One thing we always had in our refrigerator were apples and oranges, even in tough economic times. Good food is the best medicine for you and your family.
Buy the fruit you love in the dried form and have it all year long, not just when it is in-season. You could decide if a dehydrater would be a good investment for you and your family also. Buying fruit on sale is always a plus to your budget. Drying foods yourself does take a good amount of time, but you know it is good quality too.
The shelf-life of dried foods is a plus. If you have children, the dried food snacks are not as messy to clean up. You may have to supplement with a filler snack, like a half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but you will know they are getting their vitamins and antioxidants with healthy servings of fruits and vegetables.
