The supermarket chain, Farro, says the steep price tag was because watermelon is out of season and the fruit had been imported.
Auckland's Megan Robinson shared a photo of the 10 kilogram watermelon on social media, with a Farro supermarket price tag of $102.25.
Farro says the seedless watermelon in this instance was sourced from Australia as there is no watermelon available in NZ.
That means it incurred high supply chain costs.
