A friend of mine in Spanish Fork first told me about Bountiful Baskets sometime last fall but for some reason I didn't look into it then. Then a few of my sister-in-laws started to try it in Idaho and here in Utah County recently so I knew I needed to look into it. I did my first pick up last Saturday and I think I'm hooked now. I got all of the produce shown above for $15! Its really good quality too. Its an all volunteer food co-op. You order your basket between Monday night and Tuesday night and pay for it online then find your closest pick up location and pick it up Saturday morning. Just bring a laundry basket to dump it all in. Everyweek its a different assortment of 50% fruits and 50% vegetables. This week I got : 1 bunch bananas, 2 pineapples, 9 peaches, 2 mangos, 7 limes, 1 bag of grapes, 17 plums, 5 lb bag of potatoes, 2 butternut squash, 12 oz. of cherry tomatoes, 1 head of romaine lettuce, 1 head of cauliflower and 1 package of white asparagus. They also run weekly specials like 24 lbs of peaches for $10 or large quantities of blueberries for a good price. Just go to bountifulbaskets.org to check it out. They have pickups across Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and Washington for all of my out of state friends!

I totally want to do this when I get home. Shelly and Tara both rave about it, too! I hope they're still in business when we come home.
