How to Save Money at A Produce Stand Near Me

If you’ve ever asked yourself: “How can I save money at a produce stand near me?” you are in luck. Tacoma Boys and H&L Produce is more than you could hope for.

Breaking away from processed and packed foods and switching to local fruits and vegetables is a healthy choice. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t have to cost more to make this change. There are plenty of ways to invest in fresh, local produce at low prices.

Tacoma Boys and H&L Produce offer the freshness and quality of a produce stand with the convenience of a 24-hour store.

We make it as easy as possible for you and your family to eat healthy. Follow these tips and you will never have to ask “How can I save money at a produce stand near me?” again!

So many kinds of apples to choose from at Tacoma Boys and H&L Produce.

Think “Local Produce Stand Near Me” Instead of Big Chains

There are local produce stands and local farmer’s markets all around you. During most of the year, that is. Living in the Pacific Northwest means that we have to do our shopping indoors once Fall and Winter roll around.

Every year, local stands become more and more popular. Many people have been making the switch to shopping locally for their produce. Shopping for local produce is a great way to find some amazing deals that you would never be able to find in a larger chain grocery store.

Buy According to the Season

When you purchase produce that’s in-season, you will find that it’s more affordable. You’ll also find that it often tastes better; because that particular item was picked and sold at its peak. An added health benefit to eating fruit in season is that it often contains more nutrients than the same product in the off-season.

Expect to see deals and sales on in-season produce because of the quantity and quality produced.

Pence Friar Plums are so delicious!

Freeze / Preserve What You Don’t Eat!

One sure way to save some money is to preserve your produce right after purchasing it. This is a great way to take advantage of in-season pricing! Buy what you can afford, eat what you need, then preserve or freeze the rest.

Freezing Produce

There are different methods that work well for each type of fruit or vegetable.

Some of the best fruits and vegetables for freezing are:

  • Kale
  • Corn
  • Berries
  • Peaches
  • Avocados

Think of this process as an investment. Plan ahead and bulk up/preserve what produce you use most.

Preserves

You may love some delicious jam on your toast in the morning, or pickles with your sandwich for lunch. At one time these tasty treats were a necessity! Long before refrigeration was accessible to the general public, cultures across the globe developed ways to preserve their produce, so that they would have nutritious, delicious food items through the winter.

There are many ways to pickle or preserve your fruits and vegetables. If you you’d like to experiment with the final product without going through the process, try some of our specialty canned items! We have an amazing selection that you will not find in any other store.

Tacoma Boys and H&L Produce have a wide selection of fruits and vegetables.

Produce Doesn’t Have to be Perfect

Remember, you don’t need perfect produce. Local farms and stands often mark down the produce that isn’t the prettiest. Some people might call this “choosing seconds,” but as long as it tastes good, a few bruises or discoloration still works for canning, eating raw or other recipes.

Truthfully, at Tacoma Boys and H&L Produce we are sticklers for quality. You may not find ugly produce at our markets but you’ll still find the great deals. How is that possible?

We keep inventory rotating so the produce you take home is fresh and delicious every time. When specific fruits, vegetables, and even meats are in-season we put them on our Weekly Specials Flyer at a great price to make sure we sell out.

Remember this next time you see a deal on your favorite produce; they tend to go fast!

Some of the most amazing fruits have their own character.

Choose a Different Lifestyle

So the next time you ask yourself, “Where’s a produce stand near me,” know that your local Tacoma Boys and H&L Produce are a great 24 hour option!

Hopefully, we can be a fresh, local resource for you. Our team gives the best customer service and we love to offer free samples!
