Green Bee Produce

I'm so excited about my new find that I just have to tell you all about it! My family eats a lot of produce during the week and though I have never been part of a food co-op before, I have looked into several of them. I know that you have to put in so many volunteer hours in order to get your box of food. Well, no more! I found Green Bee Produce through a KSL listing and decided to look into it. The Bee Box Classic is only $18.50. I emailed the company and asked about contracts to sign or requirement to order every week and got a speedy response that there is none of that involved.
The produce comes out of Arizona every week on a truck and has several different drop-offs around the valley. Check the website for locations and order deadlines (mine is today by midnight). They can't always promise organic produce, but they try to get it whenever they can. Basically the concept is to cut out the grocer, making the produce much fresher than found in the stores.
Next I called the local pickup location (yes, in my own little city!) and talked to the lady who has done it, wanting to know how legit it was. She talked to me for about 20 minutes and needless to say, I was convinced and decided to give it a go this last week. I ordered last Monday and picked up my HUGE box of produce on Saturday. I feel like my grocery shopping is already done for the week! Here is what I got for $18.50:


10 apples (red delicious and cameo)
i huge head of romaine lettuce (delish!)
4 Roma tomatoes
1 lb of carrots
5 pears
1 large bag of green, seedless grapes
1 bunch bananas
1 pineapple
5 lbs. of oranges
2 red onions
5 potatoes
1 head of cauliflower

I was blown away! So far the things I've tasted from the box are of great quality and they seem to guarantee their quality so if you are not satisfied, they will either refund or replace or both! Selfishly, I'm trying to get the word out so they don't cancel the location so close to me! It's a fairly new program here in UT so if you live here or in AZ give it a try!

Another $10 Princess and the Frog Coupon AND Toy Story 1 & 2

I thought I was out of luck with the $10 off coupon for Princess and the Frog Blu-ray combo pack since it expired last weekend, BUT I found another one that goes through this week. I thought I'd let you all know about it. Plus, also on the same link there are $5 off coupons for Toy Story 1 and 2 that come out today. OR, if you already own the DVD (and, come on, who doesn't?) are a Disney Rewards member, you can enter your code from your original DVD and print out a $10 off coupon for the Blu-ray upgrade (which also includes a DVD and a movie ticket for Toy Story 3, at least if you buy it at Target or Toys R Us--not sure where else they have that deal; we got ours from Target since they have also included a DVD-ROM game as well). Also if you buy both through Target, they will automatically deduct $10, so that's a total of $30 off 2 Blu-rays, making them about $8 each, and each one includes a movie ticket, so it is almost like getting the movie for free!

I need your help though. If anyone finds a Princess and the Frog combo pack, will you let me know where you see it? I have yet to purchase it and, at least around me, there are none to be found and I'd like to get it for my little girl for Easter! Thanks a bundle!
