What’s in Season?

One thing that I’ve heard over and over again is, “Fresh produce is so expensive! I wish there was a coupon for that…” Well, there’s good news and bad news with this. The bad news is, unfortunately, there isn’t a vast abundance of coupons out there for fresh produce. But that’s doesn’t mean there isn’t any! The good news is, as long as you’re smart about it you can purchase some super cheap produce even without coupons! The key is to always buy the fruits & veggies that are in season. That’s it!

Remember to shop at Farmer’s Markets as much as possible to support the hard working farmers in your area. Chances are you’ll get a better price there anyway since all produce is grown locally!
