Well, that and the cost of the energy used directly, and/or any gas used
in driving around for the free stuff, the cost of the jars and lids and
labels--and then the marketing costs involved.... and that's without
costing in your labor...

Well, yes, there are those other costs, but having the fruit for free would
make a big difference.
