Every time I go shopping for a recipe that calls for an herb, I always buy those plastic packages of fresh cut herbs that are about $2.00 a pack, sometimes closer to $3.50, and last about 7 days max. Today I needed fresh basil for a recipe I am making this week, but the store did not have any. I was disappointed but figured I would buy it elsewhere.
But then...
As we were walking to the check out area, I walked past a 'garden area' inside the store, and low and behold, they not only had basil, but it was only $0.99!
So lesson learned. Check for fresh plants. Not only might they be cheaper, but it's something that can continue to produce herbs for you for months. Much cheaper this way!
