[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you spend $50 on two days' worth of produce?[/quote]

Easy if they are juicing.

Even if they aren't, we are feeding an additional adult (relative house guest, too) breakfast and dinner right now. She's a vegetarian and makes smoothies every morning. It's a whole package of spinach or kale each time, plus various fruits. She also plows through berries. If I make a nice protein, grain, and greens salad, she'll dump an entire $4 container of raspberries in her bowl. If I make pancakes, she has to have blueberries in hers and puts almost a handful in each pancake. I have a tween so I want to make sure my child gets fresh fruit and veggies every day. No money has been offered and I'm not sure we would accept it. But we would be happy if she simply bought her own additional produce which we would not touch. we didn't buy any berries today. We did buy a lot of apples, plums, and bananas. There's always canned peaches (in 100% juice) as well which I can attest, are great on salads and in smoothies.

The relatives should offer money or buy their own produce. I agree that Aldi's is the best value, but Shoppers is also a good buy. And most international grocery stores have greens and tropical fruit for stunningly low prices. Leave them a couple reusable bags and a map to the farmer's market if you must.[/quote]

I remember watching my 17-year-old nephew pop blueberries and raspberries like candy. He could go through 3 or 4 packs without thinking.

Smoothies should be made with frozen fruit. WAY cheaper.[/quote]

This irritated me more than the grandparents for some reason. Are people so greedy they just eat massive quantities of things?[/quote]
