Someone posted a while ago about the prepackaged "5 pound" bags of potatoes at the supermarket and how they could be off significantly. Ever since, I've weighed the bags before buying them. Any produce that is sold by the piece rather than by the pound should be weighed, like heads of lettuce or bunches of radishes.
