These days it seems you can’t leave the house without dropping $20.

Dinner and a movie. Filling (half) your tank with gas. Even your morning soy latte and bagel (toasted twice, please) are making a dent.

At this rate, locking yourself inside may be the only way to save a dime.

At least you won’t starve, thanks to Newleaf Natural Grocery’s Produce Box Subscription Program, a weekly delivery of fresh organic fruits and veggies.

You decide what type of box you’d like — fruit, vegetable, or mixed — and they do the rest, packing it up for you based on availability and price. (We scored local beets, Walla Walla onions, and sweet strawberries one week this past summer.)

Boxes start around $15, and the price always stays the same no matter what the assortment. (Take that, Whole Foods!) Plus, each box comes with recipes — so you can actually cook something with each piece of produce.

Which is a lot better for you than cooking the books.
