I happened to stop by Tesco on a weekday morning and saw a mountain of honeydews (or rock melons) on sale. Everyone was making a beeline for it so I figured it had to be a good deal.

Before I could stop myself, I’d grabbed 3 beautiful honeydews whose fragrance I could smell through the skin. They turned out very sweet too.

Seasonal fruits are cheapest when they’re in abundance. I tend to over-buy simply because I can’t resist the prices, and then I have to use some of it for cooking before they go bad. Fruits like pineapples, apples and mangoes taste great when cooked.

Off-season fruits tend to be more expensive so I wouldn’t buy them till they’re in season. If you’re not picky and go with seasonal promotions, you can enjoy a wider variety of fruits and save money too.

Buying fresh fruit presents some special problems when you live on an island in the middle of the ocean! We can get all of the mangoes, papayas, pineapples, bananas and guava we want, so fresh you can still feel the tropical sun radiating from them. Pretty much everything else has to be shipped in and is so expensive that off-island fruit is almost a luxury!

Hey thanks, Skeet, I’d love to play… working on it.

Yes, it is wise to adjust the fruits and vegetables selection to the season when they are abundant.
