Woolworths boss Brad Banducci has defended the amount of food the supermarket giant rejects with a top executive saying no one wants a banana that is "too big", a South Australian parliamentary inquiry has heard.
Woolies did do a good thing by bagging up the less perfect looking fruit/veggies and selling that separately cheaper. I’m assuming Coles does the same.
A lot of independent grocers also do the same. There are a few fruits and vegetables (tomato, pear, apple, zucchini, capsicum, cucumber, eggplant, avocado, onion) that I often buy like this. Always considerably cheaper per kilo than buying them loose (unless the equivalent was on special), though sometimes the quality isn’t as good.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an “odd bunch” veggie that i wouldn’t be happy to pick off the shelf, but I’ve seen plenty on the shelf I wouldn’t pick
they seem more like weird shaped veggies than minor damage. and nit a whole lot cheaper either
