Why not just eat them?
Why not just eat them?
I always remove the stalks from tomatoes before weighing. I doubt that this saves me more than a penny per time, but what the heck.
And I always rummage through the cauliflowers to make sure that I get one of the bigger ones. I do think it's a bit off that they charge a fixed price when the size varies by as much as 100%.

Well in my Tesco's the bins are side-by-side: one contains clingfilmed or bagged veg, the other one has the loose stuff.
But TNP's point about the veg being protected is well-taken though: I suppose at least it means the produce hasn't potentially been mauled by loads of E.coli-ridden fingers.
Umm, maybe I'll buy the clingfilmed stuff next time...

Who do you think packs it?
Whilst that is generally the case, it is always as well to check the prices. I was just about to select a few handfuls of Sainsbury's sprouts before Christmas, when I spotted that their bagged ones were less than half the price per kilo that they were loose.

Hopefully just a single set of E.coli-ridden fingers (and with luck, encased in plastic gloves?)

It's easy enough to avoid the ones that are 100% smaller...
Buy one get a 100% smaller one free every time!
I agonised for ages as to whether I should use 100% (bigger) or 50% (smaller).
Perhaps I chose the wrong one :-(

In the company I work for, certain ball-park estimates for internal charging are qualified as being +/- 100%.We all know what's intended but nobody, other than me, seems to question the expression.
