How much do you pay for cherries?

[quesyrah]

And what type do yo usually buy?

[Rainyday]

On sale for $3.99 lb. I think they are sweet cherries, Mt Ranier.

[gastro]

Bing cherries were on sale for $4.99 a pound recently. I was getting organic for about $7.99 a pound but most of our local organic cherries seem to be done for the season so I've moved on to plums, peaches and melons.

[Deleted]

Sweet organic cherries about 3.99-4.99 per pound. Mmmm

[quesyrah]

Okay so what I pay doesn't seem outrageous. I just paid $4.99 lb for sweet red cherries

Around here that's a really good price and we live pretty darn close to lots of cherry orchards. It's not uncommon to see them upwards of $8.00lb (organic)

[lala]

Further proof I am probably unrealistically cheap. I almost always only but at Costco for $2.99/lb. Bing cherries/dark sweet. I don't care for Mt. Rainer. At the regular stores I might do $3.49/lb.

[minerswife17]

3.99/lb. Cherries are expensive but so dang worth it.

Funny story: When I first started living alone, I went grocery shopping and saw a huge bag of cherries for $3.99. So I thought "dang that's a great price. I wonder why my grandma always complained cherries are expensive?" Well when I got home and checked my receipt, I just paid $15 for cherries. I didn't realize it was per lb. Blonde moment much?!

[andrewsgal]

I get them at Costco. Our co-op does 10 pounds for $25 once a year and I love that! I could eat all the cherries they are my summer bedtime snack.

[justbecause]

Probably 4.99 lb here.
Dumb question: what is the best way to pit cherries? I always seem to make a cherry juice mess.

Eat them and spit the put out. I've seen them between $6.99 and 4.99/lb recently and they're only around for like three months. I'm not going to miss a drop

Put one in your mouth, chew a little, spit out the pit.

Oh, um.....or.....that might be the wrong way....

[lala]

You put the whole thing in and spit the pit out when you're done. Or you can get a cherry pitter. I use that if I'm baking with them or before the kids are old enough to get the pit thing.

[justbecause]

I pit them for the kids or making cherry cobbler. We have cherries so rarely. I haven't bothered to get a cherry pitter.

$0. Cherries are gross.

I think that's the only way. Or the only way I've ever done it.

$4.99 seems like a realistic price. I have seen them $2.99 at Sprouts but at the main grocery store they are more. Cherries are expensive.

[lala]

Today I spent $10.50 on 3lbs.

So no coffee,
no vegetables (that was you, right?)
and no cherries


What is wrong with your taste buds?

You are broken

[mamaalysson]

Organic red cherries are $4.99/lb this week. I'm pretty sure the Raniers are priced similarly. Our neighbor has a tree, though, and just brought over a big bowl of Raniers for us. So, free this week.

[iheartthe80s]

Gag. Never have I bought cherries.

[thecheshirekat]

I don't buy red cherries, but if I can find Rainier cherries I will buy them regardless of price. It's one of very few grocery splurges that I make unapologetically. They're usually $7.99-$9.99 at the regular grocery store, but when Sam's Club has them they're more like $5.99 a pound.

[jensriot]

$1.99/lb on sale. Not organic, sweet red cherries. I have paid $2.99/lb recently.

i like raw vegetables, cucumber, tomato, etc. I only like asparagus and green beans cooked.

[lala]

I cannot understand what is not to like about a cherry. It's like one of my favorite things about summer.

Not true! I just don't LOVE chocolate. If you offer me a Snickers or a Starburst, I'll take the Starburst every time. But if you offer me a selection of truffles, I will take them all.
