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!
