Our "cheap" blueberries

Yesterday we went blueberry picking with the intention of filling our freezer. All winter long Jason and Alanya eat frozen blueberries on cereal and oatmeal and this is the time to stock up on fresh berries dirt cheap. Ran into a bit of a problem though. I had asked Jason if $27 cash was enough, and he said sure based on what they picked last year. Problem was I didn't pick with them last year. Imagine our surprise when the girl weighed our berries and told use we owed $34.

How embarrassing.

So I get in the car to find an ATM, but remember we are in the middle of farm country. I had to drive almost five miles to the nearest one, had to pay a bank fee for a machine that was out of network, had to drive five miles back to find that Jason had bought the kids water bottles since they had picked berries for an hour in the hot sun.... cheap blueberries? I don't think so.
