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.
