Fresh Produce – Don’t Buy

Fresh produce is called “fresh” for a reason. Usually, the ones at the big stores are not that fresh and have been there for at least a day. Those who love cooking are aware of the importance of keeping the ingredients as fresh as possible. Plus, there have been several complaints about food quality sold at these chain stores’ fish and meat departments, so it is better to veer away from them.

Where then would you go for fresh meat, poultry, fruits, and vegetables? The best place to obtain meat is from your local butcher. You already have developed a relationship with them, and so they are aware of your preferred cuts. They can even predict what you will be cooking for the day. Go to the local farmer’s market for your fruits and veggies. You will not need to chip away at your investment money anytime soon as these local products don’t cost much.
