So yesterday Mariah and I went to collect our first Bountiful Basket. I forgot to take my camera down to the pick up site. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. It seems to be growing by leaps and bounds! Definitely worth looking in to if you want to stretch those dollars! All this was $15 .
There was:
grapes= 2 1/2 #
bananas= 3 1/3 #
plums= 1 1/2 #
apples= 2 1/4 #
blackberries= 5.3 oz.
cantalope= 1
watermelon 1 (personal size)
red onions= 1 1/4 #
tomatoes= 1 1/8 #
carrots= 1 1/4 #
broccoflower= 2 1/4 #
red onions= 1 1/4 #
red leaf lettuce= 1 head
spinach= 1 bunch
I also bought a flat of beautiful black berries. 12 containers, each with 5.3 oz. for $12.
I also decided to get the Italian food basket for $7.50 which had:
mushrooms: 8 oz.
onions 2 large
zuchini 2
eggplant 1
garlic 3 pack
Herb and seasonings including basil, oregano & rosemary.
So if you live in the Phoenix or Tucson area, check out this great opportunity! www.bountifulbaskets.org

WOW - looks yummy!
What a great deal. I'm going to tell Danica about it. Thanks and enjoy!!!
YUMMY! Don't you LOVE fresh produce! Seems to taste so much better. Do you get to pick what you want, or just get what you get when you get there? They have something similar to that here - I haven't joined yet, but now your making me think about it!
They just dole out what they get good deals on. Each time will be a surprise. they do try to use local farmers as much as possible so to help the price, freshness and support the local farmers. I felt like when we used to go pick dinner in the garden to see what we were having!
Looks like a good deal. I was out of town this last weekend, but will have to look into it for the future! Thanks for sharing.
am so jealous. i so wish i lived where they had something like that or a csa. i need more loca produce.
I checked out the website, and signed up but couldn't find the tucson site listed. Is that because I have to wait a bit to order my basket? If you went on the 2nd than the next on will be the 16th? I guess the simplest question would be when are you ordering your next basket?
