Bountiful Baskets



Friends have been raving to me about "Bountiful Baskets" -- An organization that provides fruits/vegetables to those who desire... You go to their website, and pre-order by Wednesday for pick up on Saturday. We decided to give it a try since we go through a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables each week. You show up with your basket, and they give you one basket of vegetables, and one of fruit, all for $15.00

For our $15 here is what we got today...

3 Artichokes
4 tomatoes
6 plums
8 granny smith apples
1 basket of raspberries
9 bananas (a staple for our swimmer)
6 pears
head of broccoli
10 lbs of potatoes
1 Head Leaf Lettuce
1 cantaloupe
3 lbs of red grapes
6 baby cucumbers

It was like Christmas -- They have a swap table if you want to swap out something you don't care for. We traded in a couple artichokes for some apples. And, they have extra things you can get each week, this week was a case of pears, or you can always add bread. We thought it was great fun and will probably make it a regular Saturday morning activity! It was quick and easy! Yumm!
