Fresh foods

The Coppell Farmer's Market is open for the season! Recessionista hauls herself out of bed on Saturday mornings to swing by for fresh, local fruits, veggies, spices, jams, mixes, breads and soaps, among other things.

Key things to remember to make the Farmer's Market a good deal:

1. Get there at 8a when they open -- you snooze, you lose most of the vendors
2. Bring cash
3. Bring a tote to haul your loot
