Valencias under a navel sign

That's what I saw at the Wal-Mart Supercenter this morning. While there is a lot of signage to worry about in the Wal-Mart produce department, it appeared the valencia sign had not been dusted off and put out yet.

The hot summer fruit promotions continue at the supercenter in suburban KC. Peaches were still priced at 76 cents per pound this morning but were not displayed prominently and could be coming off that. Nectarines and plums had a stand alone display at $1.24 per pound for both items., and that was the same price per pound for red and green seedless grapes.

Northwest cherries haven't really been featured at a super hot price at Wal-Mart, though $2.98 for bings and $4.98 for rainiers is reasonable. Pluots were $2.86 per pound.

Watermelons were featured at $2.98 for the mini-seedless and $3.98 for the standard sized.
Home grown Frey Farm cantaloupe were priced at $1.88 each,

Sweet corn was priced at four ears for $1, slightly lower than a week ago, and slicing tomatoes from Arkansas were 88 cents per pound.
