I ran across Bountiful Baskets through the Blissful & Domestic blog about the lady who lives on $ 14,000 a year(saw it on the news) and BOY am I glad Bountiful made its way to my neck of the woods in Texas. I have participated the past 4 weeks and volunteered the 4th week. I’m anxiously awaiting my 5th basket coming this Saturday morning. The first time I went the truck was still there cause it was running late but the VSC assured it hasn’t been late in years. Sure enough the past 3 times after it wasn’t late. It’s always good to get there a little before 7:45am that way you aren’t in the long long line(even though it’s worth it either way). I also want to say how well organized and run this Dar Plaza location is. Those ladies and few gents really have it down to a T. Everyone is super friendly as well. The produce has been awesome! The selection is great and it’s forced me to try things i normally don’t buy in the produce section. Makes me venture out. It’s been well worth the $ 16.50(1.50CC charge every time) that it cost me to participate. I see myself doing this for a long while. Plus living in an apartment I don’t have a garden, only fresh herbs. Speaking of herbs. they occassionally do add-on items like fresh herb pack for $ 12 or cases of roma tomatoes or asparagus or apples or oranges. They even have packs like an Asian pack or Mexican pack. They also have fresh bread add-ons and granola add-ons. I’ve never tried an add on but a lot of people get them. They also have an organic option if that’s the type of veggies you prefer for your family. It’s an additional $ 10 upgrade charge but supplies are limited. Love BB! Woot Woot!

LOOOOOOOOOVE! We «contributed» to BB for the first time this past week and I picked up from the Carrollton location on Saturday. The truck had run late, so a long-ish line had to wait around for a bit, but it was so worth it for all of the wonderful produce I got so inexpensively. Plus, BB is 100% volunteer run and those guys work hard to get everything together in a timely fashion. Thank you, volunteers! I opted for the organic box for $ 25 and got: 3 mangoes 1 quart of strawberries 6 cameo apples 1 personal seedless watermelon 1 bunch of very large bananas 4 yellow squash 2 cucumbers A head of cauliflower Romaine lettuce A huge bunch of spinach Leeks And one other type of greens I can’t recall Everything was amazingly fresh and has been very tasty thus far. Highly recommended! If you choose to participate in BB, do yourself a favor and make a small investment in some Debbie Meyer Green Bags. They will make your produce last so much longer!
