Re:Lemonade Cleanse/Fast , Vegetarianism, Veganism? - Produce prices

[Guest guest]

Watch your local grocery sales paper each week. There are always produce

items on sale. I write out a shopping list for items on sale at each store

that I want and make the rounds all the same outing on one day. It doesn't

take long at all if you have you list made out ahead of time. I save a ton

this way. Stock up on staples this way also. Also shop local produce stands

and farmers markets. They have great prices. I don't find veggies, other

than things like artichokes, asparagus, etc.. to be that bad in price and

those I specifically look and buy only when on sale or at Sam's Club. Sam's

Club has great prices for produces too.... Grow some veggies in your garden or

in pots if you have no area to put in a garden. Use the

www.squarefootgardening.com method for a super easy, high yeild garden and

only takes a small area. You can even make a raised handicapp garden using

this method. How-to's are on the website.

 

My mom loves to stop at places where they have huge fields of produce or fruit

tree orchards. She knocks on the door of the house right beside it and 9 times

out of 10 they let her pick a box full of what ever they grow for about 1/2 or

less of the price that it is in stores. Grocery stores will give you banana

boxes for free to use for this or the bakery dept will also give you 5 gallon

buckets for free. They get frosting in them to use on cakes they make and

always have an abundance.

 

 

Also click on this http://www.pickyourown.org/ It gives you sites where

you can go and pick your own produce and it is a lot less expensive. There are

plenty of places in every state, if you click on them as well as in many other

countries around the world. This site will tell you where they are and their

info.

 

Enjoy those fresh veggies and fruit,
