Conversely, certain fruits experienced declines in their average prices. Egremont Russet apples exhibited a small dip, with the average price moving from £1.45 to £1.44, equating to a 1% decrease. Braeburn apples also followed this downward trajectory, with their price falling from £1.20 to £1.19, similarly reflecting a 1% weekly drop. This reduction was mirrored in the Gala apple variety, where the average price decreased by 3% from £1.20 to £1.16. These decreases indicate a balancing effect in the market, possibly due to variations in supply or demand.

Vegetables showed a different dynamic, with notable increases in the prices of certain varieties. For example, Curly Kale saw a weekly rise from £4.27 to £4.41, marking a 3% increase, while Dwarf, French, or Kidney Beans experienced a sharper uptick from £3.38 to £3.64, representing an 8% rise. The most pronounced change was in the pre-packed Spring Greens category, where the price soared from £1.49 to £1.86, resulting in a remarkable 25% weekly jump.

Overall, the data highlights a mixed but stable market for fruits, alongside more dynamic shifts in vegetable pricing.
