Finding Fruits and Vegetables for a Steal

Fresh fruit and vegetables can be very expensive! And that is discouraging. A friend about 1 1/2 years ago introduced me to Marketon. A small Mexican style grocery store in Reno.

As you can see by the above ad, you can score great deals on fruits and vegetables. Yesterday, I bought 6 bell peppers, 2 bunches of cilantro, 8 avocados, 1 jicama, 2 bunches of kale, over 3 lbs. of nectarines and peaches, over 2 lbs. of pears, 2 1/2 lbs of pickling cucumbers, 1 bunch of radishes, 3 lbs of red potatoes and 8 ears of corn for $16.91.

Pickling cucumbers...Going to try my hand at homemade pickles. :)

Ears of corn...Well, those are already gone - dinner last night!

Kale...Not familiar with it? Bake it sprinkled with olive oil and sea salt for 8 min. My kids devour it and it is full of good stuff!

Peaches...I have been waiting for you all winter!

Green bell peppers...on the menu - Stuffed Green Pepper Soup!

Jicama...Excited to introduce it to my kids. Cut it up and it is great on a salad.

1. I can buy affordable fruits and vegetables ALL year round.

2. They offer different sale items every week so we have good variety.

3. They offer items I normally would not purchase. We can expand the variety of foods we use.

I encourage you to check around your city and see if you can find a little market like this. Branch out and you may be surprised!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27
