Good morning, everyone. Today's Thrifty Thursday quick tip is how to reduce your grocery bill by shopping at your local farmers market. I love shopping at the farmers market where you can find all kinds of great deals on fresh fruits and vegetables. You can find some incredibly good prices here. Now, my favorite is papaya. I have one just I come just about every day, and papayas here are like a dollar each. At the store, they're over a dollar a pound. You can also find fresh mangoes and apple bananas and pineapples and corn, just about anything you can think of. As you can see, there's a lot of savings here, but more importantly, we're helping the local farmers by shopping directly with them. For Wake Up Today, I'm Alan Akina. See you next week.
Hi, Mom. Thank you, Alan. And I love when you go to the farmers market and you get the coconut and you drink the milk.
Oh, yummy. Well, see, things you find out.
