If you’ve been following me for any amount of time it’s probably pretty apparent that I love the farmers market. Love it! If you didn’t know, then I’m guessing you do now.

Whenever I make it to the market I try and stretch my money as far as I can making sure I get a wide variety of produce that is organic. Here are finds this week purchased for $21.35.

I purchased:

-cherries, pickling cucumbers, yellow squash, zucchini, corn, tomatillos, tomatoes, ground cherries, and 3 pds of potatoes.

My tips for stretching your money:

-I always walk the entire length of the farmers market before purchasing a single thing. (This might be hard if your market is huge but maybe you could do it in sections)
-Make sure to note the prices of the items you are looking to buy, scoping out what might be the best deal.
-I will usually look for a cheaper by the pound price and avoid the per/unit prices. I like to control how much of something I get.
-If you keep your prices low on most items you can splurge a little on something unexpected.

Have fun! I always love looking at all the colors and the pretty flowers and seeing what’s newly in season. Let me know how you do!
