    has been selling loads of them for 33 cents a pound lately for the last week. They are in the ripe stage (no green).

    Superstore is the only one I have noticed to regularly mark the "older" produce down in price. There is a cart at the back of the produce section, close to the bulk foods where you often can find bananas and other produce marked down in price.

    Because green tinged are no good for baking. Bananas have to be over-ripe for baking if you want your banana bread or muffins to turn out proper. Even Yonanas (ice cream sustitute) requires over-ripe bananas.  
    Sure, you can buy regular and wait for them to over-ripen, but they are usually reduced to 50% off at stores if over-ripe at time of sale.

    You can roast ripe or under-ripe bananas in the oven to get them ready to use in baking - just another suggestion!
