Free Food

When you don't have much money to spend and you're on a tight budget, you may not get enough fruits and veggies in your diet. That's one of the issues that I'm facing now as it is less expensive to buy a bag of grains that will last a while rather than veggies you need to eat within a week.

As a veggie lover, I make sure to include them in my diet. However, veggies tend to be the most expensive part of my meal. Looking for creative solutions, I was talking with a friend recently and she suggested that I check out Sisters' Camelot in Minneapolis.

Sisters' Camelot collects organic fruits and veggies from distributors and farmers markets and distributes it for free. Yes, organic veggies for free! After they pick the food up, the group of volunteers decide on a place to park their bus and invites people to take what veggies they need.

I decided to check it out, and ended up with a box of veggies to take home! Kale, avocados, lime, bananas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes and green onion and more.

I loved volunteering and it felt good to to help out. I am going to continue to volunteer until I find a full time jobs this will help me to get fresh fruits and veggies.
