Why do they sell precut salad in bags at the grocer?
People are lazy retards.
Oh I’ll pay more cuz I am to dumb to slice up veg...
As I understand it, the pre-cut bags of lettuce in the market started out as a way to profit from waste. They were using the left-over pieces from salad suppliers and distributors who were discarding the loose outside pieces so the heads of lettuce looked good stacked in the market. They took those excess pieces and chopped and bagged them. After it became acceptable to consumers and demand increased, they expanded to using whole heads of lettuce and even bags of cole slaw (without the sauce). I will admit to buying that. I like cole slaw, so I make my own. But more often I just sliver off cabbage and dress it with Italian. I like bigger pieces. More fun to chew and easier to stab with a fork :-)
The pre-sliced leafy greens come in pre-mixed packages. You can buy 1/4lb of this 1/4lb of that and 1/2 pound of something else. Probably not going to save much.
And I find if I slice up my celery the day I buy it and then put it in a ziplock bag, it lasts longer than if I leave the whole thing together and just cut off a few stalks each day. They start to wilt quickly.
I do slice up my own pineapples as well. They want far too much to do it for you.
