I Can't Believe I'm Doing This

Sometimes it is good to share secrets--and this is one secret that I really can't help but share.

I am sure you already know about this, but it is too great not to share! A couple of months ago, my friend told me about Bountiful Baskets, a produce co-op in Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, and Texas. I don't think this announcement could have come at a better time; Dane and I were really trying to eat more fresh foods, and I was sick of the grocery store produce going bad after the first few days.

So, here is the deal: you will order your "basket" of produce on Monday nights at 8:00 pm. Now, when I say 8:00, I really mean 8:00. Those baskets are sold in minutes sometimes! I am willing to stop whatever I am doing, even FHE with friends, to order. (Please don't think that I am a bad host!)

On Saturday mornings you will pick up your basket of fruits and veggies. Now, I was expecting to get just a few items my first time. The baskets are only $15! Well, I was pleasantly surprised to come home with two green WinCo bags of produce. You have to make sure to pick it up on time, or you could miss out though. Dane and I so graciously had our produce donated one week when we missed the pickup time by 10 minutes.

I can't help but tell everyone about how fabulous Bountiful Baskets are--I must add that everyone who has tried has really been impressed. My friend and her husband eat theirs for 3 weeks, and Dane and I try to get one each week to help us eat more plant-based diets.

Take a look at the website to learn more about this fabulous opportunity. You can't help but be happy about eating better, supporting farmers, and spending less money! I hope you will give it a try or ask me any questions!

Don't forget to check out their website HERE. SERIOUSLY! And really, I have a lot of competition in the Pocatello area, so I would totally appreciate it if you wouldn't steal my basket! Just kidding--but seriously!

Thanks for sharing Kasi! It looks like it's available in Twin Falls as well, so I'm thinking I might have to give it a try when I move there. It sounds like a good deal!
