Some people are joining forces for their weekly grocery shop, and it's helping them save money. But they say it's not the only benefit of collective shopping.

"Today, they’ve gone bananas at over $4 a kilo; same for cauliflower — I was shocked to see it being sold for $7 a piece a couple of months ago."
