For months now, some of my friends have been getting involved in this co-op called Bountiful Baskets. Its where you pay 15 dollars and you take a laundry basket to a designated meeting spot on Saturday, and you get it filled with various fruits and veggies at a discounted price. The only draw back is, you get what they give you, so you don't get to pick what kinds of fruits and veggies you get. (Maybe its a bonus because it will force me to eat gross things like cucumbers???) Anyhow, here's our haul this week, for 15 bucks:
I am still debating on whether its a good deal or not. It's a head of green lettuce, one head of spinach, 8 ears of corn, 2 cucumbers, 10 oranges, 2 avocados, 1 cantaloupe, 12 kiwis, 4 onions, 7 tomatoes, and 9 apples. (we already ate two of them before we took the picture)
What do you think?
(but, in all fairness, these are super fresh foods, so they do taste pretty good!)

Nikki and CJ do this too, and they love it... I have been telling everyone I know... We have been splitting a basket sometimes with some friends that are also empty nesters...
Sounds like a good idea to me. I hate Veggies. I'll eat them if someone else cooks them but I don't like to. I'm gonna be the mom who wont force my kids to eat their veggies:) or just my luck they will love veggies and I'll have to cook them all the time.
It seems like a good deal to me.
