Don't make any of these mistakes the next time you go shopping for a watermelon at the store or market. It is watermelon season in many parts of the country. That means you should have access to locally grown watermelon. But don't assume that. Always make sure to check the sticker on the watermelon. Where are the watermelons coming from? This time of year you shouldn't be buying a watermelon that was picked in Mexico, when local options are available.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Corn on the Cob

Learn the first thing you should be looking at when you are shopping for corn at the grocery store. The first very first thing that I look at when shopping for corn on the cob is the corn silk. You want that silk to be light brown or tan in color. It can also be white as long as the kernels inside the cob are fully developed. The silk starts out white on the plant and will turn color from there.
