Farmers markets offer a variety of seasonal produce, but not all items are worth the higher price. While unique fruits and vegetables are often well worth the investment, staples like onions may not provide enough flavor difference to justify the expense over supermarket options. For dishes requiring cooked onions, opting for bulk bags at grocery stores can save money while still offering quality ingredients. A strategic approach to shopping at farmers markets focuses on rare finds rather than common produce.
Fruits and vegetables that are identical in appearance to grocery store versions, like onions, may not be worth the premium at farmers markets for everyday cooking.
While fresh heirloom onions may be ideal for salads, basic onions for cooking can be found at lower prices in grocery stores without losing dish quality.
