Brittney, I think she was talking about the prices that I listed.

For example, here's a circular to a local IGA. It's one of the cheapest places to get meat. We have 5 adults living in our home and normally we have a few grandchildren over, so we have to buy in bulk. We'll get 5-10 lbs of hamburger at a time (which can knock the price down to $1.50/lb if you find the right person).

Food Lion had a huge sale on pork shoulders in 15 lb packs a while back for $.69/lb. We got 3 of them and slicked them up into pork chops and froze them. These were the best pork chops we'd ever had.

Brittney, TWF is correct, I was commenting on her post. I also use Angel Food. It's been a real life safer when someone who shall remain nameless thinks child support is elective and not mandatory.

Aww, poo. I was mainly interested in the fruit and veggie box. Maybe I should stick with my local farmer's market for that stuff. Has anyone else noticed the fruit and veggies aren't the best?

 

[chin_gal]

Woops, sorry! I misunderstood.

Essentia: Well, on the bright side we only ordered it once. It could have just been that box. The stuff in it that wasn't bad though was still of decent qualitiy. Just nothing to write home about.

I have had good experiences with the produce. I don't care for the red or green apples though as I like Fuji, Braeburn and granny smiths so I give the apples to the deer in my back yard. So far they aren't complaining!

The Christmas box of fruit was outstanding. It had oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, four kinds of apples, pears. It was really, really good. Produce in SD is awful. If you're lucky you might find a tomato that has taste or a pear that you can't break a brick with. So it was really nice to have some good fresh fruit in the house.

I have had good luck with the fruit and veggies. All of us like a different type of apple, so that helps with what they offer. They do tend to throw in onions and sweet potatoes a lot, which isn't a big deal here. One bag of onions would probably last us a year, but I know a lot of people cook with them so it makes sense.

Mmmm...onions. We can never have enough in this house. Sweet potatoes though? Blech. I have a neighbor though who is in love with them, so they won't go to waste.

OMG we go through 6 sweet onions a week here lol! I'm a snobby onion person. We will only do sweet onions, vidalia, walla-walla, Texas sweet 1015 or Peruvian. I give the freeze dried yellow onions to the neighbor upstairs. And I LOVE baked sweet potatoes and also using sweet potatoes in corn chowder so they never go to waste lol! February's produce looks good, apples, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, plums and cabbage! I wish you got more than one head lol! We are big cabbage eaters here too!

If only I could get a whole box of sweet potatoes. Both the ratties and I love them. :dance3:

I can't remember the last time I bought an onion.

Huh - Expect a package then.............

Don't use the cabbage either Laurie. Wouldn't begin to know what to do with it. That goes to mom and she does her weird cabbage things with it.

 

[Laurie]

What? Why am I coming to visit you? We're obviously not eating anything with onions or cabbage LOL! Here we drive around behind the cabbage trucks hoping a few will fall! Stuffed Cabbage, cabbage and onion stir fry, coleslaw--reubens the list goes on and on and on!
