Bountiful Baskets

August 14, 2010
We have heard so many good things about Bountiful Baskets that we decided to give it a try this week. It's a food co-op that brings fresh produce to communities throughout Utah (and a whole bunch of other states) for really cheap. Today, Jeff brought home a laundry basket full of goodies:
  • 1 head of lettuce
  • 1 cantaloupe
  • 1 lb. carrots
  • 2-3 lbs. grapes
  • 1 egg plant
  • 1 lb. strawberries
  • 2 lbs. bananas
  • 6 Roma tomatoes
  • 8 pears
  • 8 nectarines
  • 7 ears of corn
  • 9 cucumbers
If you're thinking that's a ton of fresh fruits and veggies, you're right! I'm not sure how we are going to eat all of it this week! It was definitely worth the $15... especially when you consider that the grapes, strawberries, and nectarines alone would cost at least $10 in the grocery store. Despite having a really confusing website, I think we're hooked and will be doing this at least every other week. Maybe it will help counter my Oreo binge.

  1. Correction on the nectarines... they're pluots. I thought they looked weird when Jeff said they were nectarines but why argue?

  2. I was going to ask you if you were sure they were nectarines because my basket came with pluots this week. Pretty cool organization isn't it? I love getting my weekly baskets. :)
