| | I usually do the decorations, not snack stuff, a bit clueless on this one. I know I need 82.5 cups of fresh fruit. How does that translate for the shopping trip at the grocery? How much of what kinds of fruit? Thanks a bunch! (I'll admit, I don't post, but I always check the board. Guess that makes me a lurker. One of these days we'll post some photos of our work. We wouldn't have the VBS we have if it wasn't for the awesome folks on the forum!) |

| It'll depend on what you want to have. Anything that's red or orange works great--and (I think) fresh fruit is more appealing than canned. If you used fresh peaches, you could probably get close to a cup out of each peach (obviously, it depends on the size of the peach, but that's a ballpark). For strawberries, those little pints usually yield 1 1/2 to 2 cups. It might take a trip to the store to get a better idea--buy a couple peaches and cut them up, or try other fruit that you like.

| What about the big bags of frozen fruit? Would that work?

| | Wal Mart and Sam's have institutional sized cans of peaches or fruit tail. For fresh fruit check into a farmers market. In Houston I can buy a case of apples way cheaper than the per pound price at the grocery store. |
