On Manager's Special 2.23.09
Ripe bananas only $0.75!
Apples and a pear $1.00.
And my mom found these baby carrots for $1.50.
Grand total just $3.25. Very cool.
Okay, those bananas are going into smoothies, apples and pears make great snacks and I'm sure my mom will do something cool with the carrots.








Where do you normaly get those manager specials?
Thanks for keeping us updated! :)
Hey Steffi-
I buy the stuff at supermarkets and farmers markets in central-east New Jersey.
And because of this little weekly feature. Its become a habit! :)
Peace.

Hi Gerry,
My whole strategy when buying fruits and veggies revolves around buying what happens to be on special. This means I buy what is in season and sometimes buy fruit and veggies in bulk. Like you I often buy bananas and mangoes that are a little spotted (and heavily discounted) but perfectly fine. Actually I prefer them that way.
We got five pounds of organic carrots today for $1.50.
Wonderful prices unfortunately they are not organic. Apples are one of the dirty dozen fruits and vegetables that have the highest concentration of pesticides.
