Many of us believe eating healthy is hard to do on a budget. Depending on the time of year, certain produce items are cheaper and more readily available than others. As grocery stores or your local farmers markets get an influx of produce, they may put some on sale to try to sell their inventory before the produce goes bad. By knowing what fruits and vegetables are in season, you can increase your chance of getting a better deal and eating fresh food without emptying your wallet. Here’s a helpful list of summer produce items:

  • Apricots
  • Asian pears
  • Bell peppers
  • Blackberries
  • Blueberries
  • Cantaloupe
  • Cherries
  • Corn
  • Eggplant
  • Figs
  • Garlic
  • Grapes
  • Grapefruits
  • Grape tomatoes
  • Green beans
  • Honeydew melon
  • Jalapeno peppers
  • Lima beans
  • Limes
  • Nectarines
  • Peaches
  • Peas
  • Plums
  • Radishes
  • Raspberries
  • Strawberries
  • Tomatoes
  • Watermelon
  • Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • Zucchini

While produce is cheap, try freezing it so you can have it later in the year when it’s more expensive. And don’t forget to support your local farmers by buying your groceries at a farmers market.
