I took a trip over to the grocery outlet and was so pleased to find seeds in the "last chance" section. I bought an entire spring and summer garden's worth of seeds for $17. I won't be able to buy the produce it yields for that little! Lettuce, radishes, carrots, crookneck and zucchini squash, cucumbers, cantaloupe, watermelon, pumpkin, a few types of beans, marigolds and sunflowers to deter pests, and my favorite seeds of the mix - rainbow colored bell peppers.
Seeds are part of my food budget, as I planned on planting a garden later in the spring. I expected to pay more. I am counting this as a frugal victory since it was planned and I spent only a quarter of what I budgeted!
