I don't know if you guys have ever heard of the food co-op called bountiful baskets. It's all over Utah, Arizona, Idaho, California plus some! It's completely ran by volunteers and people get online every Monday or Tuesday and pay $15 for your order. The general organizers see how many orders they need to fill each week and then because they have such big orders they are able to get produce and the same price a grocery store would purchase it. Then because it's all ran by volunteers, those who order get it for that price as well. You pick it up on the next Saturday. It's different every week and you a TON of food! I've been doing it now for the past month or so and I LOVE it! All this food in the picture cost me only $15! There is no way I could get this much at the store for that price! Plus I get veggies and fruits that I've never tried so I get a new experience with it as well! You guys should really check it out and see if there is a site where you live. Just go to www.bountifulbaskets.org and check it out! This past weekend while I was gone Todd picked it up for me and then sent me this fabulous picture... I guess his mom never taught him to not play with his food! :)

Oh man, I haven't gotten tomatoes in mine yet!
We got a bunch this week! And we've gotten the cherry tomatoes before!
Yeah, I just about signed up for one of these in Lehi, but then we moved. And of course they don't have one out here :P
you can start up your own... anyone can do it!
then I would have to do all the hard work for everyone else :) I'll just take my weekly trip to Smith's and bi-weekly trip to costco....
