$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.

Costco has implemented a special policy in light of COVID-19 in term of return.

I don't know the exact detail as I have not been there for months. But I would assume no for now.

Ive only heard about no returns on hoarded items. I dont think cherries are being hoarded.

We returned some items, in mid March, with no problem. Moldy water bagels be gone!

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.

Actually I have found that organic bananas have a several-day-longer edible shelf life than conventional bananas, so I always buy them (and bananas are one of the very few things for which I insist on paying up for organic). I am one of those people who cannot stand mushy bananas.

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.

in sf - like Lukes, harvest foods, or buffalo in Castro? Glad to see a post matching organic at $9.99.
I havent yet seen much on cherries at Safeway overall and I dont like market street Safeway only because there is too much empty commercial retail nearby the shop.
