For all LFRV living in AZ!

So in one of my posts awhile back I was asking people for help on getting so much fruit on a limited budget, and I was at a loss because it was too expensive to go all the way unless I went on an all banana diet indefinitely XD lol.

Recently I discovered the superstician ranch market....amazing! 10 grapefruits for a dollar? Bananas 20 cents a lb? Watermelon 10 cents a lb? 4 cartons of strawberries for a dollar? It's a 10-20 min drive from where I live, but so worth it! lol

I just wanted to share my excitement (: Oh, and a good place to start for anyone else in AZ struggling to find affordable produce lol.

Hey In Mesa, AZ right? I visited my grandmother there last March and we went there. That place was great! I was a little disappointed because I'm rather adamant on organic produce, but the place still had really good produce and it was incredibly affordable.

I could definitely live in Arizona. Right now I'm in Eastern South Dakota and it just doesn't compare. It's supposed to be 55 degrees tomorrow! It's almost June for goodness sakes. I'm missing Mesa about now.....

that's great Windlord! I've been there a few times and it's been hit or miss. Any tips? What have you purchased that is good? I've enjoyed their oranges. The last time I got watermelon and mangos they were not very tasty. They keep saying they are going to get organic but I haven't seen anything on the weekly e-mails I get from them.

I think it's hit or miss because they buy the overage produce from truckers that was rejected at grocery stores either because they ordered too much or was a different variety than they ordered. I had this problem with some cantaloupes that o delivered to Safeway. They didn't want them because the diameter was too small so we gave Kodiak a call and they took them off my hands.

It's on main street between Greenfield and Higely on the
south side of the street. I just bought 40 tomatoes for 4 dollars and the avocados are 25 cents right now.
