    Yea, the $1.50 handling fee you will be charged every week or every time you order a basket.  and then for your first time there is the $3.00 join in fee :)

    Right on.  I am so excited for you guys to get your first basket :)

    You've got to have us to your house and make chicken parm... haha! That way I don't have you in my house cooking chicken parm. There is something not right about that :-P

    He didn't like his $50 eggplant parm that he had when he was with that other chick but hopefully, I can convert him....

  • Question- what do I bring to pick up my stuff? Is a reusable grocery bag ok? I have a few of those.

    Oh, and do I need to bring my order confirmation email or anything?

  • Our BB fills an entire laundry basket, so if you are going to use bags, bring A LOT.

    They didn't ask us for our confirmation receipt, they just have your name on a check sheet.  But its a good idea to bring it in case there is some kind of mix up.

  • I'm SO excited for this week!  I'm also thinking of doing eggplant parm :)  

    Last weekend was ridiculous because we picked up our basket and my Mums...we had an overflowing laundry basket plus we had to hand carry a bunch too.  You get so much produce it's crazy.

     

  • Ditto, Sweetie!  I'm looking at the website right now and this is awesome!!!
  • Can I just say how absolutely amazed I am that so many of you caught on to this after we talked about it a few weeks ago.  

    It really does go to show that people do get excited about stuff like this.

    I had heard about it and was always "shy" i guess you could say because CJ is such a picky eater when it comes to veggies.  growing up for him the veggies in his diet consisted of canned corn and canned green bean.  nothing against his mom that is just what they were used too.  I was brought up to at least try things once but the things my mom didn't like we didn't eat.  so now that i am building my own life with CJ and we are growing as our own family unit i wanted to set the foundation for healthier eating habits before we have kids.  So once i saw you and a couple others had joined i wanted to pick your brains to get the in's and out's and i am pleasantly surprised with how open CJ has been to all this new cuisine i have been introducing to him lately.  Seriously thank you ladies for all you assitance and advice in getting me to join BB Big Smile

  • DH volunteered and came home with a ridiculous amount of produce.  He had half an apple box full of apples, a flat of blackberries, 2 honeydews, 2 cantolopes, 3 bundles of spinach, 4 artichokes, a boatload of tomatillos, and a ton of whatever else they had.

     

    It seriously paid off for him to volunteer for an hour and a half for all that produce.

    thats cool. CJ and I are usually up pretty early...6:30 is sleeping in for us haha so the 7 am pick up works perfectly.  but 8 is probably nice too especially when you have little ones :) are you so excited for you first basket?
