I sweated blood over this. I'm not great at maths at the best of times. *

I worked it out from prices at the supermarket I work in, because it has the best organic selection in the town I live in. It's not the cheapest by any means, but would be your best bet for your shop.
Where I had to source elsewhere/ cannot compute, I have noted it.

Soft fruit is completely out of season here, so it has to be flown in; you will not get any deal on it unless you are buying on the expiry date. Calculating pints of fruit had me tearing my hair out, but I think I found a reasonable comparison. What a difference in price though.

* ETA - I've converted Imperial to metric and calculated the prices from there.
In some cases it would not be possible to buy in these exact quantities; soft fruit is only ever available pre-packed for example, except on Pick Your Own farms.
