Local produce markets and the frugally inclined

2. Oh, that sucks for you.

At this time of year, there are farm stands on practically every corner. This time of year, I make myself sick eating so much fresh produce.

I wonder, what do your grocery stores do with produce that is starting to turn? We have one (out of all the grocery stores in our area) that marks it down instead of tossing it. The point is, you know it may have bad spots.

As to the freezer space, I have a chest freezer and it is the absolute best investment I have made. I can buy things on sale in quantity instead of being subject to the prices at the time I need something.
