I am hoping to skip groceries a week unless I see a really good deal.

Every Saturday night, I take an Amish woman down to a neighboring Amish who sells produce at market.  He sells any leftovers in the evening.  I haven't been able to totally figure out their prices. I was told when I started, it was $.79/lb.  But she doesn't alway weight everything. Like in this picture, she didn't weigh the bananas and the small vegetable container.  For everything, I paid $20.00.  I got bag of carrots, bunch of bananas, 2 yellow and 2 green squash, bag of fresh mushrooms, bag of grapes, head of lettuce, and a fruit tray. The Amish lady, who I haul, always gives me some freshly baked goods.  This week, it was a loaf of bread, plus $5. I picked up an extra lady, so I got $10.  So really, I only paid $10 for my produce. I really enjoy having fresh produce each week.  Plus it is nice getting to know some of my Amish neighbors.
