FFS. What's up with the price of fruit? I've been wanting some fresh, juicy apples for a long time. Finally stopped in to King Soopers and the prices on Honeycrisp Apples were freakin' stupid high! $3.49 a pound. I was complaining about the prices and the clerk said they're a seasonal item and the season is ending. F**K THAT! I left. I got 'em at Safeway for $2.99 a pound. Seemed a lot more reasonable to me.

I'd suggest you go to Safeway for your Honeycrisp Apples.

Well, when you post them up in the trading post, I hope you don't jack up the price.

I mean honestly who needs honeycrisp apples anyway? Cant we all agree that the plain cheap red ones are enough and satisfy your blood lust for honeycrisp? And do you really need a bag of them that holds multiple pounds of them? I think that they should be sold individually and no more than ten in possession at any time.

I do all my produce shopping at H Mart or Asian markets. They are usually cheaper than king soopers/Safeway.

Ohh, I keep those dangerous apples out of my house and away from my son. They should randomly tax the really good ones $200 to make it harder for sketchy people to buy them.

Gosh, ya know, that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" is just so effing antiquated, you conservatives need to come into the 21st century already and eat organic humus and vegan pasta!

As a member of the ruling party I command you to stop bashing King Soopers. I fully understand that they were bought by some faction of the DHS but this constant bashing of our local "FO'S" (Food Outlets) has and will stop or the ban hammer be upon you.

In addition the LEO's on the board state that KS Donuts are better than Dunkin along with the fact that being "self serve" all they have to do is load up a box and walk out. The other places have counters guarding the prized morsels at all hours.

As far as the Apple issue goes all that crap fell off the tree months ago so as to buying Apples in January means you are supporting the underbelly of the world and that is the same thing as saying you want to do the Cleavland Steamer with Rep. DeGette.

In closing Ray only likes Apples that have been cut to look like Cheetos. Part of the staff has spoken. [Flower]

It's like you were totally reading my mind. How did you know that?

So I guess soon you can't get apples whose cores hold more than 10 seeds? What if it has certain assault fruit modifications like a threaded stem?

Freaking newbs. Should have bought more apples before the prices went up. Wait until the last minute and then whine about price gouging. I got my Honeycrisps at $1.19 a pound in high capacity grocery bags. What you need to do is donate money to the Rocky Mountain Apple Eaters!

An apple a day may keep the doctor away. But an apple upside the head will knock you right the fuck out.

49 cents a pound at Sprouts this week
Why should I have to pay for apples?
Its my right to have access to apples and Im being denied access to those apples. How am I supposed to afford .49 cents a pound! I demand my apples be paid for by the tax payers, those 1% ers who have all the orchards and have all the apples they will ever need!
I just want my fair share of apples at someone else's expense!

I stocked up when they were $0.50/lbs at Sprouts. You should have seen this coming. Your fault for not preparing.

I'll sell you some for $10/lb...you'll wish you had bought them at this price when the stores don't have 'em anymore.

I bought a mixed bag of apples back when they readily available and cheap. Froze some for a later day. Some have 30 seeds, some 10. But they all have the same propose to make one happy. I'm working on a new cultivar of apple, I hope I can complete it ASAP. It's across between an African apple and a white Fuji apple and pecans. I cant tell you where I grow it but it rhymes with Hawaii. I call it an "Obamapegone Bad Apple" [Coffee]

I thought this was going to be a computer rant. Kinda feel denied. [Cry]

Safeway gets my business for apples. No games and a fair price. Sadly, the don't sell okra anymore. I'm not sure I want to do business with a company that is afraid to sell okra.

Yes, there IS the view that only bakers and chefs should have apples. After all, they're professionally trained. Amateurs can only make a mess of things.

It's the apples, the apple peelers and them quick apple chopper/core tools out there that make 8 slices and core in one quick press. WHO NEEDS 8 SLICES ??? I am officially joining with the Dems to regulate the sell of apples, stop the sell of automatic peelers, lower the capicity of the 8 slice chopper/corer tool thingys and start back ground checks at the register for all types of apples including other "assault" type produce.
