Fruit Basket!!

My friend Callie told me about this "thing" she signed up for. You get a basket full of fruit and veggies for 20.00 bucks and pick it up @ Mountain View Elementary parking lot every two weeks. I thought I'd give it a whirl and this is what happened!!

1 Pineapple 6 Mangos 10 Bananas 9 Pink Lady Apples 1 lb of Strawberries 1 lb Green Grapes 8 Tomatoes 1 bunch of Broccoli 3 Summer Squash 2 Cucumbers 2 heads Leafy Lettuce (at least I think it's the leafy kind) 8 Red Potatoes YUMMY!!!



They also have bread and this time they had Italian dinner packets!! Mmmm!!
Callie also did a step by step sign up helper here!! She is so kind to her "slower" friends!!
Bountiful Basket Step by Step
I am doing it by memory so be patient...
1. Click here.
2. Click on Log-In.
3. Set up a profile if you haven't already done so by clicking on "Proceed to Register" This is DIFFERENT than getting their weekly email newsletter/reminders.
4. Enter your information. Click on "Create Account"
5. Click on "Home" (it's underneath Log-In over on the left)
6. Click on "Produce Basket & Bread" (close to where you just clicked on Home)
7. Start shopping. You have to enter ALL the questions. The page will refresh after every question so it's a little annoying but the fruit and veggies are worth it.
8. Enter the quantity that you want and click "Add to cart"
9. When finished click on "Check Out". You'll have to scroll back up with a bit. It's on the left.
10. Review your order.
11. Agree to the terms--all of them.
12. Enter your payment information.
13. Submit it. Couple of notes:*You'll get a confirmation sent to you via email or you can print the page.*First time users will pay a ONE time $3 charge.*You have to pick it up on time, otherwise they donate the food to the local fire department.*Bring your own laundry basket, boxes, or bags to pick up your produce. *You do NOT get to pick what veggies/fruit that you get. It's presorted and you just show up on Saturday morning to pick it up.Good luck. If anyone has questions let me know. I will try to help the best I can :)Here is to eating healthy!
Thanks Callie
Happy Healthy Spring!!
