Also, you have no choice over what you get. You can get a lot of one kind of veggie that you don't like. There are 7 people in our family, and I spend $20 on produce a week. One of my local CSA's charges $650 for 20 weeks of produce. So by buying the produce I need at the store, I save $250 over 20 weeks. Before you consider a CSA, do your research and make sure you're actually saving. I don’t find CSA’s to be cheap at all, unless you have a huge family and cook a lot.
