Bountiful Baskets Bounties

Recently I’ve begun ordering baskets from Bountiful Baskets, and have been delighted with the results!

What is Bountiful Baskets?  It’s a nationwide food co-op which includes fresh vegetables, fruit, bread, and other food items weekly (or every two weeks, depending on your location).

Bountiful Baskets is growing by leaps and bounds, with more volunteer-led locations springing up each week.

So, what do you get in the basket?  Basket content changes every week, so there’s always something new to try.  Usually you receive six types of vegetables and six types of fruit.  Here’s this week’s bounty:

1 cantaloupe 1 pineapple 2 mangoes 8 bananas 5 kiwi fruits 8 apples brussels sprouts 2 English cucumbers broccoli 5 hot peppers 3 bell peppers 3-lb. bag of butter gold potatoes 1living butter lettuce (in the    plastic box under the broccoli)

All of the above was $15, plus a handling fee of $1.50.  That,  my friends, is a bargain – have you shopped the produce aisles lately?  I have never had a problem  with the quality of anything I’ve received.  A benefit is that my girls are trying things I would not normally purchase (kiwi, mangoes, fresh pineapple, etc.).

Weekly add-ons are also offered – anything from bread, to organic tomatoes, to granola, to specialty packs.  I added the Asian pack this week:

Bok Choy Napa cabbage 2 yellow onions 1 head garlic 8 water chestnuts 1 bunch scallions 1 celery Thai basil Snow peas Fresh ginger

Price for the Asian pack was $8.50.  Yet another amazing bargain. 

Yummy!
