Yes, I have and, yes, it makes all the difference in the world in terms of flavor. This is the one area of shopping at Whole Foods where I don't mind the 300% price difference between them and other stores. But I won't pay $6.00 for a tiny tray of organic raspberries when I can get the same non-organic quantity for $1.00 at my local "bargain" produce stand. At savings like that I will eagerly ingest all kinds of chemical and second-hand, run-off fertilizers along with my fruits and vegetables.
