Herr Frugal must be on a veggie kick. As the weekend is hier, it's time for our weekly grocery shop. We will be going to the big bulk store the bulk items and household staples. Fruits and Veggies are purchased through produce stands or farmer's market.....fresher and less expensive.
In addition, some of the produce is locally grown thus reducing the excess waste in energy. Nothing like purchasing strawberry's that were picked two weeks ago in California, when we have Plant City less than 50 miles away!
Take your family out this weekend or next to go to 'u-pick' farm. A couple of weeks ago we found ourselves at a bleu-berry farm. Absolutely organically delicious! Frau Frugal and I have been enjoying blueberries in our lunch for the past week. Easy to pick, eat and we supported the local farmer.
A great site to find a farm near you: http://www.pickyourown.org/
Found this article that speaks volumes for the markets. Enjoy!
