That’s how I am with raspberries and blueberries. On the rare occasion they’re on sale, I jump for those quarts and feel such elation! LOL

Here in MI the bing cherries are on sale for $2.49 a pound. Normally they run $4.99 and more if you want Ranier.

I often struggle with buying local produce from a roadside stand and paying the cheaper price at Meijer, especially with all the concerns over imports.

My husband loves cherries but our budget is tight.

Carbs are cheap, produce out of season, dairy and meat isn't.

The urban neigbourhood I grew up in had been market gardens until hurricane Hazel wiped it out in 1954. One of the effects of the storm was that the berry canes went feral in the parkland around the neighbourhood. I fondly remember spending summer afternoons in the woods and coming home with three to four quarts of raspberries, blackberries and thimbleberries :-)
