Bountiful Baskets

Have you heard of Bountiful Baskets? If not, you need to check into seeing if there is a pickup in your area. Look at all the fruits and veggies that I can get for ONLY $16.50!

This is what I picked up this morning:

2 grapefruit (my friend gave me her two so I have four pictured)
8 oranges
5 apples
1 container blueberries
6 large tomatoes
4 onions
1 head cabbage
1 bunch asparagus
1 5lb bag red potatoes
1 bag (abt 2 lbs) green beans (I forgot to put this in the photo)
4 jumbo red peppers
4 medium green peppers
1 bunch romaine lettuce

Do you know how much this would cost if I bought it all at Walmart? I compared prices today.

2 grapefruit @ .54 each = $1.08
8 oranges @ .48 each = $3.84
5 apples@ $1.17 lb = $2.34
1 container blueberries = $2.98
6 large tomatoes@ $1.34 lb = $1.34
4 onions@ .46 lb = $.55
1 head cabbage@ .46 lb = $.70
1 bunch asparagus@ $3.48 lb = $2.61
1 5 lb bag red potatoes = $2.97
1 bag (abt 2 lbs) green bean@ .44 lb = $.88
4 jumbo red peppers@ $1.14 each = $4.56
4 medium green peppers@ .78 each = $3.12
1 bunch romaine lettuce = $1.48

Total $29.10, with tax total would be $30.17.

That is a savings of 45%! Not overly huge, but something. It is over a $10 savings, and that is good for me!

With Bountiful Baskets you never know what you are going to get, but it is always 50% fruit, 50% vegetables. Try it out if it is in your area!
