Fresh Summer Fruit, When and Where do you get it?

[Patty Smyth]

Let me know next time I'll be seeing you and I'll bring the bag .

So, I went to the Metro to pick up the strawberries at the stand outside and it was 26$ for a box of 12 pints. I swear I remember paying 20$ last year but the girl told me these cases are bigger . Anyone know if 26$ for that size is a good price? It seems a little steep to me.

I paid $16 on Saturday

For the same size case, Patty? Holy smokes, to think I was going to buy it tonight too . Good thing I thought to check here first.

12 pints = 6.6L

Fruiterie 440 has Quebec strawberries for 1.49$/1.5L

That would make it 1/3 the cost of the stand at Metro? Am I doing the Math right ?

What I know is: The place where I go to pick them myself tomorow is 6$ for 4L basket

Are you sure about the 1.49$ for 1.5L? If yes, I change my destination for tomorow!!!

Cr@p! Today's the last day of the special, ARGHHHH!!!

ok, this is not 1.49$/1.5L but 2.49$/1.5L this make more sense.
