Saw fresh figs at my local costco!  They were light green/yellow, and I was looking for markings to see what variety they were, and where they were from.  I believe they were from California. An employee asked me if they had to be cooked first!

I think there were 12-18 per package, clear clamshell case, and  about 1 1/2 times the size of a pingpong ball, and I believe the price was about 6-7 bucks. 

First time I've ever seen non-dried figs for sale in Connecticut.

The green ones, "sierra" are quite good, the dark types are more hit-or-miss.  We get them at Meijer and at small fruit markets at this time of year and yes they are from California.

I have seen mission figs in Tony's Fruit Market in chicago suburb around 5.00 for no more than 8 or so. Before retirement a co-worker brought a small round plastic container with them and i was surprised that they decent, kind of made me wonder if i should have gotten a mission fig plant.
I think sometimes how fortunate i am to be able to grow them and enjoy good amount after seeing the price of them at the store. There is one market i saw that also once in a while has dark colored fitg jam in small jars that look good, one day hope to try to make some but i eat them to fast along with just starting to dry some since last season. A forum member was very kind to send me some that his wife and him make and its very good , i like with peanut butter on toast YUM.
Yes i like my peanut butter!!!

I just bought two boxes of black mission. I paid $5 for about 100 figs.

Bass in our parts they would arest you for stealing them at that price!!!

they were too ripe to sell them at 3 for a $1 as they currently sell them at this farmers market. so the guy sold me two boxes of them for $5. I love them when they're too ripe, some were mushy but very sweet.

I guess that shows that I am pretending to be a fig loving person because I had a clam shell case full of eight or none mission like figs for $5.00 (actually $4.99) in my cart for a while but finally I put them back on the shelf because of the price and thinking that I will have my own two fat brebas within two weeks+. Now I feel like going back tomorrow and pick up those figs in the store to make sure I taste some figs this season because something else can get to the brebas on my plants and bad weather can keep the main crop from ripening before frost. Our Zone 5 in the North is not as warm in the summer as Zones 5 to the South.
