Right now, spinach costs $2.80 more at Winn Dixie than Aldi — a 57% difference for the same thing.

Buy what's growing now

Florida's season runs opposite most of the country. Local produce in season is fresher and cheaper — everything else gets trucked in, and you pay for the miles.

Nothing we track is at its Florida peak in July — this is the state's quiet season, so expect most produce to be shipped in. The calendar shows when each item comes back.
