I purchased six huge red mangoes ( imported from Mexico) yesterday. It was on sale for only 99c each at my favorite grocery store (Food Mart). Safeway and other stores sells it for $1.29 to $1.49 each.
I eat one today. It was luscious and sweet( not as sweet as Philippines Guimaras mangoes), but worth the 99c I paid for each. You could only buy this variety of mangoes on certain months of the year here in Northern California. Other varieties are available almost all year round. For some reason Food Mart does not carry Philippine mangoes. However, I could buy Philippine mangoes from our local Filipino grocery store about 30 minutes drive without traffic.
Some of the popular mango varieties are in the two following photos:
