Also, for the last two weeks, grapes, when we can find them, have been over $2.50 per pound. I resorted to paying almost %6.00 for 24 ounces of blueberries, because I can take just a few ounces a day and still have fresh fruit.Dora, the Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043451474748191494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-44856575079475655962013-01-27T16:29:25.684-05:002013-01-27T16:29:25.684-05:00My husband grows ours and he got a bunch with 231 ...My husband grows ours and he got a bunch with 231 bananas.We shared with family and neighbors.

Maybe that is why... such a good price. My poor hubby has been living off them for months now while his teeth situation gets resolved. Saw a show where an older lady had some odd disease way back when.. she ate two bananas a day for the first 5 years of her life. Poor thing. Point is, they are a PERFECT FOOD. I like to get them as green as I can since they ripen so fast and we throw so many away, hard to find here.

I know it is for a pound and we do kg here in Sweden but if I were to buy bananas here it would cost me 3$ a kg which is 19,90 swedish kr (and converting kg to pounds would be 1.5$/pound I think) and that is still considered a good price here!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05021883181456468645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48575223116296299532013-01-27T01:14:52.917-05:002013-01-27T01:14:52.917-05:00Useless piece of brain flotsom here, but I read on...Useless piece of brain flotsom here, but I read once that bananas are Walmarts biggest seller. Sell more bananas then anything else in store. If you notice when you are checking out, most everyone around you has bananas in their buggie. Here they are 52 cents a pound.
