Default Bagged Produce Tip

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!
