Not only do you save money on the produce itself, but the gas and auto wear and tear plus the lack of “impulse buying” while at the store. Think about it, have you ever walked into a store to buy a tomato and came out with JUST a tomato? Don’t forget the health benefit of home grown food, that’s a money saver in a whole different category.
Right you are, Joe. It’s a multi-faceted win! ~TxH~
