SEASONAL PRODUCEYES
October is when the fall bounty begins coming in and some warm-weather plants produce their final yields. Look for cheap apples, beets, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cranberries, grapes, honeydew melon, kale, leeks, lettuce, oranges, pears, spinach, squash, sweet potatoes, and yams. If there’s an apple orchard nearby, picking your own may be cheaper and make for a fun weekend outing, not to mention nutritious and budget-friendly meals.
