No joke. I'd sell them for that all day long.
-
Pickers are getting paid 0.75/lb right now. I'm selling wholesale for 8.95/lb. That there's a good profit. But your alternative is to go out yourselves and pick. Sometimes that's more expensive.

I saw a guy on the side of the road selling them for $5 a pound. I would have thought store prices would be much lower with the amount of mushrooms around right now.

They have a lot of shrink, up to 5-10% every day. They also spoil fast and dry out faster in those coolers with the air flowing around them. Charging $19 means they're only making $1-2/lb when all is said and done.

It's a bumper year for my spot, lots and lots of them. I wonder how quickly they sell at that price tho. Not to mention a pound cooked down and sauteed or in a cream sauce isn't really that much.

I seen them at Carpinitos in Kent and Foleys in Maple Valley both at $7 a pound.

Yep, headed down this weekend to Carpinitos to pick up 40 lbs. cheaper than taking a few days off work to go pick them.
