Great bargains can be had here, but you can also spend money on produce that you will be throwing away very quickly after purchase if not inspected thoroughly and used ASAP. Make sure to carefully inspect the ripeness / color / texture / firmness of every object and open those packages of berries; there can be hidden mold on many products. There is a reason things are marked down so cheap; preparing a dinner for that evening - go for it. Stocking up for the week - think twice. My favorite bargains are when avocados are 4 / $1 or flats of bananas are $3. A great way to overindulge on some tasty guacamole (get the seasoning next door) or a cheap healthy treat for the office staff. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd visit daily and knock down my grocery bill by 75%.

Bring cash and be prepared so you can quickly pay the employees who are walking around to bag your selections for you. They have a lot of items that are unique and harder to find at other stores, and they have tons of variety! Always make sure to check out the $1 sale bowls for deals on large quantities of super ripe produce (ex. 8 super ripe plums for $1 and 10 old potatoes for $1)

I'm almost hesitant to give away my ultra secret place for buying pumpkins, gourds and mums but…read moreI'll share with my fellow Yelpers! This place is a few notches up from a road side stand and is about a 40 minute drive from the KCI area, so for me, no big deal to get here. In the summer, they are a huge fireworks stand and veggie and fruit market. In the fall, they still offer late season veggies and have an amazing selection of pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn, hay bales, etc for far better prices than in KC. I brought my friend here with me last week on our pumpkin run and she was amazed to get a cart load of pumpkins at the price she paid. Let's just say she found a huge white and green striped gourd weighing about 40 pounds...for $5.99. Yes, it's that amazing. Now, I happen to be a pumpkin freak and I love fall (I loooooooove pumpkins!) so digging through bins and bins overloaded with every pumpkin variety imaginable is a perfect morning for me! My haul included two HUGE mums (2 for $20), and 8 pumpkins!! (Cinderella, huge white, green, yellow/green stripe, peanut, etc in all shapes and sizes) for $48..total was a little over $73 for a literal trunk full. If you are a fellow pumpkin freak, you won't be disappointed.
