You see all this produce? That’s 90 lbs of it!
It cost me only $35.17!
That’s ridiculously little. Especially since most of it was “specialty” produce that usually goes for much more. Kiwis are generally $1.50 a pound and peppers can be up to $1 a pound, so to get all that for 39 cents a pound is amazing.
So what I got, if it isn’t clear from the picture, is lots of fennel. 2 full shopping bags of it. Lots of apples. 3 shopping bags full, one of red and two of green. 2 bags filled with persimmons, which was really exciting since I love that fruit and it just now came into season so it’s been pricey and I haven’t bought it until now. 2 bags of red peppers, my kids’ favorite vegetable (as long as its raw). A few large bunches of bananas. 4 boxes of kiwis. 3 packages of corn on the cob. And a bunch of pomegranates.
And the best part about it is these are all in perfect condition, not reduced rack quality.
I feel like I have a cornucopia in my fridge, so overflowing now with produce.
I’m not sure yet if I’m going to preserve any of it, since most of what I got will last a decent amount of time and the stuff that don’t last as long, my kids are devouring.
