Strawberries: 3 for a $1!
We went home carrying three boxes of strawberry (well, aside from other cheap fresh fruits and veggies we got). It's absolutely a great deal not only the low price but most of all the vitamin C, antioxidants, folate, fiber, protein, and other nutritional benefits we gained from eating this yummy fruit.
I love strawberries. I eat them with salt. My husband thinks it's weird because as far as he knows most people prefer to eat these type of berries with sugar. I don't belong to the crowd he mentioned.
Strawberries are quite expensive in the Philippines. A box (= to 1lb) could cost 250 - 350 Php. Fruits that cost that much is already a "big deal" for typical Filipinos. Only a few people can enjoy eating this fruit. Who? Rich people, or people who have substantial income. I myself, rarely buy strawberries because of the price. My income could afford to buy one box for a month if I wanted to, but the financial worth made me think twice. Except if I really craved to eat strawberries, that's the time I wouldn't mind the cost.
Now, I've got lots of strawberries to munch before they get bad. It's crazy to think that the abundance of strawberries here made my appetite for this fruit go down, that sometimes, they remain in the fridge until they become inedible. I hope this time, I'd be able to consume everything without a single berry going to the trash. Wish me luck to attain my goal! :)
