Becks in Elk River. they got pickles but no DILL.........so i'd bet if you have dill you could get pickles...the cooler she took them out of seemed full.  call and find out.........

1/2 bushel was $50.00. think last year was $46.00.  the smaller 3-4 inch pickles are usually more spendy, but they are the ones i want. my cukes arent even close to flowering yet. but i dont use mine for canning.

I don't mind regular dill spears in my BM, but I usually put a little of the juice on top of the mix too. I like some horseradish & a couple of shakes of some Tabasco as well. But we usually have a jar of these around too...............https://www.walmart.com/ip/Famous-Dave-s-Sweet-N-Spicy-Pickle-Spears-24-fl-oz-Jar/20850661?ad............. mainly just for our BMs.
