You must buy a LOT of produce to spend $100/week.
“You must buy a LOT of produce to spend $100/week.”
No kidding! Based on the amount of vegetables my two kids ate when they were young and living at home, a garden would’ve saved me about $10 a month :).
Tomatoes are about two bucks each. Sweet peppers are about a buck fifty, cucumbers seventy-five cents each , green onions about a dollar a bunch. Lettuce is about a dollar sixty, mushrooms five bucks a pound, carrots a dollar a pound.
So a salad for a family of four is, two heads of lettuce, two tomatoes, a pepper, a cucumber, bunch of onions, quarter pound of mushrooms, and a carrot.
About twelve dollars for a basic salad.
That really adds up quickly.
