Addison and I went to the butcher to pick up our organic ground beef and while we were out I decided to stop by a small country mennonite store (I blogged about this store before).
Upon arriving at the store, I saw containers of strawberries calling my name ;) I have a thing for strawberries, always have. I know full well that strawberries are not in season right now in cetnral Pennsylvania. I've seen them at the grocery store lately but have not purchased any because of cost, quality, and distant shipping methods.
But today after getting a closer look at those strawberries, which were bright red, I noticed that each pack was 32 oz and only $2.79~! AND to top that off they were organic! I quickly grabbed two containers of them and off Addy and I went happy to have our beloved strawberries so early in the season.
I know Barbara Kingsolver would say "no!" "Don't buy them because they were not locally grown"...but I did. The cost was tantelizing and the organic nature by which they were grown was right up my new healthy-eating-alley.
So strawberries we will have with our dinner and strawberry shortcake later this week!! All for $2.79 for 2 lbs!!
I try to buy local/seasonal produce as well, but I'm not die-hard about it. I would have bought the strawberries too!
ReplyDeleteI just couldn't pass them up at such a low price!
