So, I found a way to save money on produce! I can coupon all day but you rarely find any for fresh produce. Why is it so expensive to eat healthy?!? Anywho...
Here in Atlanta we have a company called Farmer's Market Baskets that goes to the state farmer's market and brings back truck loads of fresh local fruits and veggies. Then you can purchase the premade baskets from them for $10-$15.
It's really an excellent deal! I purchased my first small basket today and here are the contents
I will probably upgrade to a Regular basket for next time and see how that lasts in my house and then decide from there which to use regularly. They have a website that allows you to handle everything online. You can choose to pick up a basket every week, every other week or as needed. You can also place a special order for certain items that vary each week. Then you can go to their warehouse or various other locations in the area to pick up your basket. The other locations cost a little more but it's only a couple of dollars.
I first heard about them last year and I cannot believe that it has taken me this long to jump on the bandwagon! So Farmer's Market Baskets work for me! Visit WFMW at We Are THAT Family for hundreds of other posts.
While I have you here can I ask a favor? I entered my daughter in a Cutest Kids contest to win a $150 gift card to the local consignment sale here in my area. She's in 5th place but has to be in 1st to win and voting ends on Sunday. So, if you don't mind helping a girl out... click HERE and this will take you to the Facebook page for the contest. You have to click on the green VOTE button and then click on the allow button for the app if it pops up. It will also ask you if you want to share it on your wall and I don't mind if you do. It will just show her pic to all of your friends and maybe they will vote for her too! I will forever love all of you and will vote for anything and everything your children do! Here she is... Isn't she just adorable?!?!

YAY you're doing the baskets!! I love getting mine weekly. It totally makes us eat a bigger variety of veggies.
And yes, she is ADORABLE!!
Yep, we started this week. I think I'm going to try the regular size next week so that I can compare them and see which works better for us.
