Is Bountiful Baskets worth the money?

                  I have admit I was quite nervous on starting Bountiful Baskets. I was not sure what I was going to get! The conventional basket is $15. Would I get $15 worth, would it be good, would it be fresh? So many questions! So I tried it out! I couldn't believe how much I actually got for my money!!
                   Here is how it works. The first thing I would do is to see if they delivering to your area. Go to Bountiful Baskets, you will see LOCATION, scroll on that, it gives you two options, choose CURRENT LOCATIONS.

Once that page comes up, choose your state.
Once it filters your state, you can see the list of cities. Choose the one nearest to you (you can filter the cities as well).  If you don't see a location nearest you, you can request it (under locations).
Once you find your city, click on details.

The next page gives you all the details to pick up your order.
Once you have decided that YES indeed you can pickup at that location day and time, you are ready to order!

 First read the New Participant Instructions!!

Then set up an account! Go to to MY ACCOUNT and scroll down to CREATE NEW A ACCOUNT.

Register your information then submit!

Then you will be able to Login.
Once you are logged in you can look at your history, account information and the current offers.
You can ONLY PUT IN AN ORDER ON MONDAYS NOON UNTIL TUE AT 10PM OF YOUR WEEK!!

Keep an eye out and I will  show you how to place an order and how to check out!

My first basket consisted of 1 Conventional Basket $15, Juice Package add on $8.50, 38 lbs Minneola Tangelo $22.50 and 5 loaves of Organic Multigrain Bread $12. The bread is fabulous!!
These baskets contained bananas, apples, mango, red bell pepper, celery, broccoli, onions, potatoes, squash, pears, beet, pineapple, kale, grapes, ginger, lemon, sweet potato, Italian parsley, romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes (there may be some things missing). Take a look at how beautiful it is!



 This last weeks basket was just as lovely as the last. Sorry my photos are not very good, I used my smart phone instead of my camera. Then the kids got into the goodies! Yesterday we picked up our conventional basket, tropical basket and bread! It came with several artichokes, pears, potatoes, brussel sprouts, oranges, pineapple, lime, coconut, mint, vanilla beans, bananas, plantain, ginger, strawberries, avocado, green cauliflower and poblano peppers (I think)!




So is Bountiful Basket worth the money!! I would say YES!!!
Here are some words to the wise, if you want to order all organic, order early!! I have found that if I wait later on Monday, its usually gone! Also, they only take credit/debit cards! One thing I absolutely love about Bountiful Baskets is that you don't have to commit to months or years at a time, its just one week at a time :D
Hope this helps you all :D
