Local fruit/veggie stands are fantastic, sometimes better bargains than buying bulk in the big warehouse stores - plus I only get what'll be consumed b4 spoiling. Our local farmer's market also provides food/supplies to local restaurants in bulk @ great prices. Periodically, I'll go w my family/bf to our local farmer's market, buy fresh goods in bulk, then we divvy the massive amount amongst ourselves. I also tailor meals throughout the week referencing the specials in the weekly circular from our local grocers.

Fresh veggies and fruits at the farmer's market is a no brainer!! I for one buy a lot of canned tuna/chicken/salmon. They are really cheap and easy for lunch. That way I can utilize my leftovers for another nights dinner as opposed to lunch. I do take leftovers to lunch on occasion, but if money is tight the more I can stretch my dinner choices the better. Beans are also a cheap and versatile purchase!!

* In season vegetables and veggies on sale. Always a bargain * Visit your local farmer's market for fresh produce at a good price * If I have to buy a lot of a speciality ingredient for a recipe try to bake something else using those ingredients as well so you don't waste anything.

Buying whatever products I can in bulk & buying my produce in season to avoid mark ups on products shipped in.

I find that planning meals, picking out recipes with my daughter, shopping for those items only and sticking to it helps with my time management and budget. I try to shop local with all the farmer's markets around. Prepping food in advance and freezing also helps.

I live in an agriculturally rich area in the central California where delicious fresh fruits and vegetables are readily available at the local farmers markets. Because of theabundance, I am able to save money by purchasing whatever fruits and veggies are in season. We're at the tail end of grape season and plums and peaches and nectarines are still being harvested. Sweet corn and green beans are also plentiful and too many others to name. By purchasing what produce is in season I can save money and support the local farmers.
