Bountiful Baskets

Today I ordered my first bountiful basket. I am really excited! It was $16.50 (including shipping and handling) plus a $3 fee for a first time buyer. I ordered on Monday and got my food today. Here is what I got:

2 spaghetti squash
2 (gigantic!) sweet potatoes (seriously, they are bigger than my kids head!)
1 head of cauliflower
1 bunch of asparagus
10 clementine oranges
1 bag apples
7 bananas
1 (10.5 oz) package of mini tomatoes
5 pears
1 (8oz) package of sugar snap peas

Do you think I got my moneys worth? I hope I did! I am excited to use it all. One kid opened the peas and ate half a package already and another kid gobbled down two oranges and an apple and declared the apples "better than the best apples that I've had!"

If you want to sign up for a bountiful basket too, you can go here: http://www.bountifulbaskets.org/
I am not even going to try to explain it, just check out the website.

Cool! It's fun to see yours and your family's excitement over fruits and vegetables. I'm guessing that if you actually use them all within the allotted time period, or before they go rotten, then it was worth it. I'm excited for you!
