It is very rare to see a coupon on a produce item. So how do you give your family the fresh fruits and veggies they need and love on a budget? Below is a month to month guide on the best times to buy fresh produce that I stumbled upon at Frugal living. I am going to keep an eye on prices and give it a shot.
