Shopper Advice
“I also buy produce based on what’s on sale to save money. And if you aren’t sure how to use
something or what to serve with it, just ask! The folks who work at the Wedge and friendly and full
of great ideas!”
“And lastly Iook up favorite brands on Facebook or find their website-often you can find
coupons or get on their mailing list and they will send you some.”

Fresh Herbs
Treat herbs like cilantro, parsley, chives, mint, dill, and tarragon like a bouquet of
flowers. Snip the bases of the stems and put them upright in a glass of water, changing it
every day.
