Root's Market Trip

Tuesday Joe and I took my mom to Lancaster, and we stopped into Root's Farmer's Market, and they are HUGE!!!  There are so many wonderful things there, and almost everything is an awesome deal! However, if you aren't watching, you could easily spend a small fortune there as well!  Here are some of our deals...

• 5-3 lb bags Raw Sugar $3.50 ea = 5/$17.50
• 1 pint Double Dill Pickles $4
• 1 Italian Sub (which we shared for dinner that night and it was DELICIOUS!) $5.50
• 2 large Delmonico steaks (which we filleted and got 4 steaks out of) $17.50 (we are taking these on vacation to grill, so compared to the price of a steak dinner out in OC, these were a real bargain)

Total OOP: $44.50, but we are stocked up on sugar for a while, which is the whole reason we stopped!

We only got to go through 1 building because of time constraints, but I cannot wait to go back!!!
