The price hike is most notable among the "premium" variety, with Coles selling a 350g punnet for $10.90 compared to $6.50 for a standard 250g punnet. Strawberries appear to be out of stock on the Woolworths website. However, 250g punnets are being sold for $7.25 on its Milkrun powered by Metro app.
