How to save money on grocery shopping?
Here’s how to beat the rising cost of living…
There’s no doubt the cost of living is soaring. It’s also true that home-grown veggies really don’t cost much or take much effort to grow in a raised timber garden bed.
Recently, we checked out the prices of organic veggies at our local farmers market. A bunch of celery was $9.50, cauliflower $8.95 and a bunch of hardy greens – the easiest to grow – $6.95!
Based on these prices, we figured just the bunch of celery and handful of green beans we harvested alone, will save us at least $15.
Every day, we easily harvest this much food from just a few garden beds – for us, a mix of cauliflower, broccoli, celery, beans, kale, spinach, lettuce and herbs such as basil, coriander and dill. Add that all up, and it’s a saving of approximately $105 each week!
With these savings in mind, there’s really no easier way to beat the rising cost of living than to grow as much of your own food as you can. If you’re saving $105 a week on groceries, a few of our premium deluxe raised garden beds will pay for themselves in a year!
Growing at least some of your own food is good for your budget and better for your health with all kinds of benefits to physical and mental wellbeing.
Let’s see the cost of living as a challenge to THRIVE!
