Bountiful Baskets

I'm super excited about my collection of fruits and veges this week. I get all of this stuff through a food co-op called bountiful baskets. It's all volunteer based and non-profit, so all the savings go to the consumers. They do ask that you do help out with the volunteer side, but they aren't super strict about it. I've even heard that if you are volunteering at least 2 hours a month in your community that it counts. With my MOPS group hours and Church, I meet that easily.
You get different fruits and vegetables each time, which is kind of fun to try things I might not buy in the store. The location in Utah County is in Springville, which is kind of a bummer drive on Saturday morning, but they are looking for a North County location right now. For more info on it, here is the web page.

Anyway here is my loot, I got all of this for $15 pretty cheap.
2 bags of carrots
head of Romaine lettuce
head of broccoli
4 red onions
bunch of spinach
lunch bag bursting full of red potatoes
head of cauliflower-(green variety, it's a cross between broccoli and cauliflower)
10 apples
12 Roma tomatoes
8 oranges
1 melon
8 lemons
13 bananas

Really?



I got this cool calendar for Christmas with a spot for each person's activities, super cool!! But, I just have to laugh at the attached pocket that says, "use this handy storage pocket for coupons, notes, stray $100 bills!!!! OK, maybe I'm poor, OK I am poor, but really who keeps stray $100 dollar bills in their calender. And why are we calling them stray! If anyone has stray $100 dollar bills, I can give them a big loving home in my purse.
