Thanks for the list! I especially like eggplant. There is also a great nutritional supplement from Uri International that takes organic fruits and vegetables and turns them into a powder without going over 100 degrees F so the nutrients aren't lost.
It's a good thing I like broccoli!

There's going to be more $ saving tips, stay tuned! Yeah, grad school...
