Do Vegetable Gardens Waste More Money Than They Save?

on
I was bopping along the Internet when I found myself in a discussion about frugal advice people hate. Basically, those tips to save money that don’t apply to you. And the number one way to save money that actually wasted money was – plant a garden. This was followed by people saying that vegetable gardens cost them more money than they saved because it cost them $40 to grow one tomato and that vegtable gardening is a waste of money. On the one hand I tend to agree because growing a vegetable gardening to save money is playing the long game. Save this idea to your Pinterest Boards for later! Share it with your friends!

Easton Farmers Market

on
Last week I visited the Easton Farmers Market. Yep, it is a weekly farmer’s market at a mall.  Oh, excuse me; Easton Towne Center is an entertainment and shopping experience.

In other words a fancy, schmancy mall.

How so?

There’s a free storage area called the Veggie Valet where they keep your produce purchases from the farmer's market cold while you shop the other stores at the mall.

Still fun though.

Yummy food too. Lookit.






















I can't make Focaccia that looks this good at home!
































Pretty plants.



































Including this unusual double-headed daisy.






































The daisy’s name is Audery. Hee!

Cut flowers too.






















Vegetables as far as the eye can see.







































One of the typical complaints I get about shopping at a farmer’s market is of high prices.


 
I can't buy Kohlrabi this cheaply in a grocery store


I found the prices to be reasonable, if not a bargain, on most items.




Have you shopped your local farm market today?
