60 cents a pound is more like it!

Guest, thanks for letting us know the cost-saving U-pick farms still exist. Like I said, if you are looking for a bargain, you'll have to search out a non-cute farm farther away from the big cities. There are plenty in the Chicago area that charge less than the one I visited -- many charge $1 a pound for apples -- but that's still not actually a savings.

Lindsey -- I grew up so looking forward to our annual visit to the pumpkin farm, but they only charged for the pumpkins back then and of course the whole place was simpler. The last few years my father has grown pumpkins for my daughters, which I just love, and not just because it's frugal.
