I love to purchase the "damaged" fruits...they are perfect to cut up and put into things, or just cut off the bruises. You can save a bundle that way! I am not a huge romaine fan, but I love the darker lettuce. Normally I buy what is on sale in order to save a few bucks! Hi Tina,

We buy almost all our veggies at Trader Joe's because the prices are so reasonable -- a bag of 8 organic apples for $2.50! I love seeing what other people buy at the grocery store!

I also buy in the reduced section of my local grocery store for other things. I buy in bulk for my veggies and fruits at Sam’s club because I eat so much of it.
