When is it in season (by season)

You can save a lot of money simply by eating produce that is in season. Yes, you may want strawberries in November (I always do), but you'll have to pay 4 times as much for them as you would buying them in season. Eating fruits and veggies that are in season is not only a great way to save money, but it also give you a great variety to your diet. If you eat apples and bananas year round, you're missing out on all the nutrients that the other fruits provide.

A lot of these are available at good prices longer than their standard season. And some are readily available all year long (thanks to modern farming). But, this give you a good idea of when you will be able to get great deals on your fruits and veggies.
