<\/a><\/div>\n

I know we’ve posted several times about Bountiful Baskets, but I was curious just how much I was saving.\u00a0 I was taking everyone’s word for it that it was a good deal, but I wanted to find out for myself.\u00a0 I paid $19.50 for my first basket ($15 for the produce, $3 first time set up fee, and $1.50 handling fee).\u00a0 From now on, baskets will cost me $16.50 total.<\/p>\n

I went to Safeway and priced out the same produce that I got in my basket as closely as I could.\u00a0 Here’s what I came up with:<\/p>\n

1 English cucumber – $1.99
6 Tomatoes – $5.97
6 Oranges – $4.47
1 Cabbage – $1.20
1 Yellow honeydew – $4.98
2 Bunches of bananas – $2.40
2 – 1lb bags of carrots – $2.58
1 – 5lb bag potatoes – $2.99
2 Heads of romaine – $5.00
2 Heads of kale – $3.98
1 – 3lb bag of Granny Smith apples – $3.99
1 Bunch of green onions – $ .79<\/p>\n

TOTAL\u00a0 $40.34<\/p>\n

I saved $20.84 by buying the same produce through Bountiful Baskets!!<\/p>\n
