Not organic, but $4.99 a pound at Publix in central Florida.
Pretty darn good from the Colon Blow farms |

$9.99 is more in line with what I see here in NC for the Rainier cherries. Regular cherries are more in line with the $5-7 others have cited.

Bought a pound of rainier from Costco today - completely flavorless... last weekend got 2 lb of regular and they were very decent...both were $7 per pack..
overall produce quality has been very inconsistent during covid times everywhere... |

could you return the cherries to Costco with any other returns?
I don't know the exact detail as I have not been there for months. But I would assume no for now. |

There was a short story in my local paper today that Washington and Oregon cherry crops will be down about 20% from peak harvest due to some disease. I think it was called little cherry disease. Probably came from China.

Check this out - $9.99 per lb is cheap!

There is a list out somewhere of which fruits are worth paying more for organic. Everything is more expensive organic. I am sure cherries are worth buying organic, so are strawberries. Bananas are not because they are peeled. Pineapple is also not worth buying organic. Apples you should buy organic. I am sure you can find the list.
But unless they are individually wrapped with a bow, I can't fathom $10 cherries. |

I think you have the decimal point wrong. Fruit with a bow, which I've only seen in Japan, is more like US$100, although the bows are very nice, usually velvet and there's a nice gift box too.

My local boutique market also sells them for $9.99 a pound. 1 or 2.99 a pound at Safeway is my kind of price. I love cherry season. The dude on the corner sells a big bag For $10, but his are kinda the leftovers from the field.

I haven’t yet seen much on cherries at Safeway overall and I don’t like market street Safeway only because there is too much empty commercial retail nearby the shop. |
