Free everyday life tip: Buy produce in season and skip it when it's not (step 7 of 10 from "Grocery Shopping That Saves $50 a Week").
Strawberries cost $2 per punnet in June and $6 in December. Asparagus is $2 a bunch in April and $5 in October. The price difference is not a sale — it is supply and demand. When a fruit or vegetable is in season locally, supply is high and prices drop. When it is out of season, it is shipped from another hemisphere and you pay for the flight.
Learn the rough seasons for the produce you buy most. Spring: asparagus, peas, spinach. Summer: berries, tomatoes, corn, peppers, courgette. Autumn: apples, squash, sweet potatoes, pumpkin. Winter: citrus, kale, root vegetables. You do not need to memorise a chart — just notice what is cheap and abundant at the store this week, and build meals around that. This single shift can cut your produce bill by 30%.
