Have to admit I’ve been buying strawberries at $4.99 per pound locally. Expensive, but they have been really good.

One should never buy produce that is traditionally out of season if you want to save money. It’s always going to be more expensive. For example, apples and oranges are usually reasonable this time of year. Peaches and nectarines usually aren’t. About the only time there is a reduction in price for out-of-season produce is when the stores can’t sell them.

And better for you, too.

A long time ago, we didn’t have fresh produce available during the winter and we made it through just fine.

I buy whole chickens for .79 a pound. You can get boneless rib-eye steak for $2.99 a pound.

But tomatoes are over $2# and lettuce $1.50 a small head.

Meat is far cheaper than fresh veggies here in Michigan, even local grown in season.
