Ontario Honey Crisps now at $2.99 a pound

The Ontario apple season is in high gear and another lot of the desirable Honey Crisp apples is in the bin at Loblaws at Moore Ave. and Bayview Ave. The thing to notice is the price. These apples are marked  at $2.99 which, with inflation, is about as low as they have been seen since maybe two seasons ago. Now these Honey Crisps are not as choice externally as the first lot which appeared about ten days ago. You will have to watch for the odd bruise and they are somewhat inconsistent in size — some smaller, some big.  No good for art class. But also too good for art class. They have the same wonderful sweet juiciness and texture as the best of the Ontario strain. This apple is worth the price..
