One of the best ways to save money at the grocery story is to pay attention to grocery store trends and try to buy produce in season. With warmer weather comes some of my favorite fruits and vegetables! This month, items like corn and tomatoes are just coming into season, so you will watch the price continue to drop as summer comes.
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.
Read on to see what to buy in May so you can get the best bang for your buck!

A huge way to save more on Amazon is always using Subscribe & Save when it’s an option!
To get the most savings (up to 15% off everything in your order) you ALWAYS want to have at least 5 different items in your next subscription box.
You can always skip or cancel any future order. I set future orders to ship in 6 months so I have plenty of time to adjust and cancel items before they ship again. Manage all your subscriptions here.
Here’s a great list of cheap Amazon Subscribe & Save filler items to help you stay at 5 or more items!
Tip: Don’t cancel your filler items, just skip them on the months you don’t need them. That way you don’t need to go hunting for them again if you need them later.
