Can you believe January is already here again? It’s an exciting time for many as they begin a new year and start fresh with those New Year’s Resolutions. There are lots of great in-season fruits and vegetables as well as sales on diet foods, organizational tools, and more to get the year started off right. If you happen to come down with a winter cold, it’s also the right time to stock up on vitamins and medicines. I’ve got the full list of what to buy in January so you can stay on top of grocery store trends and make the most of current sales!
Tip: If you are looking for a source that constantly updates, check out the National Fruit & Vegetable Retail Report issued by the government every couple of weeks. This report gives the top 10 fruits and vegetables and the national percentage of which fruits and vegetables are in store ads.
