Fresh Produce for Less!

We all want to feed our families lots of fruits and vegetables, but it can be very expensive. Amber Rex told me about a local co-op where a group of people pool their money to get fresh fruits and vegetables. I did it for the first time last week and got 3 tomatoes, 3 avocados, a head of romaine lettuce, a bag of carrots, a bunch of bananas, a cantaloupe, a bag of green beans, a bunch of broccoli, a bag of grapes, a bag of cherries, a bag of peaches, and a bag of plums. The cost? $16.50. You can check it out at www.bountifulbaskets.org . I picked up all of my fruits and vegetables at the Spotted Leaf Park (in the Willow's neighborhood) at 7 a.m. on Saturday morning. Be sure to take a large bag or laundry basket to pick up your items. You have to order the produce by the preceeding Wednesday. Hope it helps your family as much as it's helped mine!
