I cannot buy 4 apples for $1.36 here in my large midwestern city. Actually I looked at bags of apples if you are talking about cheaper apples and buying them in bulk. The cheapest bag of apples, a 5 lb bag, was $4.99, about the same price as a slightly smaller red delicious I quoted. Yes, you do get more apples but generally they are smaller. Also, and this is not meant to be an argumentative comment but rather an observation: many lower income and poverty-level families will not be able to buy in bulk either because they cannot afford to, or because they don't have the room to store all the fruits and veggies in bags.
