Fresh produce
The price of fresh produce may vary by store. But what stays the same is the fact that generic is always cheaper than the brand-name.” When it comes to fresh vegetables, depending on where you buy your produce, buying generic may be better in terms of price, taste, and nutrition,” says Bella.
If you’re looking for fresh fruits and vegetables, going for local, no-brand ones is the best choice because they aren’t brought from distant places which means they get to keep their freshness and flavor. Farmers’ markets, independent grocers and farm stands are usually the best places to find fresh products but don’t rule out Trader Joe’s or Costco either.
