden Circle or Edgell and couldn’t find any. I ended up getting a different brand. Time to buy some fresh

Yuck, lucky I’m not a fan of Beetroot – I actually think it tastes like dirt!
But yes, again with the greedy people out there trying to rort people for their own gain.

  Agree wholeheartedly!!! Dirt in a tin! Bleeagh!
  It’s only worth what someone will pay for it,cwhich in my case…..is nothing!

Greediness taking over again. Seriously what extremes people will go to to earn money.

Hehe, a friend and I about 20 years ago used to pretend beetroot was an expensive, rare delicacy and would slice it in to tiny slivers to eat. We were just ahead of our time!

Wow! We’ve still got a 3kg tin of beetroot that we bought from a discount supermarket a while ago that we haven’t opened because we don’t know how to use it all once it’s open ???? Maybe now is the time to share it around!

Wow who would of thought people would pay big bucks for beetroot????????‍♀️
