Answer: he average retail price of grapes is $2.09 per pound, according to United States Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, with most bags weighing in around two pounds. That's where it's easy to get tricked: Grapes for $3.99 per pound don't sound so bad, but a 2.5-pound bag would set you back nearly $10.
