Michelle is making kids ask for fruits by making their school meals so bad they will beg for anything except what they are feeding them.
I like fruits, but I seldom buy them in the store.
Apples are a luxury item about a dollar apiece. Oranges are just about as bad and forget Cherries. They are higher than Caviar.
Who can afford fruits?
I shop the specials. The fruits are not expensive in our area when done this way. I also grow my own in the summer and can them myself as well as dehydrating some.
This way I avoid pesticides. We grow a lot of Strawberries. Spinach is something that is very expensive here and the store never has a special. So I just plant a few pots in the fall, and bring them indoors in front of the patio door.
More than enough Spinach for about a dollar.
Sometimes if the fresh produce is very cheap, I buy a bunch and can it at home or dehydrate it. When fresh is not available, I buy frozen fruits and veggies on special.
