Overall, this weeks sales are GREAT!
Most of the produce on my list this week have great prices (with the exception of the cauliflower - it's a decent price).
There are a couple of great sales this week:
If you're wondering why the list is a bit short this week, you might want to read my "Lack of Weekly Sales Lists but a CSA!" post.
Recipe/Meal Ideas for this week's "sales":
Note: To rehydrate figs, fill a pot 1/4 to 1/3 full with water and boil. Remove boiling water from heat and add dried figs. Cover and let stand 2-4 hours. They will be plump and look fresh!
Also, I'd be remiss if I forgot to mention this week's 'Top 3' items needed most at the North Bay Food Bank (copied from their Facebook Post):
So while you're out shopping this week, purchase an extra item to put in the Food Bank donation bins located at the exits of most grocery stores and help out someone in need!
Happy Saving!
Most of the produce on my list this week have great prices (with the exception of the cauliflower - it's a decent price).
There are a couple of great sales this week:
- Cherries are on sale for $1.88/lb which is an amazing price. Anything under $2.00/lb is good! Gotta love cherry season!
- Watermelons are $2.97 (for 11lbs or so) which is the price we buy ours at. They store well for a couple of weeks at room temperature (cool is best - but not too cool), but anything longer than that will cause them to get grainy and possibly rot (and end up dripping onto and ruining your carpet and making the entire house smell awful...).
