    Peaches, nectarines and plums have been 89 and 99 cents. I don't ever remember cherries being that cheap. They are $2.99 here. I haven't been to the inexpensive produce stand probably in a week; so not sure what the price is there.

    I go to the local farmer's market and even if the prices are higher sometimes than others, I like to keep the money in our neighbor's hands instead of the big markets.

    I paid $1.68/# for peaches yesterday...hoping to see them for .99 soon and I will stock up the freezer... looks like that may be "rock bottom" for this year.

    I paid $1.67 for a pound of strawberries today. I am NOT liking the prices for MOST produce. I will go to the produce farm later this week.

    This week plums and nectarines are $0.99/lb.

    Also a special Friday only deal for a 5 lb. box of clementine oranges for $5 (normally $9.99 but frequently on sale for $7.99). My kids love these but I only buy them when they go down to $5 which seems to be about once a month or so.

    Peaches- free. I have my own trees.
    Cherries-free. I have my own trees.
    Apples- free. I have my own trees.

    I get a few pears from our neighbor, and she has grapes.I have a strawberry patch , a raspberry patch and two blueberry bushes. I love not being held hostage with those prices.

    Lately I've been buying produce for pretty decent prices..

    Peaches-.88-.99/lb
    nectarines-.99-$1.25/lb
    strawberries-.99/lb
    blueberries-.99/lb
    Dole salad iceburg salad mixes-.78-.99/bag
    iceburg lettuce-.99/head
    Zucchini and squash-.79-.99/lb
    tomatoes-.99/lb

    A few weeks ago, I even found bing cherries for $1.00/lb...yep...bought several pounds.

    I wish these prices would stay around for a while, but I'm sure it won't be too long and they'll be gone.
