This is the first year I'm tracking what we are harvesting and putting a price tag on savings. It's very difficult to estimate some of the pricing because organic produce is practically non-existent in my area. My estimates on savings are very conservative using Walmart pricing. I missed calculating the first harvests of asparagus, spinach, and rhubarb, but suffice it to say the below is pretty accurate since the Strawberries starting coming in.
Strawberries: 32 quarts, avg $3.00/quart = $96.00
Romaine - 6 lbs. - $12.00
Kale - 4 lbs. - $4.00
Radishes - 3 lbs. - $3.00
Broccoli - 7.5 lbs. - $14.00
Rhubarb - 6.75 lbs. - (??? - never saw this for sale anywhere around here)
Asparagus - 5 lbs (estimate) - $15.00
Spinach - 2.5 lbs (estimate) - $3.00
Sugar peas - 8 lb.- $16.00
Snap peas - 3.75 lbs. - $5.00
Mesclun mixed greens - .5 lbs. - $3.00
Spring Onions .5 lbs. - $1.00
Carrots .5 lbs. - $.50
Total pounds: 48 pounds and 32 quarts of berries
Total savings: $172.50
