Nor surprisingly around this time certain fruits and vegetables become cheaper as they are in season. Watermelon seems to be one of the most prevalent I have seen over the past few weeks. In fact, last week I saw a store that was selling watermelons for about 34 cents s pound.
The thing is though, they are all pretty huge to the point where even though it is a good deal the household here would have to consume more than they would naturally want to in an effort to eat it while its fresh. You can even see in this week’s flyer for a different store it advertises that all of its watermelons are on average 11 pounds.
The first thing that usually comes to my mind when I see these kinds of deals though is I ask friends and family members if other people would like part of the purchase as well. That way, everyone is getting a decent amount that doesn’t require extra storage and price wise everyone would be paying as if they are buying exactly how much they need at a discounted price.
I usually find it that people are excited to share in deals like these too. Otherwise it’s like people purchasing wholesale where they end spending and consuming more than they actually need. Funny how it works that way where sharing deals are a great way to save money too huh
