I've mentioned Bountiful Baskets a few times in the past few weeks.  I can't get over how much I love being a part of this co-op.  The produce is wonderful, and it saves my family money!  I've also noticed that since I started participating in Bountiful Baskets, my little boy and I are eating so much healthier.  I have a ridiculous sweet tooth, and instead of reaching for candy, I have been eating fruit instead.   And of course, I don't want any of the produce to go to waste, so I am using more veggies in our dinner prep.  The following is how you too can save with Bountiful Baskets.


This was my total haul today and with the $3.50 handling fee, my entire purchase came to $27.  I tried to get a little bit of everything in the photo, but it just wouldn't all fit 🙂  This purchase is a combination of a regular conventional basket with the addition of an Italian themed veggie pack.

 
For this week's conventional basket I paid $15. I received 2 pineapples, 2 avocados, 1 bag of grapes, 1 head of lettuce, 1 large bunch of kale, 1 package of blueberries, 2 zucchinis, 2 cucumbers, 8 bananas, 2 navel oranges,12 potatoes, and 7 tomatoes.  If you can find that amount and variety of farm fresh produce for $15 at your grocery store, then I salute you!
 
 
In addition to the conventional basket, I also ordered the Italian themed veggie pack.  For an additional $8.50 I received: 2 more zucchinis, 2 orange bell peppers, 1 yellow squash, 1 head of garlic, 1 yellow onion, 1 purple onion, 1 package of mushrooms, 1 bunch of parsley, 2 sprigs of rosemary, 2 sprigs of oregano, and 1 sprig of basil.
 
 
Each week that you participate in Bountiful Baskets, you need to purchase at least one conventional basket, which is always $15.  There will also always be the $3.50 handling fee so the minimum total will be $18.50.   
 
I think this value is amazing and the produce is really good quality.  I am so happy that I have found a budget friendly way to have my family eat healthy.
