Money Saving Tip #139: Visit the Farmer's Market

This Saturday, I took my two older kids to our local farmer's market.  They enjoyed seeing the produce in a true, natural way.  My kids even got to sample some local honey.  I bought 2 acorn squashes, a butternut squash, a jar of homemade grape jam, and a large loaf of apple bread for $9.00.  I promised them we would go back next week for the honey, since I only had $10 cash on me at the time. 

Buying these items full price at our local grocery store would have cost a lot more.  Plus, we get the added bonus of supporting our local community and neighbors.  The food is grown in backyards and away from any pesticides and hormones.
