$18.15
Yup that is it. All this produce cost a whopping $18.15 Can you believe it? The answer is
Produce Terminal !!! Click on the link to find one in your state.
You can also Google search your town, produce terminal and find a farmers market terminal near you. These are different then the typical farmers market. This is where the fruits and veggies are shipped off to the stores.
We had so much fun here. You go to the actual terminals where all the produce exchanges happen. I live in South Texas so speaking Spanish would have really come in handy. I speak very little and I did my best to hang in there. We had so much fun going from area to area. The produce terminal we visited had a farmers market area for folks to set up their produce to purchase.
Look at it all is it not just so pretty? We found some very unusual things there.
Some I have never heard of or seen before. Like this Louisiana Cucuzza Squash. It is so big! It is about 3 feet long. I took a picture with my daughter holding one up but it is sideways and I cannot rotate it for you.
And this furry thing, I did ask the name but of course I cannot remember! Sorry!
This is a great way to stock up on produce items for your family. If you plan on preserving some foods then, this beats any grocery store price ever.
Here are some of the prices I paid:
Pineapple $1.00 each
Head of lettuce .20c
4.5 pounds of bananas $2.00
Watermelon $1.00
The prices were unbelievable. I am sure I bought way more of some things than I needed, but we feel it was and is worth it. I hope you can try them and have great success too!

If any other cities links are broken, strip out the middle parts of the link, so that only the city name . htm come after the main site address.
