    There are fresh produce co-op all over the country, you just need to look for them. The one in my area (rocky mountains and some of the west coast) is called Bountiful Baskets.


    I rarely buy produce anymore and every week the it's different... it's like christmas! See if you have something like this in your area.

    I know people who do this and LOVE it. I think that you can get more from stores like Aldi's but there pro's and con's to both.
    I have done it a couple times and was happy and it was quick and easy (ordered on line) aand one stop.

    For me its eggs, oats, rice, fruit, veggies and meats. Stick to things that are on sale and you should be able to keep in budget. Stay away from the center of the supermarket and from any premade or prepared foods and you should be ok.
