Saving Money on Produce

My kids go through a lot of fruit and vegetables every week.  My 2 year old eats non stop, so I have to keep fresh produce readily available or she'd eat way too much processed foods. 

Saving money on fresh produce tends to be a hard task since there are rarely coupons or great deals on fruit and veggies.  Unless you grow your own, the best way to save in this area at the grocery store is to keep up with what is in season and buy only that produce.  Avoid buying out of season items, unless you just have to. 

Southern Savers has a great article on the month of May's in season produce along with some other helpful tips!
