Farmers Market: Groceries Week 2

Do you know that I have never really "shopped" for all of my produce at the farmers market. I have gone and got a couple of things on a whim, but it’s never been something I have done on a regular basis. One of the best things about living in So Cal is that we have Farmers Markets 365 days a year! Just in my local neighbor hood we have three, one on Thursday nights, one on Saturday mornings, and one on Sunday mornings.

So this morning I decided to hit up the one on Loma Linda to see what I could scrounge up 🙂 I have always loved going to Farmers Markets, but still not sure what is the best deal.

I loved that I got to talk with the Farmers themselves and do some taste testing. 

I think I did pretty well. I walked away spending $12 🙂

• Kale-$1.00
• 3 Avocados-$1.00
• Broccoli-$.50
• lots of tomatoes-$1.00
• strawberries-$4.00
• 2 mire lemons-$1.00
• Fresh Baked
• Whole Wheat
• Honey Bread-$4.00  🙂

We are taking our bread machine back today 🙁 I tried to make some bread in it last night and it was a complete FAIL!!! But I am glad I know now where I can get some bread!

I also stopped into our local grocery store (Stater Brothers) and picked up a few things.

• bananas-$2
• organic creamer-$1.99
• eggs$2
• 3 organic pieces of chicken-$5
• fresh sliced ham-$1.50
• 1 cucumber-$1
• 1 red onion-$1
• 1 sweet potato-$1
• 3 bags of beans-$1.25 X3 
• This bill was a total of $18.00

I am making chili this week 🙂

So I spent a little over $30 for groceries this week..NOT BAD! I will do a full menu plan for next week on Monday 🙂

Oh ya and I also got in a 8 mile HILLY run with my ladies this morning, FELT AMAZING! I am in love with the weather.

Could there be a better view?!  (also in the voice of Mr. Bing).

Hubby and I are going to run some errands together today and make lunch before we go. I think this might be our first weekend "day" off for the both of us is about a month 🙂

P.S. The crazy dinner party madness starts tonight!!!
