By far, the best deal i have ever found is at my local farmers market. I live in New Smyrna Bch Fl, and if there are any people in this area, coming to visit, or even an hour away, I highly suggest you come check it out!

Today I bought
4 bunches dandelion greens,
1 head oak leaf lettuce,
2 bunches parsley,
1 head escarole,
1 HUGE bunch dino kale ( like 8 bunches in a store)

it all cost me 17 dollars--- and the kicker----all grown pesticide free, the farmer does this on the side so he doesnt have the organic certification. and it was all picked last night less than 2 miles from where I live!
I also got a mint plant, an orchid- with a double spike- and some basil for ten dollars....crazy

I find it funny that saturdays are my favorite day becasue i get to go play with lettuce...it really is the simple things that bring the most pleasure.

O gosh, I am envious! all those dandelion greens and kale too! my favorites.

Sounds like you have a great well-stocked market. You got a fantastic deal!

I will have to wait for this weekend to see if they have any kale collards dandelion at all or pay $3.99 each for dandelions at whole foods.
