With having my second canner, I’m getting ambitious and the fact that I do not have a little baby I bought another bushel of tomatoes to can for sauce and than they had this nice find! The bell peppers are $5 a bushel and even cheaper if you buy 2! These will go great in the salsa, sauce and than chopped and frozen for casserole season for me! ( winter). Lots of Applesauce coming up as well! Love Galas! They have Honeycrisp there too! (they do cost more though $25 a bushel!)
But this is a great way to save money. Even with the Apples. Apples will store for awhile in the fridge or keep in a cool place. Applesauce can be frozen and cooked down in a crock pot.
Tops has apples on sale right now for $5.99 a 3 lb. bag Buy 1 Get 1. There is a $1/2 coupon to use and you would have to buy 4 bags.
So lets say you buy 4 bags of apples and use the $1/2 Tops click to card coupon.
You spend $10.98 for 12 lbs of Apples. Sounds good right? Not bad. That is $0.91/lb.
But if you buy 1 bushel of Apples you are paying $0.30/lb and if you buy 2 bushels $0.25/lb!
The Farmers Market is defiantly the cheaper option here!!
Apples are also buy 2 bushels than they are $10 each or $12 if you buy 1 bushel!
What did you find today at the Genesse Country Farmers Market? Or a Farmers Market in your area??
