We love to have these mandarins available at home. My son loves them. My hubby loves them. It is seedless, sweet and easy to peel. They look shiny because they are coated with foodgrade vegetable, beewax and/or lac-resin based wax or resin to maintain freshness. We don’t eat the skin anyway. This box weighs 5lbs and if they are not on sale, they are between $6.99-$9.99 per box, depending where you buy.

But this week, I was lucky to get them on sale at Vons for $3.98/box and I used my $1 coupon cut out from the Sunday newspaper and I paid $2.98 for the 5lbs of mandarins. I have another $1 coupon, which I will probably get another box before the sales end coming Tuesday.
