Today we bought from a supermarket some strawberries which were sold at HK$18.8/pound. The price of strawberries fluctuates much in Hong Kong. I remember the cheapest lot we bought recently was at $15/pound. After that, the price rose to $30 to $40 something. In the past, we considered strawberries a luxurious kind of fruit to eat, so we seldom bought them. Instead we ate strawberry-tasted ice-cream or Sugus.
The strawberries here came from Santa Maria on the pacific coast of California. The biggest one is 5 cm long, widest at 4cm and thickest 3 cm. The coats of these strawberries are red and shiny. It must be quite juicy inside.
Strawberries are quite cheap in Canada. Philip told me that similar amount of strawberries is sold at about 2 Canadian dollars (roughly HK$12). What about the prices of strawberries on the mainland of U.S.A.?

Wow, it looks very juicy~
in Toronto, sometimes it costs only 99 cents which is HK$6.
Hope you have enjoyed the strawberries.
Thanks, David, for telling me that strawberries are so cheap in Toronto.
Which season?
Philip told me that there would be less or no strawberries to be sold in autumn and winter in Canada.
Things in Toronto are always much cheaper than those in Vancouver... ^_^
We are so envy...
in Toronto, we have strawberries sold all year round, in June we have picked your own, in other season we have strawberries from California, Mexico, and in Winter we have them from Chile, South America. Today, I just buy one in CAD$1.47/pound. If it costs more than $2, it is too much for us.
I am happy to see so many strawberry lovers come together to chat!
"Strawberries" becomes a hot topic from now on. Good news!
