I don’t know where you shop but here in Wisconsin most foods are still fairly cheap, I can still get a pint of strawberries for $3.00 and get bulk potatoes for $1-2 FOR A 5lb bag. OJ still is around $4.00 per gallon for the good stuff.
That is NOT cheap. $3 a quart is reasonable, $3 a pint is outrageous. when they're in season spend an hour or 2 with a friend or family member and pick your own. I put 30 quarts of them in my freezer for a total of 2 hours work, an hour with my daughter and an hour with my husband, and a cost of $30.......a buck a quart.
