[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can commiserate. We spend at least that on fruit and veggies. My kids are picky eaters but they will always eat fruit so I stock up. I think of it as an “investment” in their health at this point![/quote]

Op here. That is how I am looking at it too - investment in health for the future. 
I like someone saying "grow your own vegetables". I am not into gardening but may have to get into it. With job scenarios being so bad, the biggest worry for me is not being able to afford basic food items. [/quote]
Grow vegetables that give you the most bang for the buck: tomatoes, peppers (not bells), eggplants, cukes, okra. I’ve had bad luck with zucchini[b] as the plants get destroyed by vine borers [/b]but if you can grow that it’s very prolific. Herbs are very easy too.
 And don’t get caught into all those fancy gizmos if you decide to garden. You don’t need much to get started.[/quote]

Yeah it just takes a bad instance with pests or birds and it's all worthless.

OP, frozen vegetables are a good option. Have you tried that for the vegetables that are excellent (and sometimes better) frozen?[/quote]
