Big Papa’s Fruit & Vegetable – Littleton, New Hampshire

Thanks to a hot tip from OHAM reader Leah, last month we were able to score some seriously good deals on produce from a place called Big Papa’s Fruit & Vegetable in Littleton, New Hampshire.

Deals like a 40 pound box of ORGANIC Bartlett Pears for $20, a 50 pound sack of Yukon Gold potatoes for $23 and a 20 pound box of sweet potatoes for $8.99. Talk about some seriously awesome deals!

Big Papa’s Fruit and Vegetable Stand is only open three days a week {Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays} and the prices and offerings are always changing {you can click HERE to see what they currently have in stock}. A store that’s only open three days a week…. that’s pretty unusual. But I guess if you’re dealing in fresh produce, you’ve got to keep the stock moving, right?

50 pounds new potatoes for $16? I’d say that’s a pretty good deal!

One of the super cool things about Big Papa’s Fruit & Vegetable, is that at the end of business on Saturdays at 2 pm sharp, they hold an auction and sell the remaining produce to the highest bidder. We were there on a Thursday, so we didn’t get to see any bidding action, but still, if I was a local, you can bet I’d probably show up each week to score some deals.

Places like the Big Papa’s Fruit & Vegetable stand, they’re kind of hard to come by these days, and when you do find them, a lot of the produce stands are filled with so many overpriced hippy dippy products, that you just want to roll your eyes and walk out {I’m talking about things like beet juice shots, fancy lotions, $12 bars of goat milk soap, organic farm raised dehydrated sea weed chips, $25 a pound bags of roasted coffee beans from the hilltops of the Himalayan mountains etc.}.

What I liked about the Big Papa’s Fruit & Vegetable place though, was that they were just there to sell a boatload of fruits and vegetables in a short amount of time to people who don’t need fancy end caps filled with overpriced merchandise to stroll by, or a wine and cheese tastings in the deli department. {You know what I’m talking about, those stores… that get the prices they do because they want to make sure their customers are getting an experience.}

Big Papa’s Fruit & Vegetable in Littleton, New Hampshire. It’s my kind of place.

No frills. Just good prices. 😉

So, if you ever find yourself near the White Mountains of New Hampshire, stop on by. You’ll be glad you did.

Have a great Thursday everyone,
