How To Save Money on Fruits and Veggies

March 26, 2010 by Jan Leasure 1 Comment

Jan Leasure Guest Post: How To Save Money on Fruits and VeggiesIf you want to learn how to save money on fruits and veggies, you’ve come to the right place.  Check out my 6 tips below, and you’ll be saving money in no time!

1.  Comparison shop!  Use your daily papers and conserve gas, but always compare!  Local supermarkets (Jewel, Albertsons, Meier, Dominicks, etc.) may have price variances by community.  Super stores, Walmart, Target, etc. often offer fresh prices for less.  I personally shop for veggies at an ethnic market, Lewis Produce, about 15 minutes from my house. Produce is 40% less and so fresh it should be photographed!

2.  Shop seasonal produce!  Did you realize that if you plan your meals around fruits and veggies that are “in season” they can be 60% less than “off season?”  Use a calendar to remind yourself what is in season each month.

3.  Stay away from the pre-packaged lettuce, salads, etc.  Buy fresh and raw and take two minutes to prepare for serving.

4.  Coupons:  There are coupons for fresh produce, don’t over look them.  They are often available as companion offers.  For example; “Buy Cool Whip, Get a Free pound of Bananas.”  Then look for a coupon for the Cool Whip and make one of these 10 easy Cool Whip desserts!

5.  Frozen:   Don’t overlook frozen fruits and veggies.  You can comparison shop, use coupons, and store them for later use.  Frozen produce is still nutritious.

6.  Leftovers:  Always reserve the leftovers for later.  Left over veggies are great for soup, use fresh left over fruits for smoothies tomorrow!

    These are great tips!
    Fruits and veggies are the best snack choices, and it’s always important to shop that section first when you’re in the supermarket.
    Another interesting money-saving tip I read recently is to shop small/independent grocery stores in the evening just before they close, and ask the manager if he’s planning to throw out any produce that’s nearing its “sell by” date. You can sometimes get these items deeply discount or even for free!
