Buy in or out of season
Timing is essential in life, including when it comes to saving money. Savvy shoppers know that some items like clothes, outdoor furniture or gardening supplies are cheaper out of season while others such as produce are worth buying in season.
Check when it’s the best time to buy produce with the Center for Urban Education About Sustainable Agriculture. They provide charts for fruits, nuts and vegetables and information about their availability from month to month. Also, the Seasonal Food Guide help you narrow your search by state and see what’s in season in your area.
