It depends on the type. Small red delicious bags (3 pounds) might be less than $3.00 if they're running a special. I'll have to check. Someone else knows Jonathans! That sounds close in Houston.

I love them! My favorites are Jonathon and McIntosh. I just bought a bag of Paula Red's and they are delicious! I tried a Honey Crisp once and didn't like it. I also don't like Golden Delicious. Red Delicious are ok but if nothing else is on sale I will buy them. I have a question for everyone. What does everybody pay for a bag of apples? The going rate in Indiana is $3.99. Ooo…apples!

I see another vote for Pink Lady. They're $2.79 a pound! However, I'm going to try one. We do have braeburns. I see another vote for Pink Lady. They’re $2.79 a pound! However, I’m going to try one.

Jonathons and Granny Smiths were my favorites for years, but it's so hard to get a nice apple these days, one that isn't all powdery from being on cold store for an eon. We get our Braeburns from the organic place when they're in season and they are magnificent.

Hee! Can you imagine a board of directors' meeting? "The annual meeting of the Piggly Wiggly Board of Directors is in session." I wonder if they can say that with a straight face. I digress. Yes, hard, tangy, and nicely red. Hmmm. Sounds like a new Blaze motto to me. :-D Piggly Wiggly! Hee!

"Good varieties for my taste: Fuji, Gala, and new Honeycrisp (though they’re a bit sweet). Granny Smith, for baking." Except I haven't tasted a Honeycrisp as yet, but I'll go looking for one now. :-) Had no idea there were so many types of apples, many that I've not heard of. Fun post, Heather.
