Last week when I went to a local farmers market, I noticed something that completely surprised me. I had a $8 farmers market budget last week. I didn't think $8 could get me much stuff. However, for $8 I bought a cantaloupe, giant green pepper, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, apples, and two cucumbers! Normally, I would spend over $15 on the same stuff at the grocery store. The prices of organic produce is outrages in the grocery stores. Organic produce is much cheaper to purchase at farmers markets.
In a study of California farmers' markets, titled “California Farmers Markets Price Perceptions 54 percent of sellers at California farmers' markets “actually charged lower prices than supermarkets on a cumulative 345 items.” Another 44 percent said they set prices equivalent to supermarkets on a “a cumulative 259 produce items.”
Farmers market is a good way to save money on fresh produce. You'll be surprised how much stuff can buy for less than ten dollars
