Cheap Food - Fruit and Vegetable Box Service from NUSA
Did you know NUSA runs a fruit and vegie box service every week during semester? You can purchase a box of fruit and vegetables for $15. You need to order and pay by 4pm on a Wednesday for collection after 11am Thursday.
This service is run by volunteers who go to the fruit and vegie market at 6am with the money and purchase the contents for the boxes. Volunteers then sort the content into everyone's box from 7am.
A cost comparison on a box last year found that the produce was $35.10 cheaper than in the supermarket. Above is a picture of the actual contents of a box from semester one this year. The content varies each week due to seasonal variation.
More information is available at NUSA.
