keep fruits and
vegetables fresh
Plan to buy fresh fruits and veggies twice a week if you want to eat fresh
produce during the entire week.
Otherwise, plan to eat fresh produce at the beginning of the week,
and eat canned or frozen produce at the end of the week.
Buy only the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables that your family will eat.
It is better to buy only 4 apples instead of the 5 pound bag of apples
if your family will only eat 4 apples in a week.
Stock your freezer with frozen fruits and veggies.
Stock your cupboard with canned fruits and veggies.
Buy frozen vegetables. You can pour out an amount
to cook and freeze the rest for later meals.
