Eat seasonally and buy locally grown whenever you can!
Here's a convenient cheat sheet to help you do that. It's a seasonality guide to fresh produce, listing the basic stuff that you can find in most grocery stores, as well as some uncommon specialty items, by the time of year they are typically available "in season". That's when they're the freshest, most flavorful AND the cheapest. It's nice how it works out that way.
