Falling into produce promotions:

I've seen Honeycrisp apples featured a couple times in food page ads, and this week Dillons is featuring Honeycrisp at $2.49/lb. Consumers are becoming more familiar with this variety and understand the higher price point comes with a payoff of great taste. Meanwhile, red seedless grapes get some aggressive features this week.
