Produce: Today at the ‘cheap’ supermarket, a pound of strawberries (regular ole ‘berries, not organic or anything sexy) was $4.99. Yikes!

That is the normal price of strawberries in December in this neck of the woods.
What neck of the woods are you in?
The strawberries were $1.99 ~2 weeks ago. I suppose there is a normal raising of prices for Christmas and New Year’s, but a doubling of the price is gouging.
