Bountiful Baskets for RVing Folks too

Bountiful Baskets for RVing Folks too...

What is Bountiful Baskets?
is a not-for-profit food co-op for families that want to have more fresh produce for less money. In order to participate, you must set up a free account on the website.

While living in Spirit Lake, Idaho we'd order every two weeks like clock work. We'd place our order for a basket and then show up to volunteer. It's always been a positive experience.  

So now that we'll be hitting the road. We got to thinking about still keeping our budget down but to also buy healthy. Well?? Hello!! Stay with Bountiful Baskets when we are in an area that offers it (stinks, they do not have any in California). Load up on fresh produce and get to know the local natives too!! Make friends while on our adventure. 

$15.00 basket (actually is 2 baskets - 1 is for fruit and the other is vegetables but is sold as 1 basket), they have add's on and it changes every time. (if you were to buy from a grocery store, the average saving is $15+ dollars) - there is $4 fee (states varies) - but if you get 3 friends to buy in with you, then you can split that cost and save more. 

What I received in our last order:
  

• Asparagus
• Spinach
• Cucumber
• Zucchini
• Peppers
• Potatoes 
• Lettuce
• Broccoli
• Oranges
• Lemon
• Apples

I don’t even have to weigh it and price it out to tell you I definitely saved money. At our local Miller's Food I would have paid at least $40 for all of this.

The only warning I have is if you aren’t into trying things new, you probably won’t enjoy Bountiful Baskets as much as we do. You don’t choose what you get and it’s always random. Like this week I was thrown off by the leeks, but it’s a great opportunity to use these super hearty vegetables in recipes. But if new things freak you out or you’re really picky about what you eat, then you won’t enjoy Bountiful Baskets.

If you think about this too - one Basket is like one meal of going out, so there is the added perk. I so love Bountiful Baskets and yes it will be a challenge while on the road, but when we do come upon one, we are so diving in.
