[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this post for real? How do people afford so many fresh fruits and vegetables? I feel good if I can buy 3 types of fruit each week and enough vegetables to make a few salads.[/quote]

Where do you shop? I don't shop at Whole Foods and I don't always buy organic so that helps. Aldi is a good option. I also try to buy fruit that's on sale so we usually have apples, oranges in the winter and bananas. Then I get fruit on sale. Spinach I get a big tub for $4 and use that all week. I also buy frozen vegetables like peas or frozen spinach.[/quote]

I think its expensive if you buy a whole thing of organic strawberries or a big sack of organic oranges. But I buy one or two apples at a time, one orange, one or two kiwi, and bananas at TJ’s are 0.19. Same with vegetables - I often buy a couple zucchini, a small bag of carrots, etc and throw it in soup. Soups and stir fries definitely upped my count this week. [/quote]

I don't know how old your kids are but one apple would last one meal for my kids and my kindergartener would want more than half an apple. Same for one orange. How could that be enough fruit for one family? My kids would eat two apples for breakfast and two kiwis for lunch and would split the orange if I gave them it as well and they're 5 and 3.[/quote]
