Last year I went blueberry picking the day before I had to leave for vacation. So I took a quart-size bag of blueberries on the plane with me and ate those the whole way there. 10/10 best plane snack I've ever had!

Please, only plebes go for the pallet.

If you really want to maximize your per berry savings, then you need to buy the dockside warehouse package.

Frozen blueberries are about $15/4#, and don't go bad unless you forget them for several years and they get hideously freezer burned.

Frozen food is processed way closer to where it's grown as opposed to the produce that might be shipped across hemispheres before you get it. So frozen stuff tends to be more consistent in quality.
