Could you try a little vegetable gardening?

Even if you only have an apartment with a balcony you could do some container gardening.

Not talking about where to buy

Talking about the quality of apples etc many will agree they have no taste,they are hard skinned and full of water, and most are not big like we used to get apples,yes Lidls has some bargain veg etc and maybe so has safeways but we dont have a safeways in our town and no point getting bus to go for apples to find a safeways,thats added costs again its hard enuff for me on pension,dont see no point in having a day out to get a few apples, dont know about public services beside you but buses run here every 2 hours sometimes,what im talking about is taste compared to kids getting sweets etc they wont eat tasteless goods instead of a chocolate biccy,
