Today only, strawberries are 99¢ a pound – both organic and regular – when you utter some phrase akin to “I’m having a berry blast.”  Yeah, precisely my sentiments…but we love berries, so I’ll debase myself for my family.  Blueberries were $1.50 a pint.

Check very carefully to make sure you aren’t getting some moldy oldies in the clamshell – – a couple of berries looked like they needed a shave.  Produce manager said that’s how they’re coming from the warehouse (mostly the organics), which leads me to believe that Jewel isn’t concerned so much for my fruit health as with clearing out their warehouse of non-moving perishable fruit…so call me a cynic…
