How much are blueberries in your area?

[Quiver0f10]

I haven't bought fresh blueberries in ages so I don't know what is a good price per gallon. Any ideas?

[Susan in KY]

I've been paying $1.89 a pint. :( I *wish* I could get a good price per gallon.

[Melissa in Australia]

they are $25 per kg at a blueberry farm down the road from me. that is a lot cheaper than buying them in the little 100 gram boxes in the supermarket, but still out of my reach.

Not sure exactly how to translate kg into pints or gallons.

 

Edited to add.

My husband told me it was $15 per kg, not 25. I am sorry for my error.

They're expensive here...

 

A good deal for me is $1.50 for one of those little 6 oz. containers (170 grams). 1 pint = 16 oz., so that would mean that I'm paying $4 per pint.

 

DD2 loves blueberries, so go through 2-3 of those little containers per week...

We pay about $2.99 a pint at the grocery store. I'm not sure what they run at the pick-your-own places. We're thinking about planting some bushes since we're trying to expand our garden and dd loves them.

The frozen ones tend to be cheaper.... and work just as well in baking or defrosting a few for on top of cereal. And they don't go bad as you defrost them as you need them.

At the store in our rinky dink town blueberries are 4.99 for a pint.

It's not blueberry season yet, so they're expensive in the stores. Around here you can pick your own in July and August for $1.25 per pound. We picked at least 20 pounds last year and froze them. Still eating them too.

[Jen in PA]

Right now they are $2 a pint fresh, and $2.69/lb. frozen.

I can't wait for blueberries.... as I become more and more sensitive to lots of fruit... I hope I can still eat blueberries this year... (Can't eat tons of fruit like apples, apricots, and more.... )

 

So far... blueberries are safe!! We have two bushes in our yard... YUM!

We go to a Pick Your Own farm and they are $3.29/lb. But so worth it!

[JustGin]

Ours won't be on until July, but around here we can u pick them for around .99 a lb.

In our grocery store, they go down to $1.49/pt sometimes. At roadside stands, they seem to average about the same. At home, they're free if you can get to them before the wildlife!

3.00 for a pint here.

[Closeacademy]

There are some farms around here where you can get them but they are sold out every year before they are picked. So I am not sure what that price would be.

 

Currently, they are 1.48 a pint and sometime over the summer I should be able to get the 5lb box for $5-10 at the store.:001_smile:

[Parrothead]

Free if I go out in the woods and pick them. They are not ready here though.

Right now they are running 2.00 - 2.50 a pint in the store. I think there are from the east cost or down south. When the Michigan berries ripen they are usually around 1.50 rarely I can find them for 99 cents a pint. I also get the from the Amish (who get them in bulk from Michigan) where I pay $20-22 for 10 pounds (there are 12 pints from a 10 pound box).

 

I live on the wrong side of the lake so locally grown berries are hard to find because it's difficult to get them to winter over. Pick your own are $5.00 a pint and at the farmer's market are about $4.00 a pint.

 

We've got another month before the Michigan ones come though but when they do I buy 50-60 pounds.

Ok so $12/per gallon U pick or $18/gallon picked for me sounds like a decent price?
