Bountiful Baskets

We picked up our first order today from Bountiful Baskets and are very pleased.  My brother turned me onto this Co-Op that pools money to buy fruits and vegetables at greatly reduced prices.  They bypass supermarkets and go direct to the suppliers to get great deals.  It is always a mystery as to what you will get, but that is one of the most fun and appealing aspects of it.  You may get something you have never tried before, and may not have picked out for yourself at the supermarket.  Pictured is the standard package, plus the items on the far left are an added Mexican ingredients package that we got.  It had cilantro, jalapenos, limes, garlic, mexican squash, dried red peppers and chipotle, and onions.  The tortillas are half of the package my brother bought.  We figured neither family could eat them all so we split them.  We got all of this for about $25-$30.  I'm already wondering what they will have in store for us two weeks from now.
Everyone gets a basket of veggies and one of fruit.

very cool. What a great program, and I bet since they're around, you eat more of the good stuff ;-)

You've got that right. I sat down and had a snack of blueberries yesterday afternoon. Never woulda thought that would happen. LOL
