Tips for Getting the Most Value out of your Urban Harvest Delivery!

Added on March 30, 2011

Needing to budget more carefully? Here are a few tips to help you economize and maximize the value of your Urban Harvest delivery!

1. Select best buys to economize. The items marked V on our list offer the best food value for your dollar.

2. Look for bulk options under the Produce Specials + Bulk Sales tab. Buying larger orders at a lower cost (when available) can save you money on staples that store well, like potatoes, onions, and apples.

3. Meal planning can help to ensure you are a) ordering appropriate items that your family can/will enjoy, and b) using up everything that comes in your bin each week!

4. Keep us on our toes! If you receive unsatisfactory items in your box, please inform us WITHIN 48 HOURS, and we'll provide a credit toward your next order.

5. Smaller household? Not using up all of your produce each week? Here are some ideas!

Consider ordering on a biweekly or flex basis, rather than weekly.

Save some of your stars to add to a future order when you'll have more people in the household or there is a higher-value item in season that you'd like to enjoy.

Order extras of staples that will last longer in your fridge between deliveries, such as apples, root veggies, squash, etc.

Make soup! Then freeze it in meal-sized portions in your freezer for busy nights when you don't have time to cook!
