This summer my goal is to plant some veggies and maybe save a little money. I love fresh garden vegetables. I live on a hill so this is a little more difficult. Last year I tried a tomato plant in a pot on our deck. It grew a few tomatoes but the blossoms would not stay. I was pretty bummed, but decided to learn more and try again. This year I found this great site with all kinds of wonderful tips, and now I am definitely ready to give it another try. The site is from Kraft Brands and is called Home Farming. It has all kinds of great information that can help almost anyone begin a garden at home! Check out the Growing Vegetables at Home section for lots of great tips! I am thinking seriously about trying a raised garden!

I talked about getting more bang for your buck by joining the co-op Bountiful Baskets. This is an amazing co-op where you pay $15 plus a service charge for 50% veggies and 50% fruit. They also have organic offerings at some of their pick up locations which cost $25 plus the service charge. In addition, you can order baked goods and other treats for an additional cost. The ordering times are from Tuesday at 10 am to Wednesday (not sure the exact time here so order early) the week of your pick up. It is a bi-weekly thing so check each week to see when you can order for your location. By the way, there are many locations. I did this two weeks ago, and I was just floored by how many fruits and veggies I got for my $15! Follow the link and read the site for how to register.

We are going to be out of town this weekend so I will not be partaking in the Angel Food Ministries food offerings, but I plan on getting in on it again next month. Check out their site to see how everything works. You pay $30 plus a service fee and get lots of great food. Enough to feed a family of four dinner for a week. We definitely stretched it beyond that week. Angel Food Ministries has been working to help families with food since 1994! Follow the link and look for a location near you!

The Treasure Box is the only food buy that I have not tried. However, I do know that one of their pick up locations is Calvary Chapel in Phoenix. Get more details at their site as well as a listing of their pick up locations. The Treasure Box pick up dates are similar to Angel Food Ministries.
