Is it from the multinationals or farm fresh companies which have alot of showrooms to sell their produce, or from the local vegetable vendor, or from the kisan mandi where farmers come to sell their produce at half prices!

We do have a farmers market, but I don't see a price saving in that. I grow my own tomatoes because my husband won't plant anything else. My neighbor is good about giving us some of her canned goods that she grows and puts up. I try not to buy to much from the stores because I don't like the taste and it does cost to much. Hopefully next season I can talk my hubby into planting something other that tomatoes. I really want my own green house and grow fruits and vegetables all year long.

I usually buy fruit at Wal-mart but i find the prices go up and down alot.Sometimes they have like a Farmers Market where you can get them cheaper.The best thing i found to do is check the Sunday paper for sales before you go to store.

I buy from several different places. I try to buy organic when I can here at the local supermarket. Lately there have been some produce available which is grown by local farmers. I always choose that if it is available! I also like to go to the farms and pick myself. Most years I would go pick fresh blueberries. I cannot do that now, but I did it when I could! I usually try roadside farm stands too or if someone is setting on the side of the road selling their home grown foods I stop and purchase those.

I have no choice but buy fruits in the supermarket.because I can buy one kg or even less if I want.It is discommodious to buy them in other ways .

I buy vegetables and fruits from the local market. most of the produce that sells here are fresh. Vegetables, i am particular about it being fresh from farm. anything refrigerated or frozen is not acceptable to me, especially vegetables and fruits. probably i wont be able to go directly to farmer and buy, but atleast i am sure of the stuff that arrives is fresh than what is stocked at some of the MNC run retail shops.

I buy fruits and vegetables from our local supermarket here. I can't afford to go to stores that sells organic but expensive fruits and veges. They're for the rich and the famous who are marketly targeted so that they will live longer than us :(
