Bagged Produce Tip

[thkgranny]

This is one I've been doing for years, but thought I'd pass it along.

The bagged potatoes, onions, apples, oranges, (well you get the idea) - weigh them before you buy.

From my personal experience, the weight of the pre-bagged fruits & weggies can vary as much as a pound more to a 1/2 pound less than what is stated on the label!

That is a great tip! I would never have thought to double check them.

Also check your bags to make sure there are no rotten ones in them!

I work in a farm stand. Bagging prepackaged produce isn't easy, you almost never hit it dead on, but work for over by a certain percentage.

Also, if an item is "each," like lettuce is .99 each, buy the heaviest there too!

That is a good tip - I never thought of them not being right! Thanks! That way, hopefully we can get more for our money .
