So let me summarize: In order to prove me wrong, you post a link to costco
proving my point about the cost/pound (fwiw, they are cheaper in my costco), I
break down the cost per pound showing that there's no way costco or your store
apple packages are cheaper than whole apples and then you refuse to admit I was
correct?

At least I had the courtesy to congratulate you when you found a mistake in some
of my posts
