I’m on the last week of this experiment.\u00a0 So I decided, since the bountiful baskets are possible primarily because of volunteers, that I would volunteer this week.\u00a0 The pick up time was 9:45am the volunteers have to show up an hour earlier at 8:45am.\u00a0 When I got there there were already 5 others there to volunteer.\u00a0 We unloaded the produce from the truck and then started putting them in baskets, 60 baskets to be exact.\u00a0 There were other volunteers who showed up after me and we ended up with about 10 people there.\u00a0 Everything went very smoothly.\u00a0 We were done putting all the produce in the baskets ready for pick up by 9:30 fifteen minutes before pick up time.\u00a0 Once everyone started showing up it went very quickly and I was home by 10:00am.\u00a0 However, this isn’t how it always goes.\u00a0 It is all dependent on how many people volunteer.\u00a0 Last week there were only a few volunteers and they didn’t finish until about 10:30.\u00a0 They had a line of people waiting for their baskets. When you volunteer you get an extra big item or 2 extra small items.\u00a0 I choose for my extra a bundle of spinach.<\/p>\n

This week I feel is better than last because I feel we got a lot of produce.\u00a0 When I tallied everything and priced it out it ended up totaling $23.57.\u00a0 Really not what I expected.\u00a0 I expected that I would save a lot more this week but really this and last week savings are around the same.\"\"<\/a> This weeks basket contained:<\/p>\n

1 pineapple\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6 bananas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2 bundles of asparagus<\/p>\n

2 zucchini \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 3 mangoes \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 3 tomatoes<\/p>\n

2 grapefruit\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 6 apples\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6 sweet potatoes<\/p>\n

2 bundles of spinach\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1lb carrots\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1 head of green leaf lettuce<\/p>\n

Just because I say this is the final week of the experiment doesn’t necessarily mean that I’ll stop getting the baskets just that I’ll hopefully form a conclusion and then stop blogging about it.\u00a0 This week is spring break and, in theory,\u00a0 I should be able to find a little more time to blog about what I have done with my items.\u00a0 I hope I can end this experiment with a bang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
