Ten Dollor Watermelon  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit 2 years ago

I went to a bigger grocery than i usually go to yesterday because i wanted to get some ground turkey that my usual grocery doesn't carry. I went to the produce first, can't resist fresh things & they had one watermelon there w/a $10 price tag, OMGOSH!! i KNOW WATERMELONS are not in season here but ten dollors. Needless to say i did not buy it but just wondered if y'all have ever seen one for such a high price. I love watermelon but think i'll wait till they get cheaper. How about u? would u pay $10 for one?

no, but I don't know HOW my mom used to get a whole one and cut it up for the fridge, I guess with 3 kids we ate it fast enough, but still, I wouldn't have ROOM for a whole one!


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

Good morning Elic,thanks for your response, I can nearly always get a watermelon in my fridge since i'm the only one who is here. What i do after i cut one I take it all out if the rine & put it in a tupperware bowl & it doesn't take up so much room. I LOVE THEM.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24681)  2 years ago

my roomie does that, or buys it that way, but I find that it loses flavor that way - that's just me tho...


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

I really like them the best when they are first cut but i don't waste food so that's the way i do to.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24681)  2 years ago

I try to leave them in the rind so they don't drain as bad - mom used to do that

I buy a half a watermelon or even a quarter. Halves are sold almost everywhere. I ask for the quarter. Usually the fruit guy will say yes right away, sometimes I have to convince him. I just say, well if I want a quarter, surely someone else will also. I'm not the only person who shops for one. They do it for me.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

Hi CatLady, thanks for your comment. It's nice of the produce guy to do that. I like it when people are accomodating, Have a great night.

That is too much Antiqueladyw00t. I will never buy a watermelon for the price of $10 no matter how sweet it is or big it is. I am just blessed that here in our country it is really the season for watermelons and it just cost for only $3 the biggest size and it is very sweet.

Probably if that would be in season in your country, it would cost the same or is it? It is also the season of fruits like mangoes and Spanish plums here. One kilo of green mangoes that we call Indian mango( not related to India's mangoes) are 20pesos a kilo or .43 cents same as for the Spanish plums.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

i AGREE THAT IS WAAAAAAY TOO MUCH. i WISH THEY WERE IN SEASON HERE, I LOVE THEM. One slice at the grocery was $3 yesterday. I don't think i ever paid $3 for onr last year more like $5. Honegrown fruit sounds so good but it will be quite awhile before we have any here. Thanks for your response.Hope u have a nice day.

Ni my friend I would NOT pay $10 for a watermelon even if it was one of those nice seedless ones. I love watermelon and last year they never did decrease in price to what it was the previous year. What gets me is how the stores here have a big sign over the oranges SALE 10 fo $10!shocked. Thats a dollar for one dang orange, no wondor fast food places are so popular with those on a budget. If a cheeseburger is 89cents and you are hungry that cheeseburger will make you full more than an orange! Tomatos here are $2.98 a pound right now!


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

I thought it was outrageous in price & can't believe anyone would pay that for one. They would have to have more money than me to do it, lol. I don't think i'd pay that if i had alot of money.It's a shame they can get the high dollor they do for things at the grocery. I bet if people would boycott some things the prices might go down but people want stick together & do that. Tomatoes are another one of my faves & they are sky high here to. Thanks for respoding.Have a happy day.

Watermelons are in abundance here. It grows well in this country so it is available everyday in the market at dirt cheap prices too. $10US comes to be about RM38 is far too expensive for our standard here. For that amount we are able to get few water melons for a week consumption.lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

Good morning Zandi, i have bought alot of watermelons in my time but never have seen such a price of that on one. I don't believe i'd ever pay that for one even tho i do love them. Thanks for responding.

For me no, $10 for a watermelon its very expensive.. here in my town u can already buy atleast 3 or 4 watermelons.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

Thanks for your response. I would love to have a good piece of cold watermelon but i want pay that for one. Hopefully when the farmer's market starts here later on they will habe a better price.


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35328)   ranked 5 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

I was wondering if you had access to a Farmer's Market. The prices usually are more reasonable.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

Yes, we have a good farmer's market & everything there is locally grown. They want let any vendor sell unless it's grown in the vacinity. Of course it doesn't last but a few months but i really love going.I'll be glad when it starts. Happy thursday.

That is a lot. I would never pay that much for one. Then again, if you would consider how much it would cost if you buy the sliced watermelon that they do, it is probably close. I will wait.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

Good morning Rob, i will wait to. I thought that to be an awful price. I will be glad when they are season here but that's going to be quite awhile. Happy days to u. Hope things are good w/u.

Not sure where those watermellon's come from but there was a sign in Wendy's when we went the other day that becasue of the frost and the tomatoes they would only be served upon request.
I have seen watermellon sold by the pound and have wondered how much that would come to. I wouldn't pay that much for one. I do the same as you, cut it and put it in a bowl. The last one I did I paid $3or 4 for and it was a little one and tasted horrible!!! Think the raccoons got it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 11 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

Good morning, They should have gold in them for that price, lol. I saw the same thing at wendy's here. Met a friend for lunch & i was getting a salad & questioned whether it would have tomatoes on it. It did , about 3 of those little bitty ones. Thanks for your response.
