A box of winter strawberries cost as much as $70+ depending on the size, shape and growers production. No where else in the world can consumers pay as much. When it comes to cloths Europeans pay obsessive amounts for shoes, bags and accessories. I won’t remind anyone who shops at Chanel,Gucci, Prada, Hermes of Miu Miu. These strawberries are huge by any standards, (see the 50 Yen coin), and the taste is sweet and balanced.
