Lets take a look at what $15.00 got me in fruits and veggies.
This had 1 bunch of romaine lettuce, 1 head of cabbage, 4 tomatoes, 6 bell peppers, 4 onions, 7 apples, 3lbs of red potatoes, 7 oranges, 1 bunch of asparagus, 1 container of blueberries, and a huge bunch of green beans. All of this for only $15.00!
But even with such a great deal of the conventional basket, the biggest deal was the tropical pack.
Lets see what came with the $10.50 tropical pack.
It came with 2 mango's, 1 green plantain, 6 kiwis, 4 lemons, 1 coconut, 1 pineapple, 1 large bunch of mint, and 2 vanilla beans. This is such a great deal with just one of the items: vanilla beans. In their vanilla bean pod form they are expensive any where you go. I was at the local grocery store tonight and decided to see the cost of just the vanilla bean.
That is right $11.39 for vanilla beans.... correct that for a single vanilla bean. With bountiful baskets just for one single ingredient saved me at least $12.28 and that doesn't even include the other items that came with the tropical pack.
Bountiful Baskets is such a great deal for everyone and anyone that loves saving money and eating great fruits and veggies!
I have been participating since May of last year. My favorite was the cases of peaches over the summer. Also love the cases of strawberries, too. I love making homemade jams and being able to control the sugar content. My kids have been raised eating lots of fruits and veggies, and prefer them to junk food. I believe the foods you feed your kids when they are small are what they stick with as adults, good or bad.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great way to control what your kids eat. I just posted a recipe of a marmalade that has minimal sugar and its great for kids and people that have diabetes.
