Saint John Purchasing Club

I put in for a veggie box at the purchasing club for May. Money is due by the 13th pick up is the 20th...I'll keep you posted on May's box.

I'd love to hear what's included :o) Thanks!

I picked up my May box today, here's what was in it - $20:

* 5 bananas
*6 oranges
*2 very large yams (sweet potatoes)
*5 lbs potatoes
*1 broccolli
*1 cauliflower
*2 green peppers
*1 cantelope
*2 lbs onions
*1 head of lettuce
*1 turnip
*1 can of tomatoes
*1 pkg of coleslaw
*1 pkg baby carrots
*4 tomatoes

Everything appears to be really fresh, not bad for $20 bucks

That is a pretty good deal. Pricing out your list, the value from buying at the grocery store would be $30-$35.

I missed out on this month:frown: but picked up the pamphlet the other day so have the dates posted on my fridge.

To get in on June's box, the money needs to be in by June 10 & pick up is the 17th.

This is what I received in a $20 order for June:

6 bananas
6 oranges
1 very large yam
5 lbs potatoes
1 container grape tomatoes
1 English cucumber
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 box mushrooms
1 lb green beans
1 head of leaf lettuce
2 lbs red grapes
1 pkg of coleslaw
1 pkg baby carrots
3 tomatoes
2 green zucchini
1 yellow zucchini

I must say that I wish that they offered this weekly! That's a great bunch of goodies :)

I agree. This would be excellent if it was even Bi weekly!

I wish it was offered more frequently, my kids demolished all the fruit within a half hour of it being home this month :(

There was also a can of green peas in mine too on top of everything else posted

I really need to smarten up and order a cpl $20 boxes a month....

Ooops...forgot that I got a can of Green Giant corn as well.

Does anybody know when the money for July's veggie box is due?

Here is the link for the Saint John Purchasing Club.

Membership costs $ 5.00 and you have to donate 5 hours of volunteer time each year.

Actually you do not need to pay the $5 or volunteer. There is an abundance of volunteers. The $5 does not have to be paid...not sure why.
