Nate Conant has special pricing on produce at Bayview Thriftway this weekend.

“Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.” Garfield cartoonist Jim Davis isn’t wrong, but this time of year the freshest spring produce can conquer even these sweet treats. (Or better yet, use them IN your seasonal baking!)

This weekend (Friday, May 8 through Sunday, May 10), Bayview Thriftway, located in downtown Olympia, will be hosting their Mother’s Day Produce Tent Sale. Running from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day, the sale will feature some of our region’s freshest produce, and tasting is always encouraged.

Thriftway Produce Supervisor Nate Conant is excited for the upcoming big event. He explains that though the sale is “only at Bayview Thriftway, it is available to all shoppers. There will be many demos, samples and special pricing.”

Some of the showcased deals include corn 5/$2, Honeycrisp apples $1.99lb, 12oz blackberries 2/$7, cantaloupe 2/$3, honeydew melon .99 each, tomatoes on the vine $1.29lb, Vidalia sweet onions $1.29lb, red seedless grapes $2.99lb, mangos 2/$3, long stem artichokes 2/$7, bananas .59lb, organic mangos 2/$4, green peppers 2/$1, and nectarines $1.99lb.

Got a sweet tooth or need something to finish up that mid-day lunch of samples? Both Ralph’s and Bayview are hosting their twice-annual chocolate-dipped strawberry promotion Friday and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Look for Conant himself inside the store, busily working the fragrant chocolate fountain. While picking up a package of the freshly crafted treats for Mother’s Day you’ll need a few for yourself…for quality control purposes. They’re only here in the spring so make sure to stock up!

If you find yourself needing new tools to prep, cook, or serve the weekend’s bounty, head inside either Thriftway location with your ThrifteCard to earn 10% back on all blue-tagged houseware items purchased through May 10. This third annual Housewares Appreciation Event can have you making carb-free veggie noodles in a snap or learning a trick of the trade you didn’t know before.
