This morning I went to the farmaers market, in Sacramento. Alot of people complain of the prices going up (orgnic avocadoes cost 25 cents more than at the grocery store last week for example), but if you are willing to shop around for deals this place is invaluable to a foodie. Fortunately in sacramento there are farmers markets 10 farmers markets, two open daily every day except Monday and Friday. For more information on all the farmers markets in and around sacramento click here! Today I figured it would be fun to set a spending limit of ten dollars and see how far I could stretch it. I will try to make a breakfast, lunch and dinner using little more than what was purchased today.
So, today for only $10, I got:
- A variety of small yellow white and green mixed squashes, Im thinking about Ratatoullie but I'd need to get an Eggplant from the supermarket. $2
- A whole fish. Not sure what kind, the asian fish truck is kind of a magical place like that. $2
- 4 Red Potatoes for $0.50
- One large helping of red and yellow cherries. I heard they are incredibly healthy for your heart. $0.50
- Green Beens, a bit more than one pound, the ends still need to be snapped off. $1
- One Baby Honeydew Melon- $1
- One Day Old Pecan Cinnamon Wheel, normally I dont do these, but I wanted a sweet treat with my morning coffee which was premade. $1
- An assortment of apricots, nectarines and peaches, a little over one pound- $1
- A large portion of Arugula- $1
