Our Costcos here never seem to have fresh looking cherries. I have looked
several times because the price was good but they were all soft and
wrinkled. I think where I did buy them was Winco. And they were good but
not large sized.

Last time I was there I bought two boxes of strawberries as they changed the
assortment of fruits in their fruit bowl to mainly things that won't get
eaten here. The strawberries were no good. The ones that are technically
edible are very sour. And one box was loaded with mildewed ones right in
the middle. Of course you could not tell this because the ones on the
outside all looked good.
