In the last few days, I have decided to throw together fruit salads. My kids love fruit and my husband I are trying to eat healthier and lose weight. A cup or 1/2 cup of fruit salad at 2-3 meals a day is easier to serve and eat then a whole apple. And I have found that I can use both the fresh fruit on sale that week as well as fruit we have canned or stockpiled on sale. Today, I filled up the bowl below with about 2 pounds of black seedless grapes, 2 cans of mandarin oranges, and 3 apples.
I wanted to figure out the cost.
About 9 cups of fruit
Black grapes 99 cents/lb = $2
Mandarin oranges 50 cents a can = $1
Apples 99 cents a pound (I used three, I had weighed the reduced apples at the store there were three in a bag and they weighed about a pound, the apples were about the same size as the ones I bought) = $1
1/4 cup of powdered sugar (totally unneccesary)
Total = $4
This fruit should last us about one day for the five of us.
