Where to buy medjool dates

Hi Hounds- I was wondering where it's best to buy Medjool dates at a good price? The inexpensive ones are frequently dried out, the plump ones are expensive. Any tips?

    Fairway usually has good ones for about $8/lb. and Kalustyan's is a reliable source but theirs are more expensive.

    the ones from Trader Joe's are hit or miss, but certainly the best price i've seen at $3.99/lb.

    some of the best i've had were from NutsOnline, and their shipping is super-fast to NYC because the warehouse is in NJ - if you order tomorrow morning you'll most likely receive them on Tuesday.
