Farmer’s market haul

August 21, 2008

Nothing new today – just repeats of previous good stuff.  I did, however, note how much I paid for everything; all this for just $21!

  • 1/2 dozen ears of corn, $3
  • pint basket of edamame, $3.33
  • quart basket of french beans, $3.33
  • 2 summer squash and 3 zucchini, $3.33
  • 3L basket of peaches, $8

Although it has seemed decadent to go to the market and spend $30 just on fruits and veggies, the odd thing is that going to the market means we don’t have to go buy groceries.  We go through milk so quickly we buy it at the corner store, without triggering a trip.  In fact, I just checked our VISA card transactions, and we’ve gone to the grocery store only twice this month, and spent just $55.09 between the two trips.  That’s pretty amazing, considering how often I normally go when I’m at home.  I guess with eggs from the market and meat from the freezer, everything else is taken care.
