Bountiful Baskets

I am so excited about this. My friend, Shayla, posted about this and I had to try it out. Turns out, it rocks!

The site is bountifulbaskets.org. You pay $15.00 for a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables. I'm talking basket as in a laundry basket, cooler, or big box. Because you bring home a lot. There are certain sites all over and specific pick up times about every other Saturday.

Your basket contains 50% fruit and 50% vegetables. Check it out...

3# bag of pears

1# pkg of strawberries

8 apples

3 mangos

7 oranges

6 bananas

8 red onions

1 spaghetti squash

4 tomatoes

1 orange pepper

1 head of broccoli

1 head of lettuce (the nice leafy green kind)

5# bag of potatoes

I already used a red onion, 2 tomatoes, the orange pepper (which I'd never bought before because they were always much more expensive. It had a fantastic flavor), and the spaghetti squash (which I'd also never purchased before and likewise had never cooked before. It wasn't as juicy and yummy as Mom's and Grandma's used to be, but sufficed for my first time. Even though I like cooking, I am still in training) for dinner tonight. My whole family is already loving it. Well, technically Nathan could care less. But, Corey and I are way excited.

You should look into this and see if there is a pickup location near you. They are in Utah, Arizona, Idaho, and Washington.

Just think about the money you'd be saving and they are FRESH. Not frozen.
