What's behind the price
UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on onion button can shift week to week.
Across the year the trend has been up. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Per case or per kilo?

Sold loose by the kilo; buy a uniform small size for even cooking and check there is no soft or sprouting stock in the bag.
