So here's this weeks price list for Albert's Organics. It seems kind of pricey, except bananas.

http://www.unitedbuyingclubs.com/ALBERTS/producelist.aspx?PricelistID=692

Let me know how the prices compare and if yours are cheaper where do you shop? I know we've talked about this before but any updates? I know you used to go to Freshpoint? What is available there and prices if so?

thanks!!!
