Grocery shoppers got quite an eyeful at the Superstore in Charlottetown on Thursday.
About 140,000 pounds of spuds — which the PEI Potato Board is calling the largest display of potatoes ever assembled — were piled up outside the store.
The grocery store, in partnership with Garden Isle Farms, is selling 7,000 20-pound bags of potatoes for $2, with proceeds of each bag being donated to support childhood hunger programs on P.E.I.
Any unsold product will be donated to local Island food banks.
