I love blackberry's and blackberry jam is my favorite. But I can never find fresh sweet tasting blackberry's here in Canada, don't know where they come from but they always have a sour bite to them, and I hate to put sugar on them to sweeten them up, because then they are no longer in their natural state. Blackberry's in Canada, at least in Vancouver are expenisve.

Thanks! I saw them at Giant for two for one when I was running in to pick up something a few days ago, but didn't stop to check the price.

Well, the price went from 0.67 cents for a 5-oz. package to $1.50 locally, but the berries themselves remain large, sweet, and tasty.

San Diego. Our Costcos normally get $4.99 for the 18 Oz blackberries, but over the past 4-6 weeks, they have dropped the price due to lots of supply.

Try Costco, just got some last week in Kelowna, so you should be able to get them as well - imported from Mexico.

They went down to $1 for a 5-oz. package last week, but are back up to $1.50 today. Still very good quality, however.
