Were they any good? If you didn't buy, could you see how they looked?

I don't need any, and so I did not look at them that carefully, but I saw somebody else buying some. The Canadian ones I bought last week for $4.99 were okay when I bought them, but they are not as good now.

$9.99/pound at Fresh Farms Wheeling on 9/9/22. Did not buy.

Jewel Round Lake Beach yesterday, $4.99 for Stemlit "High Altitude" "Half Mile Closer to the Moon" cherries. Excellent flavor, texture and size. I think I now spend more on produce than on meat or dairy. Never used to be that way.

I am surprised that the cherries are still in good condition. The last time I went to Jewel they were $5.99 a pound, and I still had some left from the week before when they were $4.99. I still have peaches and three small melons from the farmer's market, and two pints of blueberries I got at Jewel last time I was there to eat. I spent $16.50 just on fruit in the last week.

$7.99/pound at Fresh Farms Wheeling today. Did not buy.

I was at the Wilmette Jewel on Green Bay tonight, and cherries were $5.99 a pound. I actually put the smallest bag of cherries they had in my cart, but then I decided I did not want to spend $13 on cherries. I would rather spend the money at the farmers market on local fruit. The cherries were passable.

$6.99/# at Fresh Farms/Wheeling late last week. Did not buy.

Bing cherries at Fresh Farms Wheeling today for $5.99 / pound. No indication that I saw of origin.
