Are you absolutely in love with fresh fruit? Well, so are we! We love it so much that we went out of our way to put together a little “tip list” full of ways that you can save money on fresh fruit. Yes, we know. It sounds like a pretty awesome concept, huh? Anyways, getting back on topic, we hope that you’re ready to cut down on your fresh fruit bill which will thus enable you to enjoy more of the fresh, ripe, juicy fruit that you love to devour!
Buy Locally
The first way that you can save money on fruit is to buy it locally. Buying fruit locally will ensure that you get the freshest fruit possible for the best price. You’ll also be supporting local farmers or small businesses which is great for your area’s economy. Trust on when we say this. The best way to buy fruit is to find a small fruit stand or shop and buy it locally.
Buy It Regularly
Our second tip is to buy your fresh fruit on a regular basis. In other words, buy it as you need it. What we typically like to do is this. Let’s say that we want some bananas and we usually eat a banana a day. We’ll buy 2-3 bananas max and eat our one banana per day. Once we run out, we go back to the store and get more. Yeah, buy your fruit like that.
Prepare It Yourself
Buying fruit already cut and prepared is pretty convenient but we’re not a fan of it. It will cost you more for that box of sliced fruit than buying the actual fruit and preparing it on your own would be. You get three times as much fruit for half the price. Watermelons and pineapples are both good examples of fruit like this. So, prepare your own fruit and save.
Buy It Canned
Every once in a while, you’ll want to buy canned fruit. Avoid canned fruits that are heavy in syrup or added sugar though. It’s absolutely horrible for you! If you just want your fruit fix though and are on a tighter budget than normal, try buying some canned fruit. If you want to reverse all the added sugar’s effects, eat the canned fruit as soon as you wake. This will ensure that your body’s blood sugar count is low and you’re simply refilling it.
And if you follow all of this advice, we promise that you will save a ton of money on fresh fruits as well as your grocery bill in general. It’s not rocket science and it’s not tough. You just have to make all of this a habit and the savings will come on their own later on. Now, what are you waiting for? Let’s get out there, enjoy some fresh fruit, and save a little bit of money while we’re doing it. As we often say, that’s what life is all about. Fun savings!
