I was up about 6:15 this morning and my body just didn’t like the idea of going back to sleep. So I jumped in my car and went to the Haymarket. Driving was a really good move because I wouldn’t have been able to carry everything on the T.

Today might have been the perfect day to go. So many things are in their peak seasons now. Food was plentiful, the quality higher than the last time I went, and prices were competitive. Strawberries were the item of the day. So were mangoes. The hardest thing to find was the blueberries. One seller had them for $2.50 a pint, and I bought two. That set me back a bit. Everything else was pretty cheap.

This entire haul cost me about $25, which is way less than I would have spent at the grocery store.
