Notes to reduce prices: To reduce this price, I could find some garden fresh produce to cut back on the high price of vegetables. For example, my mom grows
zucchinis and squash in her garden and if they keep fresh, this could cut back on a significant amount. In addition, we could do smaller serving sizes of this
vegetable to reduce costs.
