I was in the grocery store today and it occurred to me that I don’t really know what’s “In Season” during December. It also occurred to me that I could be eating for less money if I had a better idea of what to buy.
The table below is adapted from this website. (Though there are many sites that seem to have the same list, or something remarkably similar.) I consolidated their information and removed the stuff I’m unlikely ever to purchase (“Ollalieberries”??) — I wanted the table to be small enough to print and keep in a coat pocket:
