I participated in my first Co-op today and this is what I got:
1 Meat Share:
1 lb lean ground beef
2 lbs chicken drumsticks
4 6 oz cubed steaks
2 lbs pork sirloin roast
1 Produce Share:
bananas
5 pears
4 peaches
cauliflower
romaine lettuce
grape tomatoes
3 avocados
celery
It cost $24. You pay a $5 lifetime membership fee when you join and your not required to do it every month. They have tons of pick-up locations so we only had to go a couple blocks. They also require you do 2 hours of volunteer work a month (meaning anything you do free for someone outside your family). They ask that you volunteer with them for 2 hours a year. Im very happy with what we got! Nothing has to be eaten right away, which I like. :)

This is our First Bountiful Basket.
2 Lemons,10 Banana's, 8 Apples, 16 oz. Strawberries, 5 Oranges, 5 pounds Potatoes, 2 pounds Carrots, 1 bunch Broccoli, 1 bunch Swiss Chard, 1 bunch leaf lettuce, 3 bunches Asparagus, and 10 Cucumbers
Amazing and all for $15!!!! (there is a $3 charge for first time and $1.50 handling)
I also had the opportunity to volunteer and I think that I will do that EVERY time. Not only do you get your basket first but you get a little extra (2 small items or 1 big item) if there are leftovers after the separating is done. I really enjoyed it. Great people and so much fun. I am HOOKED!!
