It may not always be better than the grocery store loss leader items but over the long run it will probably provide more variety at a cheaper price than grocery store produce.Crystal J.

We have a family of three and a budget of $225 for the month. $125 is set aside for staples, household goods, etc. and $25 per week is set aside for sale and fresh items. In the beginning, it was a little tough buying in bulk and staying within budget. Not to be swayed, I kept with the formula and within three months of setting aside the budgeted amount, it has worked beautifully. Now we have a little to tuck away in savings each month! Thanks so much for your guidance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761770527911636718.post-23763774779623129502011-04-04T15:27:19.511-05:002011-04-04T15:27:19.511-05:00do you guys have 'bountiful baskets' in yo...do you guys have 'bountiful baskets' in your area? what do you think of that idea? Part of me likes the idea of being surprised w/what produce you get (20-25 lbs for $15), but part of me thinks I should just stick w/the grocery store & choosing my own produce.Rob and Marseillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13723166385445493627noreply@blogger.com
