Slightly off topic, but maybe you cherry fans can help me.
Cherry pie is one of my favorites, but - oddly - fresh cherries have pretty much no flavor to me. This is true of Ranier as well as the regular cherries. Whats up with that?
I bought some Morello cherries in glass jars from Lidl and from Aldi recently just to try them. The Lidl ones were tasty, but the Aldi ones were not much more flavorful than fresh. Doesnt make any sense to me.

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.
If they get too ripe, you can always make banana bread or muffins.

I returned to Gus’ today - $9.99/lb for organic USA cherries.
$6.99/lb for california cherries.
I got the organic but did get conventional for some produce that wasn’t available in organic.

Is Gus' some kind of fancy pants high end market? $6.99 for non organic sounds like robbery. Even WF was cheaper than that & I think they are usually pricey.

their small topo Chicos are $10.80 for a box of a dozen bottles. Its a mile or two from home so mega bonus for me, which is why Ill go there. But recall that Darth Yeti also mentioned $9.99 for organic cherries at their local supermarket which only has one location.
I did feel sticker shock at wild local salmon - $33.99/lb. I can buy their farmed Scottish salmon at $17.99/lb which I would do if there was no other option.

Blah. No organic cherries at the grocery today and we ran out so I sigh-bought california cherries at $5.99/lb. blah. My spouse will eat them but I’ll eschew them. Chances are high that 1/3 to 1/2 of the bag will be tossed after I find organic cherries.
well maybe I can freeze the cherries and then bake them instead of dried cherries into scones.
