Here’s what to look for when buying watermelon Look the watermelon over. Look for
a firm, symmetrical watermelon free
of bruises, cuts or dents.
Lift it up. It should be heavy for its
size. Most of the weight is water.

Whether its fruit and veggies at
farmers markets, meat for
outdoor grilling, ingredients for
graduation dinners or food for the
family road trip, you’ll save by
shopping your commissary
during June.
Strawberries-banana trifle, dessert made easy
Promotions with names like
“Splash Into Summer,” “Patriot
Perks,” “Pick Your Flavor, Pick
Your Ride,” and “Project Healing
Waters” have lots to offer and you
can find out more about them
before your next shopping trip.
Turn it over. The underside should
have a creamy yellow spot where it
sat on the ground and ripened in the
sun.
Bridget Bennett, produce category manager
Now is a great time to look for fresh strawberries at your commissary.
Strawberries and bananas combine with vanilla wafers and instant vanilla
pudding to make Strawberry-Banana Trifle, a showy dessert that’s not
only easy to make but tastes as great as it looks.
June means summertime savings for you
