Where to buy Fresh Vegetables

A lot of people enjoy fresh vegetables, but can't afford the cost. Today I'll share how to shop for fresh affordable vegetables. A few places to consider buying vegetables are Grocery Stores, Flea Markets and Farmer Markets.

Grocery
Aldi, compare n save and walmart have a variety of discounted vegetables. The stores also send out sales flyers every week with vegetables listed.

Flea Market
Flea markets tend to have booths set up just for vegetables all year round. Although certain items may/may not be available all season.

Farmer Market
Farmer markets are similar to flea markets, although farmer markets tend to have a variety of vegetables all year round. The local farmer market where i live tends to have reduced vegetables all week. I have brought items such as: tomato, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, broccoli green bean, okra, potato, apples, and for 1.00 a bag. If the farmer has too many items or the expire date is close the item is usually reduced. This honestly is always because vegetables expire quickly. Although one thing i have noticed that these items stay fresher still longer than my local grocery vegetables.

A few tips when seeking your vegetables are google to find your local flea market, farmers market or grocery with a variety of fresh vegetables. Also don't buy vegetables at the flea market or farmers market or local grocery that look out-dated this will decreases freshness of vegetables.
