The Jacksonville Farmer's Market

Oh how I LOVED the Farmer's Market! Nikki, Chad, Madison, Hayden and I loaded up and headed downtown to see how much we could spend (or not spend) on fresh fruits and veggies...and I must say - I am quite impressed!

I swear these kiddos are sick of us taking pictures of them...
But note the fresh veggies behind them!
Hayden, faithfully guarding our haul of produce!
Even though his eyes are closed.....
I got all of this for $20!!
1 bag of clementines,
1 giant citrus thing that I don't remember the name of
4 HUGE cucumbers
6 tomatoes (I gave a couple to Nikki)
3 pears
1 bag of grapes
1 bag of apples
2 onions
6 peaches
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
(Nikki gave me the garlic - but they were SIX for ONE DOLLAR!!!)

Needless to say...I'm hooked!

Yum, looks good! Do they take coupons or give you extra care bucks? :)

It's about time someone besides Cory and I reaped the benefits of the farmer's market...We usually pay practically nothing for our produce...we turn in soda cans to the recycle center down the street from the market and use the what we make $5-$9 on fresh fruits and vegies !
