Root vegetables have great prices in my area right now. What's a deal in fresh

Tweet

food where you are right now? Rhutabagus were 69 cents a pound and that's pretty good for here. Carrots were 99 cents for two pounds. Sweet potatoes were a bag of 8 for $2.99 (I know, down south you can get a bushel for that, my husband told me already, but they don't grow up here). Squash was 79 cents a pound. I had a conversation with a woman in the store about how to prepare the rhutabagus since I don't buy them. I figure you can use them like turnips. She slices them, bakes them on a sheet with olive oil and Italian Spices. She said she got that idea from watching Malto Mario. So how do you prepare your root vegetables or the fresh food that's a deal for you in your area? We saw aloe vera parts in the food section of the store. I read that it said aloe vera can be used for soup and smoothies. I only know it as burn medicine and for constipation. I said I had never heard of that. She said she went to an Asian Store in Canada. They were going to leave without buying anything and this guy waved a bottle at them and said, "You have to try this, very good!" It was only a buck, so they bought it. It had aloe in it and it tasted great. So have you ever eaten aloe as a food and how do you prepare it?
