Like a lot of shoppers, I look for bargains when it comes to choosing which fruits and vegetables to cook each week.

Even in winter, when selections can be slim if you’re not a fan of root veggies and brassicas like cabbage, broccoli, and kale, I tend to buy not what looks the yummiest or most interesting, but what’s on sale—or at least has a price I can live with.
