Spotsylvania Farmers Market: Trip 3

I went to the Spotsylvania Farmers Market today for some fresh locally grown produce.  :)  I had a $10 bill and some toll quarters.  I had to stick to that b/c that was my budget.

First, I find it best to walk around all the tents and price check everything.  The first deal I saw was on the peppers.  They were 5 for $2 or .50 cents each at the C&T Produce tent.  I wanted to make sure that was the best deal so I walked around and checked all the tents.  Why not right?  Every penny counts especially when you have a set amount to spend.  I found some peppers priced at $1.50 per pound, .75 cents each or $2.00 per pound.  I figured C&T had the best price.  I also scanned the zucchini and squash prices. I wanted big ones for dinner tonight so I took notes in my head on the sizes and those prices as I walked around too.

I bought my zucchini which ended up being $3.00 for both of them.  (I don't remember name of booth, but it's the same booth where I got cherry tomatoes, and purple peppers last week)

I then stepped up to Nancy's and got 3 Sea Salt Chocolate Chip cookies.  They were 3 for $2.50, plus tax which made them $2.62.  :)

I walked back over to C&T and got my peppers.  A lot of people noticed this deal and were grabbing a bunch too.  I overheard one lady say she was going to make stuffed peppers with them.  MMMMM  :)  I might do that tomorrow night.  Some of the ones I got were huge and would be perfect for stuffed peppers.  I got 10 peppers total.  I will probably end up freezing some of them so they don't rot before I get to them.  I was disappointed that there were no purple peppers.  Guess pepper season is almost over.  I also got a little squash for .60 cents.  I spent $4.60 total for my peppers and squash.

The total spent:  $10.22   (awwww 10-22 is my wedding anniversary....what perfect numbers)  And I still have some toll quarters left.  :)
