Mommy Money Saving Tip: Buy in Season

There are many fruits and vegetables that are cheap all year round....like bananas.  However, some produce only comes cheap when it's in season.  Although we keep certain produce in stock in our home all year, most of the produce makes its rounds based on whether it's in season or not.  This really helps us to keep our grocery bill low but still keep wholesome foods in our home. 

Besides helping you stay within budget, produce that's in season tastes better as well.  This allows you to get the most bang out of your buck.  If you've ever tasted a delicious Georgia peach in season, then you know what I mean when I say you should buy produce according to their seasonal timetable.

What's in season now?  Well, cruciferous veggies like broccoli and cabbage, carrots, celery, greens like collards and spinach, leeks, lettuce, parsnips, pears, sweet potatoes, and turnips are the ones that I'm aware of for this time of year.  Keep your eye out for great deals on these fruits and vegetables to keep your cost low and taste high!
