$20 at a farmers market also gets you twice as much as it would in the store. We usually come home with 5 grocery bags full of produce. $20 at walmart gets you maybe 2-3 bags

you do realize a large portion of the country doesn't have regular farmer's markets, and those that do are seasonal.

And here at least, the market isn't substantially cheaper than the grocery store. Some, but I'd never get 5 bags full of veggies for $20.

Agreed. Same here.

I guess I'm spoiled then. Living in a warm climate does have it's perks and that's one of them.

I'm not made of money either and for many years I thought that quality food was simply too expensive until I started going to the FM. Processed foods are a thing of the past in our household with a few exceptions. Again, it takes a bit more effort but I would much rather cook with fresh ingredients when possible but, I totally understand that not everyone has the same options as I do.
