Stretch your grocery money - Bountiful Baskets Food Co-Op

This is the food we got last week!!

Finding ways to make your grocery dollars stretch is not easy. But what if I told you that you could buy over $35 worth of fruits and vegetables for only $15?

The idea behind Bountiful Baskets, is a food co-op, where average citizens leverage the power of group buying to purchase fruits and vegetables at wholesale prices.

Basically you pay up front (by Wednesday at 10:00 pm) and they pool all the money, then spend it all where the grocery stores shop. Then volunteers show up an hour before pickup (just show up if you want to help!) to divide up the produce, then all the participants show up and take home their baskets and bread!

In addition to getting produce at a screaming deal, you can order items like bread, or granola or larger boxes of various produce. What you get depends on what is on special or in season that week. Just remember to sign up early each week, as there are only a limited number of spaces open.

In today's economy, we need to do all we can to live frugally. Bountiful Baskets is a great way to make sure your family eats healthy, but still  keeps within your budget. Stop by http://www.BountifulBaskets.org and give it a try.
