The supermarket sold about two tonnes of tomatoes on Wednesday morning alone, with 9 cents a kilogram prices drawing plenty of attention online. The one-day only sale was thought to have been the lowest price for NZ tomatoes in some 10 years. Tomatoes NZ general manager Helen Barnes said generally supermarket tomato prices only occasionally went below $2 a kilogram.
