Its spring again, and it’s the perfect time to save a little cash by planting your own garden. Make it a family activity and fun for everyone! Herbs and vegetables can be pricey, and by growing your own, you can save big! If you use the essentials like potatoes, tomatoes, strawberries, or bellpeppers in your everyday cooking you can save up to 30% on your weekly grocery bill by planting your own!
Here’s a simple breakdown of just how much you actually can save:
3 potted bellpepper plants (at a local nursery) – $10
(yielding 12-15 bellpeppers per plant)
Store bought Organic bellpepper- $2.50 each
Home Grown bellpepper - 38Cents!
So when wondering what to do on a beautiful weekend, plant a garden and save big!
