How to get the Best Deals on Produce!

I just want to toss around a few simple ways to get more healthy veggies for your buck.

The simplest way, is to find out what is in season. Different fruits 'bloom' at different times, making them much easier to get, hence the lower price.

Watch to see if an item is priced per item or by the pound. You might think it will cost only .99 cents but at the register it may ring up for $3!

Now going a little off of what was just said about price per pound. Always keep in mind how many you are feeding. Fresh fruit and veggies go bad much quicker than canned. So if you are the only one eating carrots for the next week, don't get the 20# bag, unless of course you will eat all those.

Another simple thing to help you save money is learn how to can. It's not very hard at all, but can save you a lot of money. You can either 1. just grow your own food, and save it, or take notice when you're most used produce items go on sale, stock up and can them. Then on their off season you will still be enjoying them at sale prices.
