What’s in Season For June – Produce Guide

Want to eat more healthy fruits and vegetables without blowing your budget? Ever feel you’d do a better job at eating well if the “healthy” foods were just less expensive?

A great way to save money is to take advantage of Seasonal Savings.

Of course, when your family is on a budget, it can be hard to justify spending $4 on a pint of blueberries. Especially knowing that you can feed your kids a full meal at McDonald’s for basically the same price.

Sad, but very true.

First, let’s do it right by planning your weekly shopping trip based on in-season food items. Since these items are in season, they will be much cheaper than those that are not. Time to take a look at “What’s In Season” for your area for June.

Not sure what is in season for your area? Be sure to check the “What’s in Season Map“. 

I often buy up extra in-season items to freeze for when the prices are higher. Plan ahead, making dinner tonight, and purchase extra. Make double and freeze for another dinner idea later on in the month.

Getting the Best Deals on In-Season Produce

To get the best deals, you just need to remember what produce will be in season this month. This will ensure you will stay within your budget.

It also is a good opportunity to buy extra of these items and preserve them for future use. You may want to bookmark this article or read it now. The Benefits of Home Canning. I go over ways that canning will save on your budget, keep your family healthy, and provide you with better-tasting foods.
