• Mixed Produce Box (4 bags of cherries) $3.  Paid $3.17.

Fantastic bag of cherries!  So sweet and delicious.

• Mixed Produce Box (4 bags of cherries) $3.  Paid $3.17.

I did not mean to buy another four bags of cherries.  What happened was there was a glitch in the app (I had purchased a bag of bananas), but when the clerk retrieved the bag, it was of cherries!  Even the photo on the app changed to show cherries.  It was sooo weird.  I took the bag anyway because I knew if I said I didn’t want it, it was likely they were just going to throw it away instead of reposting it.

• Mixed Produce Box (3 bags of baby bok choy) $3.  Paid $3.17.

Leafy greens are such a gamble in the produce boxes..  You always have to sort through the wilted leaves.

I wanted to try the angel food cake since it was so cheap for 50 cents but wow, it was way too sweet!  The firm tofu package was totally frozen.  I don’t think we’ve bought and eaten frozen tofu before.  First time for everything.  It was delicious when we did end up cooking it.

The whole wheat baguette was very hard but after steaming it, it was fine to eat.

• Fruit Box (61 Ambrosia apples, 14 limes) $6.  Paid $6.34.

Nine limes aren’t pictured in the photo because I gave them to my friend.  Good quality apples for the most part.  A couple of them were cracked so we ate those first.  Also our first time getting over 60 apples in one fruit box.
