These are some great tips Susannah! I'm generally of the "shop really late" persuasion, though perhaps more for lack of planning, that said, I will attest to getting some great deals this way! Also, I do agree that getting to know your farmers is key. Often just a few kind words makes a big difference; case in point, this weekend I was chatting with one of the vendors and he pointed me towards the perkiest bunches of basil he had on offer.
