Bit of an odd one but a great deal. Iceland are currently doing 300g of blueberries for £2.
When they're in season (which isn't now) you might get 150g for £1, but this is a great price for this time of year.
They taste great, my kids can't get enough for them, £2 for 150g in most supermarkets at the moment.

Use frozen. Apart from the fact the finished smoothie will come out better because the frozen berries keep it cold (using just chilled or room temp ingredients will result in a warm smoothie from the heat transfer) frozen also are probably more nutritious.
Frozen berries are frozen very soon after picking, so less nutrients are lost during the transit process. 'Fresh' berries will have lost 50% of their vitamin C within 3 days. Unless you're eating them straight after picking, frozen blueberries will have more nutrients in tact than 'fresh'.
'Fresh' are fine if you want something you can nibble on, but for blending frozen fruit is better.

I think they are in season in a way, because the weather has been a bit messed up. It is just a typical price however and as some say even get them cheaper.
